Nutrition and Weight Loss Ideas

Today we’re going to continue with our discussion about soy products. If you didn’t get a chance to read Monday’s article, you might want to jump back and give that a read before you go on to today’s article. We were talking about some of the myths surrounding the eating of soy.

Another myth is that using soy formula could harm a baby’s development.

This goes back to the same isoflavone argument that we talked about yesterday. If you think about the fact that some 20 million infants have been fed soy-based formula since the 1960s — and based on a study published in the Journal of American Medical Association — there were no major health differences on the men and women studied who were fed either soy or milk formula when they were infants.

What do doctors recommend today?

First, breastfeed if at all possible, for as long as possible — ideally until your child is one year old.

If that’s not possible and you have to use soy or dairy-based formula, don’t beat yourself up about it. If there are any risks, they are likely to be very small. Hopefully, continuing research will shed more light on this question.

Another question has to do with soy and the thyroid.

Well, a recent review of the research published in the journal, “Thyroid”, found no significant effects of soy on the thyroid gland except in people who were iodine deficient — something that is quite rare in this country.

We should not focus too much of our diet on soy - anymore than we should be eating too much of one food over another. The soy we do eat should be the natural soy products like, miso, tempeh, tofu, soy milk, and edamame (young soybeans in the pod). Just one or two servings a day are fine. I know, for myself, I use soy milk on my whole grain cereal every morning.

It would be better to avoid some of the genetically engineered soyfoods like, soy supplements, soy cheese, soy ice cream and soy burgers. These may have some unhealthy fats and compounds in them that we don’t know enough about.

Good human studies about soy are limited. Those we do know about suggest that soy may help to lower cholesterol, prevent cancer, increase bone density, protect the kidneys of people with diabetes, and relieve menopausal symptoms like hot flashes.

If you don’t like soy foods, then substitute things like olive oil, fish oil, nuts and seeds.

I also want to be sure that you have a chance to get your own copy of “The Secret”, the amazing DVD that everyone is talking about. Millions of people are learning about it and you should count yourselves among them.

To get your own copy of the DVD “The Secret”, just go here:

Click here to order your copy of “The Secret” DVD.

You can also order “The Secret” from the Spiritual Cinema Circle.

The primary theme behind “The Secret” is the “Law of Attraction”. This law basically says that what we think about or desire — what we believe — what our feelings are about whatever we’re desiring — and what sort of action we take concerning those desires — will determine what we will attract into our lives. Learning how to apply the “Law of Attraction” is “The Secret”.
