Even was macrobiotic before that for some time but found it very difficult to maintain with teenage kids. I went hypo thyroid and am now just getting back to some semblance of balance. I stopped soy products about 10-15 years ago and avoid soy protein isolates as well. Rice milk and almond milk seem healthier choices as opposed to dairy. Wish we could access raw milk, but that's a whole other story! It is a shame what Food Inc. and all the mega farming practices have done to our land and our food chain. I am currently finding it so frustrating to find "good healthy options" especially as beans and lentils are our least favourite foods. I'm just ranting so please ignore what doesn't resonate.

I think I know what you mean about soy. I used soy for a number of years too and felt like something was wrong. Then I read about a study that showed bad effects on the brain (The study subjects were all men but I suppose it might have the same effect on women). Since I stopped using soy I feel much better mentally. It took a long time to notice those effects. I'm glad I did a lot of reading otherwise I never would have learned about it.
