Wink Re: more reasons to eat your tomatoes and carrots!(and avoid soy)

I agree. All natural foods have something benefical otherwise they wouldn't be on the planet. The key here is to eat things in their most natural state whenever possible. That doesn't mean we have to eat everything raw, just not altered to look and function like something else whenever possible. Everything in moderation is the key to good health. For example edamane are soy beans. They may have soy which may or may not affect estrogen levels in the body, but they are also very high in protein and have some other nutrients which are good for us. If we want soy milk we can cook some edamane and then throw them in a blender instead of buying commercially prepared soymilk which may or may not have additives that may change the way the soy affects our bodies.
