I Was Told to Avoid

[blufaerie]

Soy, flaxseed and alcohol. By my oncologist. I lost weight on my diet a couple of years ago by switching to soy milk and adding lots of fibre, including flaxseed to my menus. Who knew?
She tells me that having Chinese food now and then is fine.

The thing is, the cancer center nutritionist, her office nurse, and the other oncologist in her office tell me different things!
I was surprised by the number of processed/store bought food items that contain soy lecithin and especially soy protein. So I asked each person, how much soy, if any is really safe?
The nutritionist said three glasses of soy milk per day was fine, but no protein bars, as that would put me over the limit.
The office nurse said, "natural is better, avoid processed foods."
The other oncologist said, "everything in moderation."

I am so confused!
