Re: Oh no! Not ice cream, too! Risk of death from bc increases in survivors overind

I tend to buy organic milk with no hormones so I hope that helps somewhat. I should remember to buy the organic yogurt as well. I feel I am doing the best I can, but I am still going to have that piece of cheese (or two) when I want. I dont eat much ice cream because it hard to find pure ice cream without any additives. I pick up the Hagaen Daz ice cream and take a look at the saturated fat content and almost fall over and then put it back in the freezer at the supermarket. Because I am ER+ I am aware of watching the estrogen. However I still want to indulge in the piece of chocolate cake etc when I go out. I suppose I get more worried about drinking wine than eating cheese and creme brule etc. I do love to have wine with dinner when we go out (2 glasses per week) but even so I think we need to live and have fun! Cheers all have a good weekend Loia
