Let's talk about soy. Memesters on this site love to poke fun at people who consume soy products but let's face the facts: Soy is an excellent source of Iron, Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Protien, Omega3 VB12 and VB6. It can be used to improve cardiovascular health, help with weight loss and prevent certain cancers. Soy is great alternative to both meat and dairy for people who adhere to a plant based diet and even has more nutritional benefits. Some think that because soy is an estrogenic plant that makes it femme food, but soy actually contains phytoestrogen (plant based) and has no proven adverse effects on the human body, including hormone levels for both males and females alike.

What is your excuse for avoiding the soy?
