If you cook soy properly it isn't like eating a dirty sponge. First buy
the extra firm kind. Then even with that one you can dry it even more by
compressing the soy by wrapping it in cloth on a plate and put a book on
top of it. Soy takes on any flavor that you cook with it. For starters
try crumbling it up, sauting it with oregano and a little oil and onions
then add it to spaghetti. You would not notice the difference from meat.
Properly cooked it's good!
{an opinion ahead} (((Of course the real issue is where it's from. That
is why most health conscious people are now dropping soy. Soy is the
most GMO grown food ever. Without starting a huge discussion, that
basically means that it's able to withstand a ton of ROUNDUP poison
spray. And to what benefit? The yields have not gone up and now it has a
ton more poison in it all to mansato's benefit on a patent that was
about to expire. And the pesticide arms race is on because everything
gets resistant to that toxin in a number of years; which they admit to.
Then if the GMO crop blows over to your field, they sue you and say you
'stole' their patented crop. And they do sue.)))
As for prostate cancer, I suspect that those of us who came down with
it; it's partly because the reproductive organs are susceptible to
poisons in our environment and we are more sensitive to those. I
personally try to avoid certain foods along the processed lines and find
that much unprocessed food tastes better.
Soy is really GOOD if cooked properly!
As for supplements; there are a few more to take and I'll post later
what ones I take. As many here have pointed out, alternative methods are
good as long as they don't become the sole treatment. Maybe western
medicine isn't all it's cracked up to be but it so far has saved my life
and has many well meaning people trying to do everything they can to
save lives.
