Soy information...

People have asked me to post some information from my research on the ingredient soy that is used in many food products for taste.

Many people are allergic to soy, or make a personal choice not to use it in their food.  However, people with chronic illnesses are even more aware of studies that show soy is not good for their health and healing.

What many of us don't realize is that as our society has turned more towards organic, we should be reading the labels on our food further to make sure we know exactly what is in what we are eating.

This post is about Soy and Chickens......the next time you go to the store, you probably will see "Organic Chicken Vegetarian Fed" (or something like this....usually frozen in some of the top health food stores).

Please be aware that "Vegetarian Fed" very often means that the chickens have been fed corn and SOY!!   So if the chickens are eating soy, the eggs we eat also have SOY!

But in my research I have found that there are now SOY FREE EGGS.   I have been able to find them at Whole Foods, and will continue to search further.   Also, online research shows that there are farms listed that raise Soy Free Chickens.

***And as an added note....Please be aware that TOFU, also known as bean curd, is a food made by coagulating SOY milk and then pressing the resulting curds into soft white blocks.  Another product to avoid if you do not want to consume soy. (Although I am not very familiar with it, there are online products listed as "soy free tofu" to check out)

Happy Soy Free eating!
