Donna Marie: its okay...but can't beat Greek Gods yogurt in honey flavor. tastes like cheese cake.
Kimberly Caron: lovin' the aussie stuff lately too...
Mary Smith: Thank you for the suggestion...I will try that!
Joni Johnson: Women should use caution eating soy as it contains a natural hormone that emulates estrogen. Some dr's believe estrogen increase is a link to breast cancer. The lowest fast and huge protein option is SKYR which is Icelandic. Eat the plain and you are doing your body a huge favor!

Donna Marie: omg Skyr ROCKS it has the most grams of protein per serving than any other yogurt on the market.
Benjamin Terry: oh mary, if i come home and there is no room in the refrigerator for my high lifes and bacon, there will be trouble...
Mary Smith: panties still in a twist, eh?
Kimberly Caron: muah hahaha. cranky ben.
Benjamin Terry: nothing worse than twisty panties. they'll mess up your whole day.
Kimberly Caron: maybe you should find a more comfy pair...
Donna Lee Parenti Gennaro: probably helps those with lactose intolerance...other than that..yuk
Danielle Ruckus: Since I am vegan its the only yogurt I eat. Make sure if you get soy yogurt that it has active cultures in it and don't eat it every day: too much of anything including soy is bad for you. I like silk vanilla: it is awesome to use in muffins and its a (not.so.secret.anymore) ingredient to make vegan french toast!
Mary Smith: this is officially the most interactive post. xoxoCharlotte Thomas-Davison: i cant believe this topic has gotten such a big response. people are really passionate about yogurt.
Benjamin Terry: seems only fitting that a post about yogurt would be this active.
Kimberly Caron: Oh active yogurt cultures. Keepin' us busy.
Corinne Wahlberg: delicious. but, yeah too much of soy is not so good. but then again, too much of anything isn't good. right?
Cate Morin: Ruckus- You're really missing out on fishsticks and nachos. ;)
Mary Smith: Soy Sticks? Soychos?

There is actually quite a bit of controversy in the medical research world as to whether women should use caution with eating soy. Some research has linked it to an increased risk for certain types of cancers, some has not. I asked a nutritionist at Kripalu for his opinion. John has a Ph.D. in food and nutrition sciences and is very knowledgeable on topics such as these. His response was:
ReplyDelete"I have no problem with tofu, tempeh, and
unsweetened soy milk so long as you digest them well. I am not very keen on soy protein isolates that are found in so many products. I think that soy is protective against estrogen positive cancers if anything, I do not think that it is estrogenic because it contains phytoestrogens. That is like saying one key opens all doors. The phytoestrogens look like estrogen, they are similar, but they do not trigger the same physiological processes."
Additionally, William Helferich at the University of Illinois says, "“Whole soy contains a lot of biologically active ingredients, but together they may have multiple effects that can reduce the negative outcomes. When the whole food is consumed you get a very different effect than if you consume the concentrated constituents individually.” (from the article: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/05/070516133004.htm)
