One of the best healthy food articles I've read in a long time. We have stopped counting calories and started counting ingredients. The one thing the article doesn't mention is soy, which is in almost everything. We avoid that as well.

Soy is almost impossible to avoid anymore, and studies have shown that soy adversely affects estrogen levels in men. Couple that with this low-fat, no-fat, no cholesterol craze with which we’re constantly bombarded, and it’s no wonder men have become women.

This was an excellent article, for sure. We follow one simple rule in our home: if it comes from a bag or a box, it’s not worth eating.

I avoid soy as well for a number or reasons. One of the biggest is it triggers my seizures. Ha! Go figure that one. Soy messes with hormones and throws them out of whack, which for me a hormonal imbalance leads to seizures.

Soy is pervasive. It’s even in tuna packed in water! The tuna isn’t actually in water it’s in a “broth”, a broth made with soy. I was flabbergast when I read the label.

Here’s an online version of the label.

I’m not sure I agree with them on Skim milk. The lack of a few vitamans and essential fats (which you get from plenty of other foods) is more than offset by the fewer calories. For those who spend a lot of time in the gym, skim milk is a great way to get a lot of protein without a lot of calories. Right up there with chicken breasts and salmon.

Sot is great for a qoman... but has negative effects on a man (we lose our balls >.<).

What a site, not only do you have to click one photo at a time, they then make you click on the text next to the photo, to see it in it’s entirety.
