The Myth of Moderation part 2: Soy

by

I started The Myth of Moderation Posts with Sugar, and now I’d like to show you how much soy the typical American is eating in a single day. This is a mock menu for a single day of eating for a typical American, not including soft drinks, fruit juice, Starbucks or McDonalds stops (which most Americans are making far too often). Most of America is eating more soy than the average Japanese person eats in a day, and in forms that ancient Asian cultures never heard of.

If you’re wondering what is wrong with soy, stay tuned–I’ve got lots more to say about this. 🙂

Scroll through the menu below and look for words in red, these items definitely contain or equal soy. The items in purple may (and probably do) contain soy.

You be the judge, are Americans eating soy in moderation?

It all begins in the gut, but not necessarily yours…

Since embarking on this GAPS Diet adventure, the phrase I have heard most from people has been:

“Well, everything is ok in moderation.”

What most people don’t understand is that if you’re eating the “typical American Diet,” you’re not eating in moderation.

This is a big subject! It will take more than one post to cover this subject, but I want to get you pondering this:

“All disease begins in the gut.”
Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine

ALL disease begins in the gut.

Eczema?

Asthma?

MS?

Chron’s disease?

Arthritis?

Cancer?

Autism?

Autoimmune diseases?
