| I try not to eat anything with soy of any form it it. I just think it is bad for you. Unfortunately they put it in many of our processed foods.

Real food is more satisfying, which means you eat less, and only real food boosts metabolism by promoting your body's overall health. Soy worries me. I've read many articles that say the soy health craze started when Asian health and longevity were linked to it. However, Asians don't eat anywhere near as much as what Americans eat, especially now that it is a major ingredient in processed foods.

The only thing that gets me is soy milk, bc of what my dad told me, but I don't know if it's true. He said so many Asians of the old generation only drank soy milk and not cow milk. There's no calcium in soy milk, and that's why Asians are short. Nowadays, of course cow milk is readily available in Asia. When I went to mainland China I was surprised at how tall everyone was. Most girls were about 5'6-5'8" towered over me (I'm 5'2"). But Asian girls in the US are still pretty short. Isn't that weird!

| Yup, I totally agree with you that some of these foods are definitely overrated. To me, Super foods are the ones that have maximum nutrition per calorie. Nutrition is a general term, including vitamins, minerals, protein, fibre, and, yes, antioxidants. Speaking of antioxidants, while many use this term as a marketing tool, the theory is real and it's proof has been collected in numerous studies, including epidemiological. For example, you could read Dr. Russell Blaylock's website and books. He is a neurosurgeon who spent all his life operating on people brains and collecting medical information that led him to believe in connection between nutrition and health - antioxidant explanation included. He recommends antioxidants to the patients before surgery due to huge release of free radicals during and after it. He has data. And so do many other researchers. Anyway, whether you believe in it or not, eat your greens for the multitude of health benefits. Speaking of Super foods to boost immunity, you want to stick to the whole unprocessed foods; top source of vitamins and minerals would be sprouts and greens, vegetables and grains. |

(I know this is older but since it has been commented on recently...) I have hashimotos thyroiditis which is a form of hypothyroidism. Not only do I not make enough hormone but my body attacks what is made. Soy is absolutely off the list of things to have so I can't eat it OR drink it which is so sad cuz, gross or not, I used to love me some bacon bits!!!!! | |

I feel like the schools should do more in teaching about foods. Most of the pop education we are given gives us one popular side of a food, and most people see that as the fact.

| What might be OK for some is not always OK for others. The USDA recommends no more than 300mg of cholesteral per day. One egg yolk contains about 180mg so 1 whole egg is not bad for most people. But I am on a low cholesteral diet so that one yolk is more than I am allowed. So for me egg whites are healthier. I make my omelletes with egg whites only.

But like I said, all the girls in China were SO much taller than me! Everyone that was young was at least 5'6". Over here it's rare that an Asian girl is that tall.
