    Hey Bobby, I'm a big fan of your content and appreciate the insights you share. As a naturopathic medicine student, I'd like to offer a bit of clarification regarding your discussion on soy. Just to clear up a common misconception: soy doesn't actually produce estrogen. It contains compounds known as isoflavones, which are a type of phytoestrogen. Phytoestrogens are plant-based and structurally similar to estrogen, but they're not identical to the estrogen our bodies produce.
    These isoflavones, particularly genistein and daidzein, can interact with estrogen receptors in our bodies. Their effects can vary; they might mimic estrogen, which can be beneficial for menopausal women dealing with low estrogen levels, offering relief from symptoms like hot flashes. On the flip side, they can also have anti-estrogenic properties, blocking stronger estrogens, such as those found in various environmental disruptors (like pesticides, plastics, and certain industrial chemicals), from attaching to these receptors. This can potentially reduce the risk of estrogen-dominant health issues, including some types of breast cancer.
    I hope this adds a bit more context to your discussion on soy. It's an interesting topic, especially considering the potential benefits of non-GMO and organic soy products. Keep up the great work!

    Hey, Bobby! Love your videos.
    But I'm pretty sure what you said about soy and phytoestrogens is a myth.
    The phytoestrogens contained in soy are isoflavones, which is a plant compound that can chemically act like estrogen. A primary concern people have is that breast cancer, especially estrogen-positive breast cancer, can grow in the presence of estrogen.
    However, multiple research studies suggest that there is no association between consuming soy and breast cancer, and that soy consumption may even lower the risk of breast cancer.
    Isoflavones have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that have the potential to reduce cancer growth.
    Although it's true that isoflavones have similar chemical properties to estrogen, the compound also has antiestrogen properties, including the ability to block natural estrogens from binding to estrogen receptors and halting estrogen formation in fat tissue.
    There's also another myth about how men shouldn't be consuming soy because it reduces testosterone levels. You guys can research about it.
    There's no need for fear when it comes to consuming soy foods. Just avoid the highly processed soy foods and stick to the whole or minimally processed forms such as edamame, tofu, tempeh, and miso. Also look out for genetically modified soy and avoid that as well...

    • @yasmeenmn
      @yasmeenmn 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +15

      Thank you for pointing this out! Organic and minimally processed sources of soy are actually excellent sources of polyphenols that fight oxidative stress and free radical damage! It's also an easily accessible source of complete protein and linoleic acid. I think its a great choice for folks looking for a more budget-friendly and nutritious option.

    • @brittanyhughes2198

      @@VashonLady Most soy-based foods are processed and most of that soy can be GMO. Also some case studies have shown that to reach that point the soy intake was extremely high, and those cases are insolated cases, where people have processed soy foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner. that is why a balanced diet is important. if we look into different cultures asians have been consuming soybeans for centuries and this soy consumption in Asia has been linked to the low rate of breast and prostate cancer.

I am allergic to many foods and your videos are of great assistance by providing important information about food products .💚

    I'm just going to quit drinking milk. It's frustrating when so many items in the healthy food section aren't even healthy at all. I'm not going to stand around and read labels for hours like a weirdo. It's embarrassing. It's also not convenient. Many items you showed us don't exist in my local grocery stores. Most healthy items are expensive which is another problem.

    You can very easily make your own non dairy milk very cheaply. 1 -2 cups (depending on how thick you want it) of non GMO organic sprouted oats will make 1 litre of rich creamy milk and all you need is a blender and a strainer. Keep the husk and use it to make muffins, cakes or breads so you still get the fibre.

Only negative is mine shows Natural Flavors on the list but overall no gums or emulsifiers so I am satisfied. It isn't the unsweetened one though perhaps that's why I read Natural Flavors on mine but still better than a majority of options.

      One cup of raw almonds soaked overnight in three cups water. Use a nut bag or cheesecloth to drain. The left over almond husks from the bag I dry in oven and make almond flour. I use my Vitamix to mix three cups water and add a teaspoon of vanilla to the almonds and water mixture. If you like it sweeten use a few dates. Mix well and you have your fresh almond milk. I follow Lisa Bryan downshiftolgy . She has these recipes on her sites. Cashew milk you soak raw cashews, water add vanilla and it turns out very creamy. Enjoy!

    I think it’s wonderful that you made an updated video. Thanks Bobby!
    I think that plant-based milks can be great for people who are lactose intolerant or even sensitive to dairy.
    Not all plant-based options are healthy.
    Plant-based milks are also commonly purchased by vegans who want to avoid animal products as well.
    I think it’s also important to know that it’s OK to have animal-based milks if you can tolerate them.
    There are options like organic Valley and Maple Hill that Bobby has mentioned on the channel. Another option that I really like is that more and more stores are carrying A2 milk which comes from Jersey cows.
    Jersey cows make a two beta casein protein which is more digestible for some people. I think you should do an episode on that, Bobby.
    I think what disappoints me most about certain plant-based milk or the stabilizers and sometimes even oils that are added to them to improve the texture. thank you so much for your channel because you really helped with my digestive issues.
    I still have to use medical therapy because I have chronic illness but diet is also important and a lot of times doctors don’t tell you about that. Diet doesn’t necessarily have to prevent you from taking medicine but it definitely improve your quality of life and it will help you take fewer medicines and make it less likely to go to the hospital in the future.

      @bambiaustinconey6048 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I’m lucky to have a small farm store within a 10 minute drive that sells “raw” A2 cows milk. They sell it from a certain local farm in ball glass jars. Learning from Dr Axe and others, raw a2 milk that isn’t heated (even to boiling point for a certain time I think), still contains the digestive enzymes needed to actually digest the milk. The issue for so many people with dairy issues is because of the heat processing of the milk, it destroys the necessary enzymes needed to break down fully for our bodies to digest and assimilate nutrients. I grew up around a lot of farms, it’s common to drink the milk raw, and without all the health concerns. I believe the health concerns with bacteria and such have more to do with the time and travel it takes to go from the farm to the grocery stores to homes.

    I recently switched from dairy-milk to Oatly oat-milk because I thought it was a "healthier" alternative -- but, I have a severe allergy to one thing, and one thing only, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, so I carefully checked the ingredients to be sure it was not listed, and it was not. After drinking about a quart of Oatly daily for three days, I broke out in a painful rash covering half my body, and spent the next week in pain -- but I switched back to dairy-milk and the rash disappeared. I don't know how they avoided listing it -- but my guess is it's in the liquified oats they purchase from an independent supplier, and are therefore able to legally avoid listing it's ingredients in their ingredient list -- they can simply call it "oats." I think Propylene Glycol can be an acceptable ingredient if it improves their product -- but if they believe it's safe, they should list it, and if they do not, then they should not include it in their product. Hiding a potentially harmful ingredient is unethical and inhuman, despite being legal.

      Stop giving your child any milk once they outgrow them. Plant based milk is nothing more than a scam (mostly water and chemicals and titbits of plant like almond). And here's the million dollar shocker: cow's milk is not good for anyone once they pass their milk drinking age. The protein found in cow's milk actually causes cancer (but shhhh... the billion dollar milk industry doesn't want anyone to know this).
