Soy, you think it’s healthy? Tofu, soy milk, soy cheese? Think again. This so-called healthy-alternative to dairy products and other protein-rich foods, is a misnomer with a long history of contradictory research. Did you know that soy, if not processed properly, is toxic for human consumption? Also, the digestive system really doesn’t know what to do with this legume. So, where does it go? More alarmingly, soy is one of the top foods classified to incite allergic reactions; it’s almost as fatal as peanuts in the allergy department. Soy is proven to prevent some cancers; however, it is also proven to promote cancer, especially breast cancer in women and prostrate cancer in men.

And what about dairy? It’s in just about every packaged food product on the market, just like soy. It’s just as difficult for the human body to digest as soy. And, what’s really scary is that both soy and dairy are among the top ten allergens in North America – right up there with the ever-so-well-known allergen, nuts!

So, what can you do? Aren’t you just a little worried now that I’ve mentioned it? I know I am. And, what’s even scarier is that both soy and dairy products are so altered, genetically and through production, that they are no longer pure when used in the food industry.

Well, the good news is: you can eat healthy and delicious and still avoid soy and dairy. Here are five of my recipes to get you started – totally soy and dairy free. Create, eat and enjoy. And, if you want more, check out my cookbook, Still Delicious
