Comment on Soy Milk is Evil by Anonymous

Anonymous — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:49:35 +0000

I’ve never heard of that before. I was born lactose intolerant and was a vegan in childhood. If it hadn’t been for soya milk as a baby, I could’ve died. I was losing weight rapidly as a baby and starving to death because I couldn’t digest milk, either breast milk or cows / goats etc milk. Until the doctors realised I was lactose intolerent they were at a loss as to why I was so ill and could not feed.

As an adult, though I can tolerate small amounts of lactose now, I drink a lot of soya milk. I’m drinking a glass of soya milk as I type this.

I’ve heard a lot of bad things about soya, but I’ve never suffered anything because of it.

I’m underweight. I have always been underweight. No matter how much I eat I struggle to maintain a healthy weight, even though my breasts are quite large. I’m 5′7.5 tall and my waist is 24 inches, but my bust is a natural DD cup.

When I have stopped drinking / eating soya products I have dramatically lost weight.

I do also make and drink rice milk, but for some reason soyya is the only thing which seems to help me maintain weight.

I’ve had extensive tests and doctors aren’t sure why my body works the way it does, but I don’t know what I’d do without soya.

I think our children get the parents that they need. I’m the opposite of you, with kids so blessed with good health that I hate to even write it down and jinx it, and I who work full time. If they needed me to though, I would quit in a heartbeat. Hoping your daughter stays well.

I’m glad to see your Ok, I was getting concerned also.
Blogging can be so demanding on family time, sometimes you just have to call time-out.
Glad your nesting, and spending some quality tiem with those that matter most.
Hugs,
Jo

That’s HARSH! I can’t imagine the Consort resorting to such measures. Although he does use the cold hands technique.

you have described mine and my daughters life since she was born but so poetically that i now look at our circumstances in a completely different light – THANK-YOU for making me see what was right in front of me all this time – almost 2 years. Your writing is an inspiration!

I love how Susan and Beth, clearly point out “lie” so you can get a screening. Classic abuse of “free” systems.

Good to hear. I was just thinking of sending you an email to check up. Glad you’ve been indulging in some time for yourself.

I know just what you mean – I’ve only put one short post on my blog in the past month, although I must say my reasons are much less positive than yours…

Enjoy life! Enjoy your daughters! Most especially, cuddle up on the couch with that husband of yours every opportunity you get! x
