Estrogen & Soy
Posted Wednesday, September 22, 2010 at 11:42 PM

I just read that too much soy is not good for post menopausal women because it raises Estrogen levels which can cause breast cancer. Any info. on that??
Also, is carob vegan?

As for carob, yes, it is vegan, but it is NOT a health food! It is most definitely a JUNK food!

FYI for the gluten-free crowd, most carob is NOT GF. It is mostly sweetened with barley malt and as we know, barley is a no-no on a GF diet.
