Why no soy?
I recently got an e-mail asking why soy has been taking off the OK list. It’s because of the research conducted by my colleague at Union University at www.thewholesoystory.com. Check out Kaylaa Daniel’s work. Her position is that soy is not properly processed in the US and eaten in portions that are too large. I gave it up years ago when I learned of her exhaustive research. You can always test out advice for yourself by giving up a product and seeing if you feel better.

Oh, that wedding cake!
I recently heard two stories about that wedding cake problem! Two people both had stomach/intestinal problems after eating a piece of wedding cake. It’s especially hard at a wedding because that darn cake is in the middle of everything for hours on end! So, pull up your list of benefits on your way to the wedding to remind yourself of why we don’t eat it. Take a piece of muffin with you if you want to join the festivities.
There’s always a way!

Why Do We Slip?
A ‘customer’ wrote in the other day to ask why she’s slipping. There’s a short answer and a long answer. The short answer is the environment. We’re constantly bombarded by cheap availability and advertising. It’s tough. The long answer is that we sometimes fail to maintain our protection against the environment. There are two approaches to developing adequate protection. The first is avoidance of contact with harmful aspects of the food environment. This means the smell, sight, sound, touch, and of course taste of addictive refined foods. The second, and more powerful, is to identify strongly with a food recovery group. The stronger the identification with the group, the more powerful the protection. Check out the volunteer opportunities on the www.sugarsandflours.com webpage to get involved with us. Over the years, I’ve found that volunteering produces the strongest identification with our recovery food plan.
There’s always a solution!
