soy sorrow

When I was lowering my cholesterol a few years back (which is still fine, thank you very much), soy was my very good friend. And almonds, and some other things, but especially soy.

Today, I read that soy may be a specious friend. Soy may cause or worsen thyroid disease, including enlarged thyroid (which I definitely have).

Sniff. Do I really have to say goodbye to carrot juice-tofu smoothies? To chocolate soy milk? To - gasp - edamame?

Well, maybe just not all in the same day.

The world does conspire not to make me vegetarian again. Sigh.
