Nifty note: Soy turns into Estrogen! Kind of... Soy has properties called phytoestrogens which is estrogen LIKE but derived from a plant. I'm kind of excited! When we were at chemotherapy there was a gal who came for a port flush and we ladies started discussing cramps and, well you know, girly things. She mentioned that her cramps were getting so severe that she almost couldn't function. And there really wasn't alot that could be done for her because of drug interactions. She spoke to her doctor who said Estrogen would help and that she should try drinking soy milk to get the phytoestrogen from it. She said it helped immensely! As I get older, my cramps are really severe, and so is my PMS. I know it's not discussed very often, but I'm buying soy milk as soon as I'm off work. If it will help alleviate that kind of pain, I'm for it.
Okay, Jeremy, I know this doesn't really pertain to you, cause you're a guy, so I'm sorry about the girly content. I tried to be delicate for you! :)
For those of you who don't know, Jeremy is my best friend and he reads my blog as I read his. As of now, we have no secrets. :)
Regards, Jen
