I hate that they use it for a filler in EVERYTHING!!! I have PCOS and we should stay away from soy at all cost as it causes us to have HIGH estrogen. I am already looking for fat, carbs, and sugar. Now I am looking for SOY as well. You would be surprised at how much soy is in everything. This is why I had to start making…

Jerky!!! Stay away from the ones with high sugar like Teriyaki but Jerky is a good one, and peanuts as they are lower in good fat, sugar, and carbs.
