While I'm not recommending you or your child become a full-fledged vegetarian, you really need to think seriously about the amount of animal protein you and your child ingest, and start looking for other sources of protein that are easier to digest and will compete less with the digestion of fats and carbohydrates - sources that may, in fact, be healthier than meat, given the insecticides, antibiotics, hormones and fertilizers present in most of the meat products we eat. Soy, an excellent protein source, could, I think, provide the answer to many of our nutritional problems, particularly those of children. Soy can literally replace animal proteins in all areas of diet. In the short term, soy is extremely beneficial in that it provides carbohydrates, calcium and fiber. Over the course of a lifetime, there is evidence that soy offers protection against heart disease, osteoporosis and elevated cholesterol. The soybean is a recent addition to our agricultural repertoire. It comes to us from the Far East, where it is considered almost sacred by some Buddhist vegetarians. In America, soy is attracting enormous attention because of its amazing versatility as a healthy, non-meat protein source. Soy has other advantages, too. It's a great source of natural zinc, an element that's proving more and more important to healthy diet. It contains phytoestrogens, an estrogen receptor blocker, especially important since the estrogens found in meats have been connected to prostate and breast cancer. Phytoestrogens in soy can potentially block the effects of these chemicals and hormones providing protection against the carcinogens found in our other food products. Can soy also lessen the potential growth-promoting influences of these hormones? Ongoing research will hopefully give us the answers to these questions.
