The soy issue is a worry for me as I only have soy milk in my tea and coffee. I don't drink it by the glass, but I just can't stand the taste of milk. This is due to a naturopath putting me on a strict diet of no wheat, dairy, yeast and sugar in 1999 for a period of 6 months. I was a skeleton by the end as it was soo hard to find gluten free products and soy milk in those days. I had shocking hay fever, so I was prepared to do anything!!
It worked and I no longer suffer from hay fever. But I just can't go back to regular milk in my tea and coffee. The good news is that I have cut down on my daily beverages after listening to Cyndi's CD's.
But since I make my own bread, cakes and biscuits, I'm unlikely to be exposed to as much soy as those who buy pre prepared foods.
I used to have only alkaline water, like you kathryn, but the damn water filter (Nikken) took up too much space and the filters were too expensive. I now make do with a filter on our tap.
