Re the avocado and chickpea salad,,it says at end feel free to add tofu..but that is made from soy and earlier you said that soy can cause Graves disease (which it did to me many years ago..and when I stopped all soy products the Graves disease went away.)
Hi Lowana,
We recommend that people with thyroid or autoimmune conditions avoid soy products.
Genetically susceptible people (such as those with autoimmune disease in the family) may also benefit from doing so.
On the other hand, some people tolerate soy well and don’t develop any health problems from it – we are all unique.
It’s great that you discovered that soy was harmful for you and that your health has improved since removing it 🙂
Kind regards,
Louise
