The only thing I can be sure of now is how much I don’t know and how much none of us truly know about what is best to eat! There is a lot of conflicting advice online about soy, dairy, grains, red meat etc etc ad infinitum. Everyone seems to have an opinion, but also an agenda to push, and sometimes I just feel like everything I eat has a danger, and every alternative I can find has a different danger. It can be really frustrating.
So, after a lot of research and also personal soul searching, I feel that the safest thing for me is to change it up daily, weekly and monthly and listen to my own body's needs. I try to consume the widest range of randomness that I can – that way, I hope, I never consume enough soy/dairy/whatever your poison is to do harm.
I even made a variety list, of every different grain, meat, veg, fruit, legume, dairy, herb, spice, tea that I could think of, and now I look at it each week and try to see what I can introduce to change things up, or what I have maybe been over-consuming. It also keeps my diet fun and diverse, and encourages me to experiment. And that can't be a bad thing/
