Dr. Neal Barnard

Soy is everywhere, as Dr. Neal Barnard of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, says in the Huffington Post.

From faux meats to milk, sure soy might taste great, but are you getting any health benefits from it?

According to Dr. Barnard, evidence points in the direction of “yes,” especially when it comes to the ladies.

For example, soy may help prevent breast cancer in women. This benefit may be greatest if the soy is consume in adolescence when breast tissue is developing.

So moms, don’t forget to have a tofu stir fry with your daughter at the mall when you’re shopping for her first bra.

Soy may also reduce of the risk of recurrence in breast cancer survivors.

Why is soy thought to be a tough competitor to cancer?

Some researchers suspect that an estrogen lookalike compound in the soybean called phytoestrogen binds to a woman’s estrogen receptor in her body, preventing real estrogen from binding and blocking its potentially cancer inducing effects.

“In summary, evidence to date is reassuring,” Dr. Barnard writes. “Soy products may reduce the risk of breast cancer and breast cancer recurrence.

Besides the breasts, other female benefits of soy may include reducing the risk osteoporosis associated fractures and reducing the risk of fibroids.

Can soy benefit the gentleman as well? Learn what Dr. Barnard has to say at the Huffington Post.

Kevin Federline was seen picking up fresh vegetables like cauliflower and tomatoes during a trip to the grocery store.

He chose a much better option than the Cheetos fetish the mother of his children, Britney Spears, claimed to have sworn off.

Is this the good stuff K-Fed picked up in order to help him lose weight on Celebrity Fit Club?

Drew Barrymore says it’s hard to please her on a dinner date because her diet makes her finicky.

“I’m a bit of a picky eater, but that’s because I’m a vegetarian,” she said, according to Contact Music.

But when Drew described her favorite foods as grilled cheese sandwiches, peanut butter sandwiches and macaroni and cheese, it made her seem like any other veggie woman who has to brown bag it everyday for work.

Drew’s favorite foods serve as perfectly good example that eating vegetarian doesn’t mean you’ll have a difficult time shopping for items at the grocery store.

For those that still want to play food diva, there are plenty of ways to jazz up a old fashioned comfort food meal.

PB & J on whole wheat bread or baguette? Why not try almond butter next time?

Jamie Oliver‘s has a new show, Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution, where the Naked Chef travels to different parts of the United States to assess food awareness in Americans.

Jamie makes a stop at a first grade classroom in Virginia to see if children can identify fruits and vegetables.

The preview doesn’t look like the children made the grade with simple vegetables like tomatoes, but first grade is incredibly young to know some of the other complicated produce in Jamie’s basket like “eggplant.”

Children might benefit from learning to incorporate colors on their plates (thus adding green, red peppers or orange carrots), before they distinguish shiitake from maitake.

Watch the Tomato Sneak clip and tuned in to ABC on Friday March 26 to see if you are veg smarter than a first grader.

Jack Hanna On Larry King Live

Larry King hosted Jack Hanna and PETA’s Ingrid Newkirk on Larry King Live, where the two got into a heated debate over whether keeping whales like the one that killed SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau, is safe for humans and animals.

Newkirk said the conditions aren’t ideal for the whales and that they are “swimming in their own diluted urine” and she hopes the company is sued.

Hanna said the benefits of learning about whales outweigh the risks and compared the trainers to astronaunts.

“Larry, didn’t our astronauts go up in the space shuttle and we lost them when they came back? It was a terrible thing. They went back up in space, didn’t they? We want to learn from space and help mankind. That’s what SeaWorld does. These are dangerous animals. This young lady sacrificed her life and would be sitting here today saying she’d do it again for the great work she’s done and SeaWorld has done to educate tens of millions of people over the last years.”

Do you agree with Hanna?

Or is there a better way to educate the public than through marine parks like SeaWorld?
