I am thinking of going back to being a vegan.?

Question

I have been a vegetarian since I was 9 so it has been 16 years. I was a vegan but only for a few months. I just really love cheese. :-) I am thinking of going back to being a vegan for health reasons and for animal rights purposes. Is there anyone on here who has been a vegan for awhile and tell me what foods they enjoy most and how their health is. Do you have weight problems? Problems with your iron, B12? Have you got pregnant, was it difficult? Ok thanks for your help everyone! BYE

Answer 1

Answer 2

Comment on the soy and cancer part of the question.

Asian women have some of the lowest breast cancer rates of any group in the world, while the rates are highest in countries such as the US.

Much of this has been linked to differences in lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, body weight, and choosing to have children later in life (or not at all).

Ethnicity and national origin are among the strongest known predictors of breast cancer risk, the authors said. These factors are thought to affect a woman's risk even more than those associated with menstrual periods and childbearing.

But breast cancer rates have risen sharply in recent years in some Asian countries such as Japan, where women have adopted more "Westernized" lifestyles. In fact, breast cancer is expected to soon become the most common cancer among women in Japan, the authors said.

It has also been known for some time that the risk of breast cancer increases among generations of Asians who migrate to the US.

They consume a diet with a lot of soy in it
