Alana in Canada Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I see a lot of things on supermarket shelves which contain "soy." Then there's soya sauce, soy protein and so on....does it all come from the soy bean? How about tempeh and tofu? All soy, no matter where it comes from is not allowed on the whole 30, I know, so this is just asking for knowledge for knowledges sake. Thought I'd ask since we saw Food, Inc. last night and learned that 98% of the soybean crop is GMO and controlled by Monsanto in the U.S. (and likely here as well). Thanks.

Jo Ferris Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 yes it all comes from the soy bean. tofu is soy bean curd. tempeh is fermented soy beans avoid avoid avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alana in Canada Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 Thank you! I hear you about soy lecithin. It's even in my 70% dark chocolate bar I'm saving for a "pecial occasion." Poot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 It's even in my 70% dark chocolate bar It is possible to find chocolate without soy lecithin (for post whole30 of course). It's worth it to seek it out. d**m soy lecithin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loraine Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 My bar of Lindt 70% cocoa does not contain soy of any kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derval Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 My bar of Lindt 70% cocoa does not contain soy of any kind. Are you sure? asfaik only the 85% and up are the only ones without soya lecithin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alana in Canada Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 Are you sure? asfaik only the 85% and up are the only ones without soya lecithin. Good to know! I still haven't eaten it -- afraid to unleash the sugar dragon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
