Default Is Tofu Safe??

Okay, here's why I'm asking.

I am getting sick to death of chicken and fish is getting very expensive. I can do the vegetarian thing with no problem, but I have to find a source of protein.

I do have my sprouts but I want to make meals with stuff that I like. I do like Tofu, but I heard it might not be that safe to eat.

Last month, when Alan's nurse was here she was telling me about a person she knows who has fibroids. She was eating tofu and they got bigger. She was told to STOP EATING TOFU. They shrunk. I know that Tofu has something called soy isoflavones. It has an estrogen kind of effect on the body.

When I was younger I began to develop fibroids. I was told "they will shrink as you go into menopause" And indeed they did. I have no problems.

But I'm hesitant to start eating Tofu because of what I have heard.

I wouldn't eat it everyday, maybe once a week... I would stir-fry it with some broccoli or make it various ways.

Would once a week present a danger?

Anyone know for sure??

Thanks much.

Melody
