I happen to be one of the very few here that do not use soy, at all, in anything.........if I can help it. I'm not sure to what extent the estrogenic affects are but I know they are there. I happen to have to avoid soy all together because of the affect on hypothyroidism as it is a goitrogenic. To bad, because there are some great tasting products out there. I use rice or oat or almond beverages and Rice dream ice cream. There is also rice cheese subs. There is no sub for tofu so I avoid it. Here is a tread that was started many months ago. Some of the links may have more about the estrogenic affects.
Annie, as you cut back on soy, if you still notice the tenderness try some OTC progesterone cream. I've used Pro-gest in the past with great success for the same complaint as you have. BTW, I happen to agree with your nutritionist, but then I'm likely one of the only ones on the board that would. (Thank goodness for free speech)
