Soy Free
DietThe
soy-free diet is eaten by people who are allergic to soy, one of the
most common food allergies in infants, young children, and adults.
These people are required to eliminate all foods that contain soy or
soy products in order to avoid unpleasant allergic reactions. Most
people who are allergic to soy are allergic to the protein in soy. Soy
oil and soy lecithin pose little risk of causing an allergic reaction
in most, although not all, soy-allergic people because processing
removes almost all the protein.
* Read labels
carefully to determine if a soy product is included and avoid any food
you’re not sure about until you are able to verify that it is soy-free.
* Learn the technical and scientific terms for soy so you can recognize
them on food labels: tofu, edamame, miso, tempeh, momodiglyceride,
textured vegetable protein, soy protein isolate, and so forth.
* Ask at restaurants and at others’
homes to be sure the food you are being served is soy-free.
Best
bets: Look for nonsoy protein sources such as veggie burgers (be
careful to read the label—not all of these will be soy-free), wheat
gluten, seitan, and meat products, and cow’s milk, rice milk, and
almond milk.
