Soy while pregnant?

Question

I read that eating soy based foods can cause miscarriages? Is that true? Because I’m craving buffalo “chicken” nuggets which are soy based.

Answer

Never heard it before...think about all the Asian countries that consume tons of soy products I highly doubt the pregnant women stop eating it

Answer

Soy products are popular in third-world countries. They’re also healthier than meat because it’s a plant, but not as alkaline as other plant-based foods. Plant-based diets are so healthy for the baby! 💚

Answer

Never heard of that. I consume a ton of soy products myself and have since conception.

Answer

Soy is actually excellent for regulating hormones. Enjoy the buffalo wings! One of my favorites

Answer

I recently read a study showing soy is beneficial for pregnant and breastfeeding women

Answer

I wouldn’t worry about it. I’ve been eating tons of mock meats, soy milk, etc. and feel fine.

Answer

Ate a bunch of tofu and soy milk. On occasion we’d have more processed soy stuff like buffalo wings. But edamame and traditional soy products are good for you! A lot of protein and nutrients.

Answer

I was afraid to eat soy products in my first trimester but I’m 35 weeks now & have had no complications & I eat soy every day so i think it’s okay, I feel comfortable eating it but it never hurts so be extra cautious if you want I guess.

Answer

Non gmo soy products

Answer

I think that's BS. Eating a lot of very processed soy isn't good, but eating it once it a while shouldn't hurt you at all.
You can look up some studies on soy if you like, but the anti-soy pseudoscience is confusing. Soy isn't unhealthy and should absolutely not cause any issues during pregnancy.
