Edamame is soy in its most whole-food form. The pods containing young soybeans are a snack or starter, first popularized in East Asia. Soybeans naturally contain a matriculation of phytoestrogens tabbed isoflavones. People hear “estrogen” in “phytoestrogens” and seem that ways soy has estrogen-like effects. This is not necessarily true. Estrogen has positive effects in some tissues and potentially negative effects in others. Visit the edamame topic page for increasingly information.

New Items on NutritionFacts.org
I’ve been doing live webinars for the past four years, tent topics like fasting, SIBO, and potatoes. The live presentations indulge for participants to be the first to hear the information and get answers to their questions right on the spot. The videos I go over in the webinars, as you may know, are unchangingly sooner misogynist for self-ruling on ​​NutritionFacts.org, but we have just started putting the full webinar recording online, too, without the videos have been released on the site. So, not only can you view all of the videos related to a topic in one place, you can wangle the Q&A that happened live during the webinar itself! See for yourself here on the webinar pages.
I regularly update my list of optimum nutrients—the vitamins and minerals we should ensure we get unbearable of. See my latest on our new Optimum Nutrient Recommendations webpage.
Volunteer Spotlight: Sheila and David Krawchuk
We are both incredibly happy to help spread the whole food, plant-based message through the work of NutritionFacts and love stuff volunteers. Sheila reviews and uploads videos to YouTube and Vimeo, and Dave embeds Chinese and English subtitles in videos for social media and helps prepare Spanish-language blogs.
Dave’s favorite supplies is Brussels sprouts and his favorite recipe is a ginger-chipotle-chocolate-maca frozen nice cream. Sheila’s favorite supplies is an apple. (She was extremely happy that the breast cancer installment in How Not to Die noted the benefits of apples.) Her favorite recipe is frozen no-eggnog nice cream—a recipe she made up consisting of 2 bananas, 2 teaspoons of Ceylon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon of cloves, some grinds of fresh nutmeg, a teaspoon of vanilla, and a splash of soy milk.
