"I love soy and veggie burgers.

"Soy linked to faster brain aging Go slow on soy foods - tofu, miso, veggie burgers, and soy dogs — if you want to hold on to your memory. In light of all the publicity about the health benefits of soy, does this suggestion surprise you? "You should not be comforted by the multitude of voices praising soy foods," says Dr. Lon White, who continues to be concerned about the connection between soy and forgetfulness he discovered over three years ago." - The Editors of FC&A, Unleash the Inner Healing Power of Foods (Get the book.)

"Many of the so-called natural food companies—including some that make veggie burgers or vegetarian foods—now use yeast extract as a standard ingredient to make their boring foods taste better. Even these so-called natural food companies are loading up their foods with chemical taste enhancers that I believe may ultimately harm consumers. Some of these foods have big claims right on the front label that say, "100 percent all-natural ingredients!" Beware of claims about foods being "all natural. "Many of them actually contain chemical taste enhancers." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

In some dietary surveys, researchers found that about 30 percent of the vegetables people consumed were French-fried potatoes. It's important to eat at least three servings of vegetables daily, but French fries don't count. Potatoes are an excellent food and provide complex carbohydrates, a little fiber, and vitamins and minerals, especially when they're eaten with the skin left on, such as baked or boiled." - James Scala Ph.D., 20 Natural Ways to Reduce the Risk of Prostate Cancer : A Mind-Body Approach to Health and Well-Being (Get the book.)

"Also, a typical Burger King outlet sells only 4 or 5 of its allegedly healthier veggie burgers in a day compared to 300 to 500 of any other sandwich or burger on the menu.28 Burgers are more profitable than salads Fast-food chains are faced with unavoidable food-related obstacles when it comes to serving truly healthy alternatives. For example, produce is much harder to store than, say, frozen hamburger patties. Other challenges include standardization and mass production of messy, perishable fruits and vegetables. Such annoyances of nature add up to more complexity and higher costs." - Michele Simon, Appetite for Profit: How the Food Industry Undermines Our Health and How to Fight Back (Get the book.)

"For meatless loaves and veggie burgers, use any of the following to bind the ingredients together: tomato paste, mashed potato, moistened bread crumbs, or rolled oats. For a breakfast dish to replace scrambled eggs, scrambled tofu has become popular. When you see the Menus and Recipes section, you will discover why. Tofu has a texture very much like egg white and takes on the flavor of whatever it is cooked with. Be wary of products promoted as no-cholesterol egg replacements; many are simply egg whites with various added ingredients. 2." - Neal D.

"It also includes the endless array of soy products, from veggie burgers to meatless hot dogs, tofu, tempeh, miso, and every conceivable kind of deli slice. Legumes are hearty, high-protein foods with a remarkably low GL They are rich in calcium, iron, cholesterol-lowering soluble fiber, and even traces of "good" fats—omega-3 fatty acids. Whether you favor a chickpea salad, black bean chili, or a soy-based veggie burger or other meat substitute, legumes are handy, healthy ingredients. The one thing the bean group lacks is good public relations. Its health benefits have gone largely unnoticed." - Neal D.

"Veggie hot dogs, veggie burgers, and veggie sausages debuted in health food stores but are now sold everywhere. Even deli salami, turkey, chicken, and bologna have soy or wheat counterparts that look and taste very much like the real thing, with zero animal fat and cholesterol. These foods are hardly the pinnacle of fine dining, but they are practical. If you have children, they are an absolute gift. If you saw what goes into a real hot dog, it would become the last thing you would want to see heading for your child's mouth." - Neal D.

"I've also discovered some great new products, like the Alexia fries and the California veggie burgers; they are to die for. I bought Boca ground soy burgers, and my husband mixed them with vegetables and bulgur wheat, and it was like an American chop suey—out of sight! I didn't know I wasn't eating meat. And I love the Kashi cereal and the bulgur wheat. There are a lot of foods on this program that I never thought I'd eat, but I love them. "One of the best things about Dr. Katz's program is how I look. I've gotten so many compliments. People say, 'Brenda, you look wonderful." - David L. Katz, Catherine S.

"North American family-style restaurants generally offer at least two or three decent selections, such as stir-fries with rice, veggie burgers with salad, and pasta with vegetable-based sauces. North American or European fine dining restaurants usually have fairly limited options; however, if you call ahead, the chef may be willing to prepare something quite extraordinary. If you are going for fast food, look for a place that offers salads, veggie burgers, baked potatoes, or bean burritos." - Brenda Davis and Tom Barnard, Defeating Diabetes (Get the book.)

"Its lack of gluten renders unripe spelt grain unsuitable for baking, but it is an exceptionally delicious and nutrient-dense hypoallergenic grain for other uses, such as in soups, veggie burgers, or pilafs, or as a flavorful substitute for rice in any dish. Cooking plumps each grain, doubling its volume and transforming it into a barley look-alike, its fiber-rich brown coat yielding to a tender white interior with the savory taste of nuts and wheat. HISTORY Spelt's cultivation is thought to have begun sometime during the mid- to late Neolithic (Stone Age), 6000 to 5000 b.c.e." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book.)

"What they're turning into, increasingly, is veggie burgers, meatless patties that look like meat and cook like meat but are made of plant-based ingredients such as soybeans, oats, rice, mushrooms, onions and other vegetables. Like daffodils in early spring or the first golden leaves of autumn, veggie burgers are a sign of the times—a tip-off that change is in the wind. Their popularity signals a profound shift in American eating habits: A survey by the National Restaurant Association found that more than half of us are eating less red meat than we used to. And a record number of Americans—12." - Selene Y. Craig, Jennifer Haigh, Sari Harrar and the Editors of PREVENTION Magazine Health Books, The Complete Book of Alternative Nutrition (Get the book.)

"They're often stocked near the product they resemble—look for soy-based veggie burgers near the hamburger patties in the frozen foods section. Remember to read labels carefully; meat alternatives vary in nutritional content, and not all soy-based meat alternatives are low in fat. Storage: Store frozen and refrigerated products accordingly. Canned and boxed products can be kept on your pantry shelves if indicated. soy Cheese (CD 2.5) A creamy food made from soymilk, soy cheese is available in many flavors—American, Swiss, pepper jack, provolone, ched-dar, and mozzarella, just to name a few." - Bradley J.

"Mix cooked whole or cracked triticale berries into veggie burgers, nut loaves, or burgers. SAFETY Although the smaller amount of more fragile gluten found in triticale is less likely to cause an allergic reaction than the higher amounts of sturdy gluten found in modern wheat, individuals allergic or sensitive to gluten may find they also have problems tolerating products made from triticale. Triticale contains moderate amounts of oxalate. Individuals with a history of calcium oxalate-containing kidney stones should limit their consumption of this food.

"Although the westernizing of China, Japan and other Asian countries has caused a slight decline in consumption of old-fashioned, whole-food soy products such as miso, tofu and tempeh, it has opened up a potentially huge market for American-style imitation products like soy milk, veggie burgers, chicken substitutes, TVP chili, tofu cheesecake, FRANKENSOY CRY FOR THEE, ARGENTINA In 1997 Argentina became one of the first countries to authorize the use of genetically modified (GM) seed." - Kaayla T.

"It sort of makes you wonder what else they stuff into their veggie burgers and consider to be "100 percent natural" as well. I suppose by their definition, you could add heavy metals like mercury and lead to the recipe, because those occur "naturally" on the planet as well. The most interesting part in all this, though, was in learning that even the employees who work at food manufacturing companies have no clue what's really in their foods. They've been told their products are 100 percent natural, and they just parrot that line to the world, even though it is technically a deception." - Mike Adams, Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases (Get the book.)
