0:00.0	Soy isoflatans do attach to estrogen receptors, but then the research didn't turn out to show a higher risk of breast cancer.
0:06.9	It showed a substantially lower risk of breast cancer with soy consumers.
0:11.5	Carbohydrate, it's the fuel for your body. Your whole body, all your cells, they run on glucose, and that's a good thing.
0:17.7	The problem is that their cells are now insulin resistant and they can't take that fuel in anymore.
0:23.6	Eat a ham sandwich, so the fat from the ham,

1:46.8	to be on the show, really honored because he really is a legend in the vegan sphere. So I cannot
