Is there a difference between textured vegetable protein and the isolated soy protein that Dr. McD warns us about? I've been using a LightLife product (sausage) and the ingredients say "textured vegetable protein".
Thanks, Kathy

Susie -
I thought this was recommended for people with blood pressure issues. Or is it for everyone? Can't remember which post I read it in to go check it.
Thanks,
Donna

I'm staying away from the ones that are based around vital wheat gluten. Although this is certainly vegan, I would prefer to use something like beans and rice, as you suggested, that my body would actually benefit from. Like Dr. McD says, "it's not that it's bad for you, it's just neutral. Not bad, not good." I'm still watching the DVD "...disputes major medical treatment", and the more I listen the more motivated I become.
Thanks again, Kathy
