The only "food" that contains soy products is processed food from the middle aisles of the grocery store.

Stop buying shit in boxes, bags, packets and wrappers.

Yeah, unless you want meat, eggs, dairy. Those animals all eat soy. Not too much a concern if you are just allergic to the soy protein, but if you're also trying to avoid GMOs, forget it.

Didn't know about soy in tea bags that PP mentioned. How bizarre.

After reading about soy lecithin and leaky gut, I'm trying to avoid it. Good bye favorite chocolate.

That was me. I can't remember what flavor it was, but it was Lipton brand.

"Soy lecithin in tea? Yep, it's in there . . .

We wrote a company making some of these teas to see why soy lecithin is in the teas and got a response: "The soy lecithin in our tea keeps the ingredients smoothly blended together and prevents clumping."

While there's nothing wrong with soy lecithin, for many people it's an allergen, a risk of GMO consumption or simply an unwanted addition. If you're one of those folks who are avoiding soy - pay attention to your tea bags."
