Clarifications

• Coffee and tea are on both the Eat Primarily and Eat Rarely or Never lists: both coffee and tea contain compounds that provide health benefits; however we recommend minimizing sweetened coffee and tea-based drinks due to concerns about sweeteners and other drink ingredients.
• Soy is also on both the Eat Primarily and Eat Rarely or Never lists: unprocessed organic soy and fermented soy based foods are recommended while processed soy products should be avoided.
