Im not a doctor but your extremely restrictive diet and fear of whole foods suggests orthorexia. It STRONGLY suggests orthorexia.


Rice you just soak and rinse to remove traces of arsenic. Soaking and rinsing rice is fairly standard.


Everything else you're demonizing becomes wholesome and nutritous when eaten in moderation balanced with other foods.


Its very concerning to me you don't seem to eat beans, lentils or peas...or tofu or tempeh.  Or nuts and seeds.


Phytoestrogens in soy don't affect humans in any negative way. Hype about tofu is propaganda from the meat and dairy industry which is historically sexist in associations of vegetarians with femininity and meat eating with masculinity. Ironically, in India MEN are more likely to be vegan because it's believed women need dairy due to menstruation and pregnancy - the opposite of Western bias. Mammalian estrogen in dairy is much worse than phytoestrogens in soy.
