Guest guest Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Having transited from lean meat to soy protein with substantial effort, partly to cut methionin - and now a second study linking tofu to dementia, damn it! Sure, it could be the formaldehyde and not the estrogens, but wouldn't elementary safety indicate not going too heavy on soy? Assuming it's the estrogens that are the culprit, I wonder whether anything can be said about non-tofu soy products....... The study indicates that tempe is OK, Rodney hopes natto is OK and for me it is soy protein (defatted soy beans) - I was just going to buy another 20 kilos from a wholeseller .... hoping I don't have to make a major dietary shift again..... // Ulf Posted by Rodney: It looks like there is now another study suggesting a positive association between some soy products and dementia:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/talking_point/7490202.stmHopefully not for natto? ; ^ ))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Every time that I read how tofu is produced, I wonder whether mankind was meant to eat soybean slurry precipitated with gypsum (plaster of Paris). Why aren't people content with cooking and eating the unprocessed soy beans like any other beans? You could make chili, pork and beans, winnie-beanie casserole, refried beans, bean soup, etc. without all the chemical processing. I think that in our effort to tune up our nutrition, we sometimes use isolated food components instead of whole foods and thus compromise our ability to achieve optimum nutrition. Isolated components should be used only as minor supplements and not as the mainstay of a diet.
