What Soy Products are Good For You?
Soy can be
incredibly healthful, but only if it is organic and properly fermented. After
a long fermentation process, the phytate and "anti-nutrient" levels
of soybeans are reduced, and their beneficial properties become available to
your digestive system. You may have heard that Japanese people live longer
as it's primarily fermented soy that
they consume, like miso, tempeh, natto, and soy sauce.
Tofu comes from the pressed “curds” of the soybean. The rest is thrown out –
and the bad stuff along with it.
