What fascinates me about soy products is that they are highly manufactured - yet the Health food shops and "natural" foods people promote them like mad. There is less done to milk to convert it into cheese than there is to make a lot of soy products. I hadnt heard about the dementia link, so I must chase that up. There is certainly plenty of concern about feeding soy products to infants and little children, because of the potential effect of the plant oestrogens in them.The Old Foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00766403052971301718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170237.post-75131027649066145282009-02-13T06:29:00.000+10:002009-02-13T06:29:00.000+10:00honestly, this lunch sounds ghastly! traditional f...honestly, this lunch sounds ghastly! traditional fermented soy foods like miso and tempeh are nice and I like them a lot.<BR/><BR/>but unfortunately the manufactured soy protein foods as well as fresh soy foods like tofu and soy milk contain toxins like goitrogens and phytates that can cause health problems in people who eat them more than about once or twice a week. once I heard that unfermented soy foods might be responsible for vascular dementia I stopped eating them very often. tofu once a month or so now and I stay away from soy nuggets and soy cookies and what have you! <BR/><BR/>Mr Ford was a little bit of a nutter about some things...though I suppose using soy as a source for industrial materials isn't so bad. nowadays I wonder if we'd find that it's not environmentally sustainable however.<BR/><BR/>fascinating post, Old Foodie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170237.post-88403781980911580062009-02-11T11:59:00.000+10:002009-02-11T11:59:00.000+10:00That's amazing, Steve.

I wonder how much soy is sneaked into industrial products nowadays, - or is it all diverted to tofu :) (which I guess is a manufactured product anyway, isnt it?)The Old Foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00766403052971301718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170237.post-7620496389953987462009-02-11T11:48:00.000+10:002009-02-11T11:48:00.000+10:00By 1935 each car manufactured by Ford used one bus...By 1935 each car manufactured by Ford used one bushel (60 pounds) of soy, mostly in paint, but including plastic trim parts.srhcbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06007109160584748993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170237.post-78885604344687086712009-02-11T03:05:00.000+10:002009-02-11T03:05:00.000+10:00In Kyoto I ate an all-soy lunch, even the drinks a...In Kyoto I ate an all-soy lunch, even the drinks and desserts were tofu-based.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
