Tofu: Dangerous Food

Tofu is "food"?!

I have always wanted to try ToFu, i dont think ill bother now.

The dangers of soy have been well documented over the last few decades. As health sites such as Dr. Mercola will tell you, even Asians don't eat soy in huge quantities. And much of what they consume is fermented, which is much healthier. The main danger is for vegetarians who eat lots of tofu, soy-based veggie burgers, fake meats and so forth.

Soy Dangers Summarized

I'm a vegetarian and I eat Tofu regularly, as for it causing cancer... what doesn't supposedly cause cancer? If you eat hamburger you may get mad cow disease, if you eat chicken you may get salmonella, etc...

Or I may get hit by a bus and die long before any of those thing happen at all...

Have fun, life is too short... why sweat the small stuff?

tofu equates to dementia - i am proudly demented

Soy is a food that should only be eaten if organic and fermented. It was soy food manufacturers who started the gab that the crap is good for you.

It does help women stabilize if they are in menopause - but still needs to be used sparingly when symptoms get bad.

Soy -- and peanuts/peanut butter -- are iodine blockers, so too much of it can really mess with your thyroid. Any time you are eating that stuff you should be aware you need to eat something with iodine beforehand to let it get into the thyroid receptors before eating anything to block it out.

So before tofu and other like crap -- make sure to eat a few lobsters!

I've only ever eaten real sugar (sparingly usually with an occasional binge), real butter, and home cooked food instead of instant packaged crap. Lots of cancer control foods, too, like raspberries and tomatoes and citrus and raw milk. I never listen to the media pump on food because it's usually from manufacturer propaganda that even hits doctors........just like sunscreen did.

Unlike Dennis, though -- I don't consider that ahead of my time..........I consider it severely old fashioned. I like my food like it was before the pandemic of disease hit us.

Wow, nice thing that I have always shayed from Tofu. It also doesn’t look tasty at all no matter what everyone else says.

anything in moderation is a-okay. there's theories and research to disprove everything and anything! it's really dependent on how its grown.

for example, eating too many eggs gives you high cholesterol? nah, not if its cage free chickens!

Organically grown foods is the only way to go. I worry more about artificial preservatives, Sulphur Dioxide and Sulfites, BHA and BHT, and all that other crap put into our foods.

On the other hand, maybe if we stuff ourselves long enough with this crap we can survive as long as a box of Twinkies can....forever

LOL, That's Awesome!

That's interesting. I've never been too fond of eating tofu. I didn't even know what kind of food it was until recently.

I like it in miso soup, at least.
