The Trouble with Tofu: Soy and the Brain - Note Moderator's comment, please.

[Guest guest]

[MODERATOR'S COMMENT: Hello there - I'm not given to rejecting messages just

because they don't agree with my way of thinking - but there are a couple of

problems here:

1. This message is one of those 'scare tactics' messages - just look at the

wording!

2. The first link you have given does not lead to the article directly or even

to a synopsis of the article, but requires that one divulge one's email address

and wait to receive something. Not good. I couldn't access your second link.

3. This is not a health list. (OK, a couple means 2, I know, but I couldn't

resist.) We do NOT want to start a debate on this here, but if we must, we must!

 

I could go on, but, what the hey, I will let this onto the list anyway. You can

all make up your own minds. Myself, I think that moderation is called for, alas,

in most things (including the consumption of raw food, if you ask me, but since

this is a *cooking* list, it's obvious I'd think that.)

" Tofu Shrinks Brain! " Not a science fiction scenario, this sobering

soybean revelation is for real. But how did the " poster bean " of the

'90s go wrong? Apparently, in many ways -- none of which bode well for

the brain.

I want to know more about this brain shrinking thing.....I love soymilk, and soy

products, as I cannot drink milk. I tried the link, but I do not want to have to

join something to learn what that is about.

Thank you for your response to this kind of thing. When you look at many of

these anti soy diatribes, they often have support [unofficially, of course] from

the meat industry. Some so go far to try to imply that vegetarianism is

UnAmerican, therefore it goes without saying, if you eat dead criiters you are

patriotic. I have often thought that this comes from certain political factions

in our culture in the US. I know that there are many my community that are

truly offended because I do not eat dead critters.

 

Like most lacto ovo vegetarians, I eat soy in moderation just as I eat milk

products and eat eggs in moderation.

 

Thanks again for your responsible response.

My apologies to all. It was not my intention to start a debate or be

contreversial. I was just trying to share some interesting scientific

facts. I was also not aware that you had to recieve the newsletter to

access the information, as I am already a r. I will try to

insure that my future postings are more acceptable to the members of

this group. So if you will forgive I shall do my best to never let it

happen again.

 

With much humility.........Jerry...aka...eatinraw
