Guest guest Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 I've heard much of a bad rap for soy products yet many of the raw food people use miso. I really enjoy the miso especially the South River Miso products look delicious. Why would the miso be alright to use and the other soy products not be good? Ideas from those who use the miso, please. Thanks, Diana of Dewberry Hill The all-new My – Get yours free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Well, now...that sounds absolutely divine! Think I will. Also why do some say the soy miso isn't healthy? That dandelion leek miso really sounds yummy!

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 mi·so ( P ) Pronunciation Key (ms) n. pl. mi·sos A thick fermented paste made of cooked soybeans, salt, and often rice or barley, and used especially in making soups and sauces. Is this the definition of miso? if so, it's not for me. rawfood , Diana of Dewberry Hill <cozad76078> wrote: > I've heard much of a bad rap for soy products yet many of the raw food people use miso.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 I think miso is better than other soy products because the complex molecules are broken down into more easily assimilable stuff. Protien into amino acids, starches into sugars, etc. I think also that since it's a cultured food, it could be called 'half-raw' in a similar sense as live yoghurt. There's also evidence it can reduce radioactivity and heavy metal toxicity in the body. I started using it years before I went raw. I find it tasty in salad dressings, actually!

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 http://www.mercola.com/article/soy/avoid_soy.htm " Soybeans are high in phytic acid, present in the bran or hulls of all seeds. It's a substance that can block the uptake of essential minerals - calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and especially zinc - in the intestinal tract. " Does anyone disagree with the mercola website's statements (just curious)? Fermented soy (i.e. miso, tempeh) doesn't have phytic acid. Peace...

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Out of curiousity, what happens to the phytic acid in bran/hull when it comes in contact with the hydrochloric in the stomach? Any studies on this? If the phytic acid is broken down from the bran/hull into some other compound, then claim is invalid. tev --- charlie_brush <charlie_brush wrote: > http://www.mercola.com/article/soy/avoid_soy.htm > > " Soybeans are high in phytic acid, present in the > bran or hulls of > all seeds.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Thanks Graeme for the good reply...didn't mean to ream you on the dehydration post. I was just frustrated that I often get negative replies to my questions. You did a great job on this one! Yes, I've heard some really good things about miso. Supposedly the monks in Japan that had been eating the miso did not get the radiation poisoning like the rest of the population did when the A bomb was dropped. But y'all may have heard that story before.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Yes, I've heard something similar, about Japanese families who included miso in the diet as opposed to those who didn't. And don't worry about the dehydrator thing! Love, Graeme rawfood , Diana of Dewberry Hill <cozad76078> wrote: Yes, I've heard some really good things about miso.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 I think this happens to a lot of us. I asked a question about raw vinegar about a week ago and all I got was once response from someone posting about the evils of vinegar. Ah well. It's good to have this list as a resource but in making this " raw journey " you gotta have other sources as well (I since found out that there are several varieties of raw vinegars out there on the market!). swing --- Diana of Dewberry Hill <cozad76078 wrote: >I was just > frustrated that I often get negative replies to my > questions.
