I'm still confused about the whole thing. I'm sad that this is true because I've tried other ways to incorporate protein into my diet because becoming vegan is quite difficult in mastering how to balance a protein diet. I'm glad that I can still use miso, tempeh and soy sauce. Their is seitan that can be eaten as a meat substitute also. Why hasn't the government exposed this information to the public? You would think that the government would want to protect us, but I guess not. It's going to be difficult to convince our American Asian population about this evidence.

This s a very useful information. Eventhough, the author has been careful to say that it is not a medical advice, i think once its the results of research, it is worth noting and probably investigating further before we cause more harm to ourselves.

As a dairy intolerant vegetarian and lifelong consumer of soya products, I read this article with interest. While I find any factual and unbiased scientific evidence against any food informative and useful, this article appears to have been written with a great strength of feeling in regards to vegetarianism, and vegetarians personally. Calling them "virtuous Vegetarians" and stating that "Zinc deficiency can cause a "spacey" feeling that some vegetarians may mistake for the "high" of spiritual enlightenment."

Is certainly bound to raise a few eyebrows in the vegetarian community, and possibly even alienate some of those who would otherwise make good use of the rest of this highly interesting and informative article. I would urge the authors to refrain from insulting vegetarians in future as most of us are not the hippies we are frequently made out to be!

This article confirms what I have read earlier about soy, although some of it seems subjective (like saying that the Japanese who ate tofu looked 5 years older when they were 75-80).

The whole subject reminds me of a Dilbert cartoon where Dogbert offers, for a fee, to get your toxic waste placed onto the food pyramid. The soy industry is likely where the cartoonist got the idea for the joke.

I'd like to know, when did Asians begin consuming tofu and other non-fermented soy products, and why? Hadn't they already found that it wasn't fit to eat unless fermented?
