Tofu What Now?
Guess what? Eating like a hippie can make you more brain dead than using drugs like one.
Eating high levels of some soy products - including tofu - may raise the risk of memory loss, research suggests.
The study focused on 719 elderly Indonesians living in urban and rural regions of Java.
The researchers found high tofu consumption - at least once a day - was associated with worse memory, particularly among the over-68s.
The Loughborough University-led study features in the journal Dementias and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders.
This might explain a few things. But I think Futurama said it best.
Comments
The one thing we have gotten more than enough of in the last 50 years is lies about food. Despite mountains of research to the contrary, people think that salt, meat, eggs, etc will “kill you”, yet eating a primarily vegetarian diet comprised mostly of carbohydrates is healthy.
Considering that your digestive tract is set up to process cooked meat, and those sharp little teeth you have are suited to the same purpose, you might want to consider more burgers in your life (and getting off your ass more often).
It has been known for a very, very long time that soybeans aren’t safe to eat unless they have been processed to death, and even then in small quantities. Soybeans used to be used for animal feed, so think about that. One of the primary problems with soy is that is comprised of incomplete proteins that aren’t usable by the human body, but they do a great job of being mistaken for ones that are usable. Essentially, tofu is poison…
So, all the Tofu(bean curd) that Japan has been eating since the age of the samuari (and before) is killing japan?
And what if you (gasp) LIKE to eat Tofu, does that mean that you’re a hippy?
Now, I have NO respect for the dolts who eat Tofu-Dogs, Tofu-Cheese, etc. That’s a different matter all together. That’s comparing fine wine to Ripple. But a nice piece of Age Tofu, or just plain fried from a good Thai resturant is good eats. Or some tofu in your stir fry, along with some meat.
Great, now I’m starvin.
The Japanese don’t eat that much tofu, particularly when compared to the modern PETA-tard.
As with all poisons - the dosage is the critical factor.
Not sure what the numbers are, but yes, I’d dare say that the vegans out there eat way more tofu then the average asian. But this was a study of Indonesians, not petards…

I was about to put this up. For some reason, I’m reminded of the Redd Foxx quote: “Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.”
