High in tofu vegetarian diet causes dementia, or is it the other way around?

By SN Saturday July 5, 2008

BBC News – July 4, 2008:

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.

Soy products are a major alternative protein source to meat for many people in the developing world.

But soy consumption is also on the increase in the west, where it is often promoted as a “superfood”.

If they are packing the crap in poison why bother to write the article? Sure, eating poison is bad for you brain. Who would have thunk it?

I like beans but you have to draw the line somewhere and tofu seems like a good place to put a line. It tasted as good as a wet paper box.

They left out the part that says most of American tofu is made of Genetically Modified soybeans.
Some frog genes or C2 pesticide with your tofu?

^ Just won the thread.

I never touched Tofu. My opinion of Tofu is when you subtract the “To”.

Or better yet, let’s break that up…
