Soy Products:
Soy products are not necessarily the great protein product, that we have been lead to believe. We have been told that Okinawans consume a lot of soy and they live long lives and enjoy better health, than westerners in general. This is just not true. Okinawans in general eat about one to three ounces of soy per day. Much of this soy, such as miso is fermented, which is not as problematic as the soy products that we eat, in the western world.
