Is Tofu Evil?
According to this gentleman, Dr. Merkola, it turns out that Tofu is not the happy go lucky wonder chow we all thought. He suggests that Tofu actually inhibits the digestion of protein, that it leads to an excess of estrogens, and that it causes thyroid problems. Of course, he uses actual medical and biochemical descriptions of all this, so it’s best to hear him describe it himself. Tempeh and other fermented soy foods are fine apparently, it’s just unfermented soy like Tofu that one should shun.
