Does soya/tofu play a large part in your diet generally Billy? I was reading online an article about soya consumption in the west . It stated that soya is not the large part of the Chinese diet that we westerners assume. It went on to say that soya milk is drunk only occassionally by mainly the elderly and children and that the major consumption that western vegetarians are engaging in represented a huge experiment as soya has never before been eaten in large quantities as a staple part of the diet.
I was surprised to read this and would be interested to hear if it was true or just hype. The article was basically suggesting that there are huge hidden health risks in overconsumption of soya. If however soya /tofu is a a real mainstay in the Chinese diet then the article holds less water
