Just finished reading this really great nutrition book and I came across some interesting info on tofu and soy products I thought I'd share. If you do eat tofu its really important to eat some sort of seavegetable (nori, dulse, arame etc) with it as tofu contains a compound that supress thyroid function and the iodine from seaweed helps to balance it out. Also firm and extra firm tofu are alot better than other types. The book recommends eating tofu no more than twice a week and also recommends the use of fermented soy products such as miso and tempeh.
Hopefully some of you will get something from this info... I know I did
