And it is one of the hardest beans to digest! My friend was in accupuncture school, and the whole class tested food allergies. They did this by eating only white rice for a few days, then slowly adding in a new food a day and seeing how their bodies reacted to it. Apparently, 90% of the class was allergic to soy!! I for one cannot tolerate it. It makes me bloated and gassy.... Even Luna Bars mess me up! So just remember, soy is a bean and a hard bean to digest! Also, I notice that a LOT of soy products have A LOT of ingrediants. I try to eat as many "whole foods" as possible. It seems the safest to me on many many levels. Even though some of those products taste awesome (I love fakin' bacon by Morning Star Farms), I don't think they're much better than other processed foods!
