The message

I've grown a very small quantity of soy beans as part of an HDRA trial.
I gather though that some doubt has been cast on their healthiness when
eaten as beans (soaked, rapidly boiled etc) , as opposed to being
processed into tofu etc.
I wondered whether anyone had up-to-date information or an opinion on
this. Internet info is varied and confusing.


If it were unsafe, soy flour and soy milk would not be permitted.


Some sources seem to suggest that eaten as beans there is some risk but
processed they are fine.
The risk is perhaps only for pregnant women. I am pleased to say that I
can safely say I have no cause for concern on that front!
