Reply to comment by LenokanBuchanan in Protein quality of soy and the effect of processing: A quantitative review. This quantitative review confirms that the majority of soy products have high protein quality scores. by grandlewis

Always starts with foggy headedness, then cramping, then bloating and "bathroom problems" for the next day or so. If I keep eating things with soy regularly I get eczema on my hands. And I'm actually not sure if I've ever had tempeh!

out of curiosity, do you have this same reaction with other legumes or beans - or peas or split peas?
any peanut allergies?

seriously asking.

on another note:

the main reason these studies are even done (like the one in this review) is because so many anti-vegans think vegans don't get enough protein (which is very ignorant, on so many levels).
they also like to use terms like "soy boy" as a derogatory quip - which is also very ignorant, because the reasons they use that as a taunt has been proven wrong and can easily be countered with facts.

Interesting! I frequently have foggy headed mess and I seem to get GI issues flaring up every time I go on a run. I’ve always thought the foggy head was from my medication, but I am vegan so I eat a lot of soy products. So this whole thing just has me wondering…

I ask about tempeh because it’s fermented soy, which many people report does not cause any of the intolerance reactions of regular soy. It would be interesting to compare the two.
