The soy controversy | Trusted.MD Network http://trusted.md/blog/vreni_gurd/2007/03/24/the_soy_controversy#ixzz11ug9Nw14]
"Like all grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, soybeans have a phytate layer to stop the beans from sprouting unless there is adequate moisture and warmth. The phytate layer in soybeans is much thicker than in other grains and legumes and cannot be eliminated with soaking, sprouting or long slow cooking. This means that soybeans are very difficult to digest, and the phytic acid reduces assimilation of calcium, magnesium copper, iron and zinc."
The Truth:
1) If this were true, then Japan and other Asianic countries would have an extremely high amount of people with osteoporosis because they would NOT get the calcium they needed. They consume more soy per meal then we Westerners consume per day. And, if you are on a typical Scandinavian diet, the Japanese would consume more soy in a typical day, then you would in a typical week.
