    "wunder-food". But more recent studies seem to indicate an increasing
    probability that the phytoestrogens they contain are an emerging problem for
    women--as well as men.

    There is little nutrition in them that can't be found in sources that have
    less phytoestrogens. I mean, how many should I let my wife eat until they
    become an issue for her? Since I found no other persuasive evidence that
    they're needed by the human nutrition requirements that we have, I simply
    chose not to take that chance. Besides their ability to mimic natural
    estrogens with unknown long-term effects, soy products are being linked with
    kidney stones, weakened immune systems, food allergies, and thyroid
    disorders. And no, I'm not some kind of "alarmist" that runs from studies
    that simply 'link' things...but I do accord them more attention. After all,
    if you look long enough you can find some study that justifies just about
    anything you can name...

    Your typical soy bean is the vehicle for a soup of toxic products, along
    with phytates, that are not destroyed even by a long cooking session. The
    ingestion of phytates will interrupt your body's ability to absorb various
    minerals such as: calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, and zinc. Soy beans
    also contain a material called haemagglutin. In the human body it causes
    red corpuscles to stick together and causes a slowing of oxygen uptake. And
    along with the trypsin inhibitors also found therein, it can it can even
    inhibit growth.

    The only research that I've been able to find regarding the ingestion of soy
    found that the sprouted forms soy, such as: direct sprouts, miso, natto, and
    tempeh are the only forms of soy that can be safely eaten with some health
    benefits. That means that all of the other various processed forms: soy
    milk, soy burgers, soy cheese, and soy ice-cream should be avoided like the
    plague.

    There are a 100 or more research publications that have taken great pains
    (not to mention the slings & arrows of the Soy industry). Among them: The
    Lancet and the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Ya might wanna hunt
    them down and see what they have to say.

    Ever eat "Whey protein?" (powders, bars, supplements, shakes, etc.) Much
    like the whey protein, soy protein was originally an industrial waste. In
    order to "process it", high temperatures are needed. This alone makes it
    suspect as having "food value".

    The oft touted reputation of soy products as being low-fat, anti-cancer,
    anti-viral, anti-osteoporosis, all the while being a staunch cholesterol
    fighter, is based on bad science and an outstanding job by the soy industry
    at marketing their product.

    My advice? If you can eat a soy bean, you can just as well eat a kidney,
    navy, white, black, or pinto bean... But hey! That's just me... You can
    of course do as you each wish.

    Later all,
    Dusty

    Huh? Do you see me "dictating" by what I said? I don't! But I do
    recommend and suggest. And, since she & I *do* talk, and since over the
    years she & I have found out that I usually know what I'm talking about, she
    won't eat something if I explain why not to eat it...

    I also do all of the cooking around this place, so I get to decide what gets

    I also don't buy into the fiber nonsense. Inuits and Eskimos ate very
    little fibrous plant material

    They ate whatever plant matter they could in season, but yes, their diet
    was generally low carb. Their higher fat diet would also help with being
    regular.

    Quoted message said:

    and they were extremely healthy.

    They had a hard life which was often detrimental to health and/or life
    span. They likely didn't suffer from metabolic diseases as we do, or didn't
    live long enough for things like cancer to develop.

    Quoted message said:

    Has
    anyone considered the silliness of juicing. In a world where we are
    supposed to be fiber-deprived, we buy hundred dollar juicers and we
    throw away the pulp, you know the fiber? Then we buy packets of fibre
    that we can mix in water to drink down. Or fiber tablets.

    You're right on the money here. Refined products seem to be stripped of
    vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Then they either "fortify" food, or sell the
    missing elements to you in bottles. 'Doesn't make any sense to me.

    Well, you are the one who used the word "let" as in "how many should I let
    my wife eat". That implies that you have control over what she eats and in
    control, there is permission.

  7. What bothers me about the quotes included is that it doesn't speak to the
    health or lack of health of the Asian populations who have been eating
    copious amounts of soy for years. it seems to me that there is a
    "laboratory" there instead of just speculations.

    I like 'em! :-)
    And I like my own prepared from dry a bit better than the can as I seem
    to be able to get them more tender.

    They are easy to use and very satisfying.

    Enjoy!

    People make the whole business about beans so complicated. Canned beans
    are what the manufacturer gives you and there's not much you can do with
    them beyond cooking them more. Flavors won't penetrate them very much.

    Dry beans give you more opportunity for variations in texture and
    flavors. Soaking isn't necessary. They'll cook wonderfully without all
    that pre-prep business. Since they're not starchy and don't have all
    those oligosaccharides that create music, there's really no benefit in
    the soak. As with all beans, hard water will keep beans hard in the
    cooking.

    I have very hard water.
    I live in Texas and all of my water comes from underground limestone
    caves. ;-)

    Believe me, a pre-soak is totally necessary here and makes a DRASTIC
    difference. I've tried it both ways or I'd not have posted that.

    Start them in enough water to cover by an inch or more, and whatever

    Testing for doneness is simple. Pick up a few beans in a spoon, drain
    any liquid and blow on them. The skin will break and peel back when
    they're done.

    Pastorio

    They gotta be soft to the tooth.

    Since I pressure cook them, testing them is not an option.
    20 minutes makes perfect beans everytime, with a pre-soak.

    YMMV.

    Black soy beans are _low_ carb.
    That's the entire point of posting them on this list.

    I'd suggest you read their breakdown.

    Nobody is advocating a high carb item here.

  12. "Black soy beans are _low_ carb.
    That's the entire point of posting them on this list.
    I'd suggest you read their breakdown."

    Om,

    I'm with you on this one. I study & read the articles &
    read labels very very carefully. It was this group's thread
    about black soybeans a long while ago that got me looking
    for them as a nice change from eating no black beans,
    navy beans, white soybeans, etc., thanks to having
    diabetes type 2 & wanting to control it very well while
    still missing those protein-packed beans.

    My town has no dried black soybeans & barely has the
    canned ones--only in one store. Of course I could order
    a huge bagload of the dried variety online, but then, ha,
    they'd grow old. So I compromise about what I'd like to
    cook as a from-scratch gal. Have found that, if I make
    whatever "stew" it is a day ahead, those stubborn little
    black beans do soak up flavor, eventually. They freeze
    after cooking well, also.

    Because I'm not sure of just how bad or good for me they
    are, they're a once every 2 weeks or so treat in, hmmm,
    would not dare to call it "chili" here--how about black
    soybean & meat spicy stew? Don't have thyroid issues,
    so that is not an issue. I understand how those who do
    would have to be more worried about possibilities of
    adding it in.

    My blood sugar meter tells me that they don't spike me
    at all as long as I don't stuff myself sick w/some 4-serving
    or so bowl of delight. My definition of an unacceptable
    spike is over 130 after an hour, so that's conservative.
    Nothing like a blood sugar meter & your own body to
    figure out what is low carb for one's own body.

    My bad--because I've also found frozen from-the-pod
    edamame (whiter soybeans), & they work okay too,
    when in a bowl w/a bit of lemon juice, olive oil, salt,
    & some ham or cheese or (aw-oh} tofu.

    <LOL> You have the logical skills of a nematode. Sweeping aside your
    UFO/conspiracy theory/wacko approach to nutrition somehow forces you to
    post twaddle like this as a - who knows - redemption,maybe? And we see
    more innuendo and inference with no support. As usual.

    My comments about the whole zero-IQ post about soybeans seem to make it
    mandatory that you flail your arms and gush like this. Your post was
    filled with wacko nonsense and a decidedly anti-scientific tone. Your
    post was so off the wall as to simply not warrant reply to the
    individual blunders and woo-woo, emotionally loaded diatribe.

    Note that the post included nothing about the - literally - billions of
    people around the world who eat soybeans daily and even more than once
    daily. That shallow polemic condemning a commonly eaten food by so many
    people for so long just looks ridiculous on the face of it, given the
    empirical evidence for and against it.

    The whole reason for posting about black soybeans here is that they're
    low-carb. Extremely low-carb, at that. You don't seem to know that. They
    don't cause flatulence; you don't seem to know that. They cook in less
    time than most beans and you don't seem to know that. They don't need to
    be soaked and you don't seem to know that.

    Quoted message said:

    OTOH; typical of your posts, I didn't see so much as a single
    syllable of refutation or "correction".

    That would be because of your crippled reading skills and because you
    didn't want to see what I posted to tunderbar. But you can look back up
    to my previous paragraph and find lots of "refutations and corrections"
    for that horseshit.

    But when you post ignoramus [censored] like:
    "I mean, how many should I let my wife eat until they become an issue
    for her? Since I found no other persuasive evidence that they're needed
    by the human nutrition requirements that we have, I simply chose not to
    take that chance."
    .... it calls into question a whole lot about what you are and what you
    think you know. The whole issue of "let my wife eat..." is beyond
    criticism. It's stupid on the face of it. You give your wife permission?
    And finding "persuasive evidence that they're needed by the human
    nutrition requirements that we have" is a non sequitur. A meaningless
    statement unsalvageable by any squirm-words. You won't find such
    evidence for finished foods at all. You'll find evidence for fats and
    protein (not carbs), vitamins and trace elements. Period.

    I also liked the even-handed explanation:
    "Your typical soy bean is the vehicle for a soup of toxic products,
    along with phytates, that are not destroyed even by a long cooking
    session." "Soup of toxic products..." <LOL> Oh, sure. I take hyped-up
    stuff like that seriously.

    Oh, look. Another person with the education of a chimp getting all up in
    the air because I write words with more than one syllable.

    But it really is kinda funny watching Rusty going off on everybody
    because we're ignorant and ill-informed and blindly cilnging to a boat
    and eating it. Or something.

    Read science books and lose the ones that come with crayons. Have a
    bourbon. It'll help with the anxiety.

    Or you can split a 25-pound bag with maybe 4 or 5 other like-minded
    people. For $47 you get 25 pounds of beans - $1.87 a pound.

    Excellent suggestion, & I don't mean that ironically. Hope some folks
    who can share will do this bean sharing. There is no one here in my
    milieu who is even doing low carb, no declared type 2 diabetics (but
    plenty who say to me, "How did you get in shape?" & some who have
    said their doctors have said their BG's are "too high" but don't know
    what their numbers are, sigh).

    In my freezer now:
    1 bag of many-colored sweet peppers, 3 bags of broccoli, 2 bags
    of half-used spinach (mostly use fresh), 1 container of homemade
    chicken broth, 1 of homemade asparagus soup, 3 bags of frozen
    berries to use sparingly when BG numbers are cool, some edamame
    (oh no! they might be poison), 8 separate turkey keilbasa sausage
    lunch-type portions (grilled) for lettuce wraps, some cauliflower I'm
    still wishing would taste good to me for faux potatoes (dream on),
    old cooked ground turkey to use someday, 2 batches of a homemade
    cool lentil soup, 1 tiny bowl of a great red pepper dip/sauce
    (also homemade), 1 pint of a locally made sorbet to feed a daughter
    who visited but didn't eat it....& more in that freezer, but it was a
    hoot to take a look there tonight.

    Oh--the frozen bag of corn i used on my aching neck last night, after
    my visiting daughter didn't eat it, is no longer there.

    Anyway, just having fun w/my freezer contents made me think of
    starting a thread w/"What's in your freezer today?" No room right
    now for black soybeans, so the canned, for now, will have to do.

    I live in Hawaii, where white rice rules, as do desserts, and posting
    on any site means one is way earlier or way later than the talk fest
    at prime-time hours, so that's why I don't get into the thick of it
    much & help enough, but am just dipping my toes in the water to
    see if it's okay just to post.

    In my freezer now:
    1 bag of many-colored sweet peppers, 3 bags of broccoli, 2 bags
    of half-used spinach (mostly use fresh), 1 container of homemade
    chicken broth, 1 of homemade asparagus soup, 3 bags of frozen
    berries to use sparingly when BG numbers are cool, some edamame
    (oh no! they might be poison),

    You have only minutes to live from ingesting those soybeans. The Chinese
    used to eat them. That's why they're all gone now. Same for the
    Japanese. And Indians; you know, from India. Don't even get me started
    on lentils... That's why all those formerly great civilizations are just
    distant memories; the people all departed. <sob>

    8 separate turkey keilbasa sausage
    lunch-type portions (grilled) for lettuce wraps, some cauliflower I'm
    still wishing would taste good to me for faux potatoes (dream on),

    Cook the cauliflower to a tender state and mash. I nuke mine with no
    added water in a mike-safe container covered with plastic wrap. No
    moisture to squeeze out or drain or fiddle with at all - and don't throw
    away the stems. Peel and chop coarsely. Cook - takes anywhere from about
    10 minutes on up in my machine; YMMV. Try this for a truly spectacular
    result:

    4 cups well-mashed cauliflower, still hot
    1/4 cup butter
    2 egg yolks, beaten
    dash dry mustard
    tablespoon corn starch
    1 whole egg, beaten
    Heat oven to 400°F. Combine everything except the whole egg, mixing
    well, and either shape the mixture into flat cakes on a floured board or
    counter, brush on the egg, and bake on a buttered or non-stick cookie
    sheet until golden. Or pipe into rosettes and brush with egg and bake as
    above. Serve immediately.

    I've lately been using my potato ricer to mash things. Nice result.

    old cooked ground turkey to use someday,

    Combine with egg, a little TVP and flavor stuff for a meatloaf.

    2 batches of a homemade
    cool lentil soup, 1 tiny bowl of a great red pepper dip/sauce
    (also homemade), 1 pint of a locally made sorbet to feed a daughter
    who visited but didn't eat it....& more in that freezer, but it was a
    hoot to take a look there tonight.

    Anyway, just having fun w/my freezer contents made me think of
    starting a thread w/"What's in your freezer today?" No room right
    now for black soybeans, so the canned, for now, will have to do.

    I live in Hawaii, where white rice rules,

    I just bet you can find black soy beans in Chinese groceries there.
    Definitely worth a try. They've been using them for fermented black
    beans for a zillion years.

  18. And where the heck do you live that you are still up HST
    civilized time?

    Forget it about cauliflower. I eat it fresh or not at all. I found
    a recipe for cooking radishes (which I could never stomach in
    more than tiny slices) that eliminates that radishy flavor, so
    I make my own mashed radishes. They're pinkish, but they
    satisfy my urge for mashed potatoes. Still, it's not something
    I can even suggest to a group because, well, they're pretty
    weird, all in all. No amount of cheese, spices, or cream help
    out w/cauliflower for me. They still taste too sweet. But if
    I'm only pleasing myself, & not a whole family like so many
    have to do here, I can burrow in & chow down on the craziest
    tiny mashed radishes w/cheese & spices dish. This is way too
    YMMV, & radishes are way too pricey to use like this--I admit
    that. I'll look for the soybeans at an asian market (3 blocks
    away) but would sooner enjoy allowing myself the canned
    variety as a "get out of jail free" card.

    Good morning, all of you asleep for this.

    Must there always be a post like this when someone mentions chili and beans?
    I personally like my chilli both ways and if you want to argue that one way
    ain't chili, fine. Ain't gonna stop me.....

    Let's ammend.

    Have beans in your chili stew. Have tomatos too. Just don't call it
    chili.

    It's like I tell my wife, the food philistine. St. Louis style pizza
    (thin crust, no crust at the margin, sweet sauce, provel cheese, cut
    into squares) isn't a bad product. It's just not really pizza.

    OTOH, I like modern art, including blank canvases that are called
    paintings ;-)

    -Hollywood, who says, eat your beany chili stew, just don't sit near me
    with it. PU.

    Sorry, but I will call it chili if I made it to taste like chili. You're
    welcome to call it chili stew, but not in my house at my table eating my
    food off my plates . Deal with it.

    In your opinion. Fine, really.
