Kristine, I'm with you about the soy. But with one exception--apparently tempeh and miso are ok, because they're fermented, and for some reason that makes them safer than the non-fermented soy products.


I think the fermentation reduces the phytate content. Phytates cause poor absorption of many nutrients, thus its label as an "anti-nutrient".

I can't find tempeh or miso. Maybe I'll ask next time I'm at the Asian foods store. It's probably there and just not labelled in English.
