In an attempt to eat better, many people opt to replace farm-fresh eggs and grass-fed meats with tofu, mostly likely because we’ve been “fed” a line by the soy industry that it is a healthier option.

But experts are finding that that’s not the case and, in fact, the opposite is still the better natural food alternative. In particular, tofu is anything but a “healthy” option, so it is advisable that you stick to your common habits and continue eating grass- fed meat, organic eggs and raw dairy industry products.

Western food processors tend to divide soybeans into oil and protein, which is generally unstable and unsafe because it incorporates high pressure, high temperatures, alkali, acid baths and petroleum solvents.
