Stop top-posting. Asians don't eat soy in the same forms or in the same
quantities as people in the West are eating now. The Asian diet tends
to have some form of fermented soy, such as soy sauce or tamari or miso,
as a flavoring. Unfermented products like plain tofu (Asians also eat it
fermented) are eaten sparingly. By contrast, Westerners are consuming it
unfermented and in very large quantities.
