I understand that Tofu is made from soy bean curd that is coagulated and pressed into blocks and I have had that quite a lot and I do use Quorn as well. I had not heard until this group that they are not goodThe wife and I are vegetarians and we do eat frozen Soy beans and LM sausages and burgers as they are an easy way of getting more protein..
There is a problem with some of it maybe genetically engineered.. It also may cause thyroid or cancer problems ..we have soy less than once a week ..
Don't touch tofu it's a big No No in our home, as is quorn.
This article explains about the possible side effects and studies that have been done.

This is interesting, my daughter is intolerant to all the three and is type 1. She is only 2 and life is quite tricky without these products in her diet. Anybody else???I don't fully understand the biology behind it, but I've seen studies saying that the autoimmune response in diabetes involves a protein which closely resembles the proteins found in milk and soy. Close enough that an immune response to one can lead to an immune response to all three. So if you're diabetic, it may be that you're also allergic to soy or milk -- it might create an inflammation in your gut, or make you constipated (or the opposite), for example. It MIGHT even be that one of those caused your diabetes, but it seems no one's ready to commit to that possibility yet without more evidence.
Does your intolerance influence your bg? It seems to me when our daughter eats one of the triggers she gets uncontrollably high, anything you experienced? ThanksI'm intolerant of soya and whey proteins.
That is terrible, from our experience cutting out soy and dayry at the same time is harsh. Are you cooking enough lentils, beans, chickpeas? I know it is not full diet but a suggestion.Well, that's me stuffed if soy beans are bad for you. Am vegetarian but can't eat much high fat dairy as makes me feel ill. Since being diagnosed with Type 2 and high cholesterol, I've cut out what little cheese I ate and been pretty much living on tofu and vegetables with reduced amounts of wholegrain carbs.

You won't stop eating it will you it seems it is essential for you as you can't eat much fat it must be your main source of protein as it is for many vegetarians. I am not a vegetarian but I like tofu so I will continue to eat it and I use soya milk sometimes in place of normal milk in sauces I like the flavour it gives.Well, that's me stuffed if soy beans are bad for you.
