Guest guest Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 The beneficial bacteria in miso clear the intestinal fermentation produced by a number of foods. Miso soup works better than yoghurt. Meat takes 5 days to eliminate and putrefies in the gut. Vegetarian food passes in 24-36 hours. This is the real source of the vegetarian advantage and it gives a more positive outlook and attitude. Miso and wakame seaweed in soup also clear alcohol, tobacco, drugs, automotive pollutants and radioactivity. Source: Soybean Diet by Herman Aihara. Rice and miso soup give a huge advantage over those eating burgers and fries. I'll show you how to make it next time.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Are you saying that whenever we eat any kind of red meat it stays in our gut for 5 days? Why does it stay that long?

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009   Miso can be bought in dried powder form -in little sachets from health food stores--if you have gas -check your diet as well-drink lots of water-coffee can upset digestion and form gas- also beans etc -if you have this problem periodically-take note of your diet-- and yes meat is difficult to digest- so eat less of it if you are a big meat eater.-   Miso soup From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Miso soup (with Tofu, Wakame and Scallion). Miso soup (味噌æ±, miso shiru?) is a traditional Japanese soup consisting of a stock called " dashi " into which is mixed softened miso paste. Although the suspension of miso paste into dashi is the only characteristic that actually defines miso soup, many other ingredients are added depending on regional and seasonal recipes, and personal preference. Contents[hide] 1 Miso paste 2 Stock 3 Solid ingredients 4 Preparation and serving 4.1 Instant miso soup 4.2 Wappani 5 Health benefits 6 References 7 External links // [edit] Miso paste Main article: Miso The choice of miso paste for the soup defines a great deal of its character and flavor. Most miso pastes can be categorized into red (akamiso), white (shiromiso), or black (kuromiso), with darker pastes having a heartier, saltier flavor. There are many variations within these themes, including regional variations, such as Sendai miso; pastes designed to be used with specific misoshiru ingredients, such as yasaimiso, a white miso for use with miso-vegetable soup; and seasonal variations. [edit] Stock Main article: Dashi The most common dashi soup stocks for miso soup are made of niboshi (dried baby sardines), kombu (dried kelp), katsuobushi (thin shavings of dried and smoked bonito, aka skipjack tuna), or hoshi-shiitake (dried shiitake mushrooms). The kombu can also be used in combination with katsuobushi or hoshi-shiitake. The kelp and/or shiitake dashi serve as a vegetarian soup stock. Outside of Japan, American or European style miso soup is sometimes made by dissolving miso in a Western vegetable stock. The stock might include ingredients such as negi, carrot, potato and daikon radish. In some versions of the dish chicken stock, Western-style fish stock, and other non-dashi bases can even be used, but there is some debate over whether or not miso soups made using these non-traditional bases count as true misoshiru. Christian Japanese refugees who came to the Philippines during the Edo period brought along miso soup, but the Filipino recipe differs mainly by the inclusion of tamarind, which gives it a more sour taste than the original Japanese version.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Yes, Stephen is correct - any meat stays in your digestive system for around 5 days and it rots and putrefies in there. Humans were not meant to eat meat, that's why we have such a long digestive system - unlike carnivores who have a very short intestinal tract where meat goes through quickly. Miso is fermented soybeans. That's the only kind of good soy -- if it is fermented, such as miso or tempeh.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Hi- Thank you for asking. I didn't say " red " meat. I said " meat " . Nobel Prize winner N. Metchnikoff attributed the source of disease and premature aging to toxic bacteria that propagate in the intestine. Meat is tough to digest and triples the load on the kidneys. It also leaves cystlike deposits in the kidneys which are often a problem for older people. The food industry and the doctors would rather make money off you than tell you this. To be fair, the National Cancer Institute did note that regular consumption of miso soup reduces breast cancer risk by half. Source: flyer in Miso Master miso. A couple of years ago the AMA came out in support of vegetarian diets- we just never hear about it. Don't let anyone tell you there's no vitamin B-12 in vegetarian diets- B-12 is present in both miso and seaweed. Miso is a fermented food made from soybeans and grains inoculated with a beneficial microorganism (aspergillus oryzae) and aged 2-3 years in a crock. The Japanese cultivated specific strains of bacteria for use in food several centuries before the western world 'discovered' bacillus Koch (1880). Other Asian cultures also produce a variety of fermented foods that aid the digestion and assimilation of whole grains. When I learned Macrobiotics (1981) I abandoned the foods my mother taught me to eat without looking back. Recommended reading: Book of Miso by Shurtleff and Aoyagi, Macrobiotic writers especially George Ohsawa, Noboru Muramoto, Michio Kushi and Herman Aihara.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Hi- Final thoughts on miso. Outside of Japan there is a tendency to take a casual approach or use the same condescension to public taste that creates an inferior product- such as '365' brand miso soup. I learned about it from the Macrobiotic teachers who passed on the Meiji era tradition. We shouldn't respect tradition for its own sake, but if the tradition is a complex and subtle herbal formula, there is a danger of the potential benefits being lost by intuitive meddling. The same is also true of the Chinese herbal formulas. Here is the authentic recipe with its constants and variables. Soup stock or 'dashi': wash and soak a 6 " length of kombu (laminaria seaweed) in a gallon of water, remove and use for soup, cooking and tea. Kombu normalizes blood pressure and shrinks tumors. Some fish eaters add shaved bonito but the Zen tradition is vegan. Wakame or alaria seaweed is customary. It is the best plant source of assimilable calcium (specific for thumb sucking) and other vitamins and minerals Soak 15 minutes and drain. Cook in the pot with your choice of vegetables and/or noodles. Mix a heaping teaspoon of miso with enough water to make a smooth sauce. Do not add to the pot until after the cooked ingredients have cooled to below 120 degrees as higher temperatures kill the beneficial bacteria. Brown rice, barley, and hatcho misos are the most biologically active. Lighter varieties (Shiro miso- almost always found in restaurants) have a sweeter taste and are less active. Some recommended vegetable combinations (from Soybean Diet by H. Aihara): combine a root vegetable with a green one , e.g. squash and green onion, spinach or cabbage or chard and daikon. Miso tradition is broad and rich and any study of it brings rich rewards Stephen Jared ND Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hi, There was a piece on gas on Good Morning America last week by Dr. Oz. You might look it up on their site. One of the causes is allergic reaction to wheat gluten. Broccoli and brassicas cause gas and such too. Living Without is a web site that gives lots of recipes. I have been toying with this for awhile but am not getting very good results with bread yet. Gluten is in many products in small quantities too-buillion, vanilla, and possibly chocolate chips. It is a lot of work to remove gluten but many have done so and stores are beginning to sell gluten free Corn and Rice Chex and some pasta. Give it a try. ________________________________ algaelady1 <carol Mon, October 12, 2009 9:07:58 AM Re: Gas- Help Please Yes, Stephen is correct - any meat stays in your digestive system for around 5 days and it rots and putrefies in there.

Thank you for that. It's nice to know some of the details of how it is made. I can't add anything other than the brief note that my Japanese wife (and in-laws) made a big fuss about miso as we travelled around Japan in the past. It seemed to me that every town had its own 'speciality' type of miso and my wife and in-laws got so excited as they tasted (and sometimes bought) them. It's a pity we don't have things like that while travelling around the UK; we do have traditional dishes in different areas (going back several hundred years), but, in my view, they are often very unhealthy. I wonder *why* Japanese food is so much healthier than, say, British food. What part of their culture made it work for them, so to speak?
