Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 there was this one soup recipe i used to make with tvp and nutritional yeast, it was really good. it is in the new farm cookbook, dang i need to get another copy of it! mine is falling apart. now i feel weird eating tvp/so much soy but come winter i will have to figure out something to replace the tvp. tvp sounds like something you need to eat while watching tv on your tv tray LOL i am silly tonight;) sanQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 "Dr. McDougall. The past few years he's changed his mind about soy protein isolates and now says they're to be avoided." We (fatfreevegan) had a big discussion about soy, and I came out at the end thinking there was no concern about consuming it (I am one of the people who find is creamy and delicious - I love it). Do you happen to know the Dr's concern?

The past few years he's changed his mind aboutsoy protein isolates and now says they're to be avoided. Since TVP lastspractically forever I still have a lot around the house, in many sizesand flavors, but don't plan on buying any more when these are all gone.That said, it's great to toss a handful of unflavored granules intoexisting chili and stew recipes. In most places where it calls forground beef you can use rehydrated tvp granules.Sue in NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as it was stated that there's a great deal of difference between, for example, edamame (a whole food), tofu (a lightly processed food), and hydrogenated soybean oil (a dangerously processed food), there's also a great difference between all of the above and soy protein isolates such as TVP and soy protein powder. The protein isolates are no longer a whole food, having been thoroughly defatted (the fat going to make soybean oil) and processed in various other ways. When people say " soy is safe " or " soy is dangerous " it's helpful to find out what sort of soy they're discussing because there can be a world of difference. > Do you happen to know the Dr's concern?

Well, you can still have whole food soy on a daily basis, according to Dr. McDougall's findings, just not as the foundation of your diet. Base your diet on beans and whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and add the soy in as a little soy milk on your oatmeal or some tofu in a creamy salad dressing. The impression I got from Dr. McDougall's writing is that soy (in a minimally-processed, close to natural state such as tofu, soy milk, edamame) is fine so long as you treat it like other extra rich components of a vegan diet (avocado, nuts, olives, etc.) and use it as a seasoning rather than a snack or meal.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I sometimes use the Boca crumbly stuff too. Frankly, I haven't used TVP in many years, and hadn't even thought about it until this discussion came up. I used to use it all the time when it was readily available at health food stores. I hate what you said about it tasting like dirt:) Ha! I know TVP may not be a perfect food, but it could be a way of occasionally adding some extra protein to dishes like chili or pasta, and it takes on the flavor of whatever sauce you use. I didn't use it every day, but just for a few specific dishes. I agree with those who dislike the large chunky kind. I much preferred the small crumbles. I think I'll check out the local health food stores and see if anyone still has it around. At present, I add black or kidney beans to dishes for extra protein. But if I had some TVP, I might toss in a half-cup of it too. Thanks to all for mentioning it! , " Jennifer Smith " <oldbones929 wrote: > > I'm definitely not a fan of TVP and I think that things like Morningstar > Crumbles and Boca Meatless Burger are far better tasting.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Does any of the research/recommendations about the healthfulness of tofu mention miso (I love a bowl of hot miso soup!) or tempeh? - Sparrow R Jones Wednesday, June 25, 2008 9:56 PM Re: TVP - funny (low fat vegan) stuff!!

I don't have articles to hand (a quick google should turn several up) but I've seen many folks saying that fermented soy is the healthiest way to eat it.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 I love a hot bowl of miso soup too, but I can't eat it because of its high sodium content. I haven't looked lately, but I remember looking all over for a lower-sodium version and never found it. Please let me know if you run across any. , " Janet Coe Hammond " <janetcoe wrote: > > Does any of the research/recommendations about the healthfulness of tofu mention miso (I love a bowl of hot miso soup!) or tempeh? > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 there is a low sodium miso made here locally in portland, oregon, it is the best miso i have ever had! it makes taking my lunch to work so simple (we have a coffee machine that has a hot water spigot) you could maybe do a google search...good luck! sanQ , " bigoldog " <bigoldog wrote: > > > I love a hot bowl of miso soup too, but I can't eat it because of its > high sodium content.

Traditional soy products, used in traditional ways are just fine. Aly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
