What does it mean when I have different results to soy, tofu, soy yogurt, and soy milk?
- Soy is the primary component of tofu, which means that the soybean is the food item in its most natural format.
- Tofu is a refined food item that is made up of partially soy bean.
- Shop-bought soy milk has a low percentage of soy beans, and also contains water, in addition to fillers and bulking agents.
- Shop-bought soy yogurt contains a low percentage of the soybeans and contains water and gelling agents such as pectin.
It is how each soy item is made up that may cause a sensitivity. Or, if you have a sensitivity to the natural format of soy, then having a lower percentage in soy products may be a better option for you and not cause a sensitivity.
We look at each component's percentage and volume when we test, which can play a varying factor in cellular inflammation.
