How is it that Eastern cultures have consumed soy for thousands of years and enjoyed health benefits, yet today soy is sometimes considered dangerous? It’s because there are two very different soys: fermented and un-fermented. Let’s quickly examine the differences.

When you take soy, add friendly bacteria, yeast, and mold, the enzymatic reaction produces fermented soy. This is safe and healthy for humans. The soy is now way easier to digest and not harmful.
