lin7604

heatherhart

Silverstar46

WHOA.. they sound too good to be true!

Where do you buy them at? Are they at the local grocery store or a special order from online?

Kristin24C

I want to try!!! Where do you purchase them?

Kelp Noodles are excellent as well - few/no calories and great source of minerals. Neutral enough to make with anything - don't involve any cooking.

Whole Foods and Central Market carry them. ( The House Foods brand) I personally did not like the texture the first time I tried them. I'll give the Miracle brand a try!

I got some at Wegmans, in the refrigerated/dairy section near the hummus and cheese, but I haven't tried them yet. The ones I have aren't zero calories... they're about 20 calories per serving.

Here's a question for you: What good are the benefits you mentioned, if the item you are eating [soy] is toxic to the body?

Sunsama

I found them at my local Asian store. Be careful when you make them, you have to rinse them really really well before cooking or they will taste heavily of fish.

crickettm

they are awesome ... fix them in place of any recipe that calls for noodles. VERY few calories (compared to regular pasta) and tastes yummy!!

valerietoxii

I just ordered some a couple weeks ago! I can't wait!!!

Just make sure to do exactly what is on the package directions. Beware: They will smell awful when you open them.......they do not taste that way. Just rinse or boil like it says and they are really good.

rainunrefined

bleh. I've tried these.. and no matter what I do, I cannot handle the texture.

Do you have a citation for that?

So far as I know soy is not toxic to the human body. However it does contain phytoestrogens which can affect the human body in large doses - that's why soy based formulas are supposed to be a last ditch effort to get nutrition into a baby after all non-soy formulas have failed. The extra estrogen can have a hard impact.

Adults would have to eat an extremely large amount of soy to see any sort of issue (granted if you eat a lot of processed foods, this isn't out of the question since almost everything uses soy as a filler).

I get them from a Korean Market in my area and make them in a wok with some mushrooms peppers and onions and shrimp or chicken. I add some sweet chili sauce and BAM! they taste awesome. You do have to rinse WELL in cold water to get the smell off them but once you do that you are good to go.

Here is a pic of what they look like after they are done

I bought some this weekend. Awesome

Fayve

Yahoo, I have two packs of these sitting in my fridge right now, and I'm so glad to hear people speaking fondly of them! Look forward to eating them soon

bevskiwolf

Giant (a large food chain) has them in the section where the Tofu and Soy products are. I have had some success and some failures with them. They do tend to give off a lot of water when you cook them. I suggest you soak them and rinse them well as they are fishy out of the package. Then pan fry them as dry as you can before adding them to your recipes. I made a Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce recipe with them and it was wonderful. But others, like the rice and orzo sized just don't do it for me. It seems the thicker the noodle, the more I like them. You have to experiment with them but if you can get them to where they are dry, they are just like a regular noodle. Good luck!

I am now trying the macaroni and the fettuccine noodles. Still thinking of recipes if anyone has any I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Thanks for the info! I drink Soy milk because for some reason my stomach decides to act up everytime I have milk. Thanks for clearing up how "its bad for you" lol I was nervous for a second!

LorinaLynn

I'm making them for lunch.

I keep hearing how horrible they smell, and I was expecting it to reek like rancid cat breath, but I didn't notice any offensive odor at all.

Maybe it's because I'm making salmon teriyaki, or maybe living with seven cats has raised my nose's threshold for stenches.

Edited to add: Uh... I don't think I'll bother a second time. They taste is ok, but the texture is a little too squid-like for me.

Soy IS Toxic..

The only time of soy that is not toxic is fermented.
...
The 3 most prevalent/common (easiest to find) types of fermented soy are: Soy sauce, Tempeh and Miso.

They do make fermented tofu, but you have to look for it.

Unfermented Soy contains phyto estrogens and cause cancer, reproductive issues, inhibit thyroid function, etc.

Traditionally, asian people eat very little soy - and typically only eat fermented soy.

"It’s only common sense. No one argues, for example, that a leading cause of breast cancer, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, infertility, and low libido is unopposed estrogen, or estrogen dominance. Why, then, would anyone argue that we should consume more of a food high in estrogen?"

"An infant taking the recommended amount of soy formula is consuming a hormone load equivalent of 4 birth control pills a day! Is it any wonder we’ve seen such a dramatic rise in precocious puberty with young girls starting their periods at 6 and 7?"

There's actually a particular length of time for soy detoxing. A while back i read that it was 1 month for every year you were a soy-consumer (ie: 20 years = 20 months). I don't know how true THAT is, but soy is bad news.

"
Another common fallacy is that soy foods couldn't possibly have a downside because Asian cultures eat large quantities of soy every day and consequently remain free of most western diseases. In reality, the people of China, Japan and other Asian countries eat very little soy. The soy industry's own figures show that soy consumption in China, Indonesia, Korea, Japan and Taiwan ranges from 10 to 90 grams per day. That is grams of soy food, not grams of soy protein alone. Compare this with a cup of tofu (250 grams) or soy milk (240 grams). Many Americans and Australians today would be consuming a cup of tofu and a couple of glasses of soy milk every day. They might also add veggie burgers to this, thinking they are getting their much needed protein intake. Infants on soy formula are probably the most disadvantaged, as that is their main source of nutrition and they ingest large amounts of soy relative to their body weight. Often the side effects are not noticed but, as they are growing up, runny noses, frequent colds, irritability, severe sugar cravings and food intolerance develop.

The summary below outlines the adverse effects of unfermented soy products:

* Trypsin inhibitors in soy interfere with protein digestion and may cause pancreatic disorders. In test animals soy containing trypsin inhibitors caused stunted growth.

* Soy phytoestrogens disrupt endocrine function and have the potential to cause infertility and to promote breast cancer in adult women.

* Soy phytoestrogens are potent anti-thyroid agents that cause hypothyroidism and may cause thyroid cancer. In infants, consumption of soy formula has been linked to autoimmune thyroid disease.
Vitamin B12 analogs in soy are not absorbed and actually increase the body's requirement for B12.
Soy foods increase the body's requirement for vitamin D.

* Fragile proteins are denatured during high temperature processing to make soy protein isolate and textured vegetable protein.

* Free glutamic acid or MSG, a potent neurotoxin, is formed during soy food processing and additional amounts are added to many soy foods.

* Soy foods contain high levels of aluminum which is toxic to the nervous system and the kidneys.

In contrast, consuming organic fermented soy products is quite beneficial. Consuming even small amounts of unfermented soy on a regular basis could cause some adverse effects in our body. Next time you consider drinking soy milk; perhaps instead consider oat milk, coconut milk or goat's milk. Some people who are allergic to dairy can tolerate goat milk and goat cheese products in small quantities. Replacing soy and regular milk with these alternatives allow us to enjoy our beverages and cereals without harming our health."


Gotta LOVE that soy.

oh yeah Lol you're safe and sound as long as you keep buying into the myth that soy is this amazing miracle product.

Really wish people would do some research - but it's eh, it's only your health at stake.

Gotta LOVE that soy.

Can you provide an academic source for this information?
I'm not trying to disagree with you, but if soy was known to cause all of these issues there would be a major epidemic of problems sweeping the nation given the amount of times that soy or its byproducts are used as a filler.

I do agree that phytoestrogens cause issues, but its also important to remember that the are NOT human estrogen. They cause some issues, but saying it can cause all of the issues as extra estrogen in the body is misleading.

It's also important to note that most of these issues are only when soy is consumed in extremely large amounts. I don't think anyone is saying to eat an entire pallet's worth of tofu noodles.
