Tho I do love me a Boca burger!<BR/><BR/>A traditional Japanese diet uses much more fermented soy than non - especially miso.

Has there been studies that show it isn't bad for us? I avoid them like the plaque, being a PhD biochemist, everything I know about them is bad news. However, I will admit to not keeping up with the research, so if there is new info that they aren't bad, I'd be interested in knowing that.
