COOKBOOK: Mag Recipe - Take 5
If you only want something light, warm and delicious…..here it is! In my opinion tofu should not be eaten frequently. It contains the 9 essential amino acids which is great but it also contains estrogen-like compounds called isoflavones. Some findings suggest that these compounds could promote the growth of some cancer cells, impair female fertility, and mess with thyroid function.
Do some research if tofu or any other soy based food is your best friend
