Are Soy Milk, Soy Protein, Tofu, and other Soybean-Based Foods Good For You? Or are They Just Making You Fat and Un-healthy

Only a few decades ago, unfermented soybean foods were considered unfit to eat – even in Asia.  These days, people all over the world have been fooled into thinking that unfermented soy foods like soymilk and soy protein are somehow "health foods".  If they only knew the real truth! The soybean did not serve as a food until the discovery of fermentation techniques, some time during the Chou Dynasty. The first soy foods were fermented products like tempeh, natto, miso and soy sauce. At a later date, possibly in the 2nd century BC, Chinese scientists discovered that a puree of cooked soybeans could be precipitated with calcium sulfate or magnesium sulfate (plaster of Paris or Epsom salts) to make a smooth, pale curd – tofu or bean curd. The use of fermented and precipitated soy products soon spread to other parts of the Orient, notably Japan and Indonesia. Growth-depressant compounds are deactivated during the process of fermentation, so once...

Happy Aquarium Anyone?

It's been a long time since I sat down in front of the first Facebook game I played. I think it was YoVille – back a year or two ago, when everyone kind of joked behind your back when you played these games. Fast Forward to today and everyone is playing at least one of the dozens of Facebook games on the market. My newest love is Happy Aquarium, the original aquarium game from CrowdStar that lets you raise and sell your fish for a nice profit. There are a lot of clones now, but this one is still my favorite because it focuses more intently on things like getting your fish to learn tricks, mate, and grow familiar with you, the owner. I like the sense of camaraderie there – of controlling your fish tank and having pets instead of commodities. That doesn't mean you don't sell your fish off just as frequently, but at least you get to have some fun with them first (and they look so cute). It's a pretty simple game too, as long as you don't want too much o...
