So, heating soy solves the problem? You reckon there are soy-based burgers that aren't heated? I don't think I've ever eaten an uncooked burger of any sort.

  Heat treating it, e.g. like traditional production of soy milk (where it's brought to boil or near boil for a long duration) does, simply heating it doesn't. A soy burger doesn't have to be cooked, it might need to be warm for taste and texture but there is no intrinsic reason why a replacement meat burger has to be grilled or cooked until the core temperature reaches the needed 54-60c like one would be cooking meat. If you create an already ready to eat patty with large amount of untreated soy protein and unless you fully cook the burger which might not be required or even not recommended to preserve texture/flavor, and even then it's not as simple since the heat treatment process to make soy "safe" is usually longer (and at a higher temperature) than what you would get to by grilling the burger as it was meat.

  You've also never eaten uncooked, raw soy beans. They make you sick. http://www.ehow.com/info_8547477_happens-eat-raw-soybeans.html http://www.ehow.com/info_8547477_happens-eat-raw-soybeans.ht...
