Asian cultures are aware.
In China for example, tofu is one of the cheapest possible protein sources (think in terms of a massive pallet of it sold for five dollars) but people are generally aware that it is poisonous in some weird ways that won't kill you. Males are generally urged not to consume it.
This could be a knowledge of just the upper class, though. An unspoken suggestion to leave the tofu and soy for the poor.

- sooheon 5y agoAccording to this (https://www.otsuka.co.jp/en/nutraceutical/about/soylution/encyclopedia/consumption.html https://www.otsuka.co.jp/en/nutraceutical/about/soylution/en...) Japan consumes 8.19 kg/year/person of soy, while the US consumes 0.04 kg/year/person. That's 200x difference. Japanese life expectancy is half a decade longer than the US, not to mention 1/10 the obesity.
- fomine3 5y agoI'm surprised how big the difference. 40g/y seems to just eat soy once per year, despite soy are farmed in the US.
