Agreed, it really depends because "processing" can mean so many different things. A Twinkie is processed, but so is a brick of ultra-firm tofu.

    How did I know I was gonna get a "soy = estrogen = bad" comment? :P I have yet to see any credible evidence that tofu is bad for your endocrine system.

      I don't know much about the contents and outcomes of twinkies, but a search for "soy endocrine" gave me this https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5646220/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5646220/ a mixed bag, but higher reports of reproductive cancer, prolonged menstrual bleeding for young women stood out as reasons I might limit my intake, and the same for my children. I've heard personal accounts of vegan friends turning to meat and dairy to keep up with their fitness demands (studying yoga in Astanga, and Olympic lifting.) I've been vegie for parts of my life, but it sure is a loaded topic!

        Does it? Maybe we should just process the soy a bit more: Traditional and Domestic Cooking Dramatically Reduce Estrogenic Isoflavones in Soy Foods https://www.mdpi.com/2304-8158/13/7/999 https://www.mdpi.com/2304-8158/13/7/999
