Nguyen Hai Oanh and her husband (Hoai Duc, Hanoi) have 2 sons (one in grade 8, one in grade 4). Recently, for some reason, her mother-in-law moved in with her family. It was also from here that the discord between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law arose.

Every day, after work, Ms. Oanh stops by the market to buy food to cook. Due to her taste preferences, almost every day, she buys a few pieces of tofu or 1-2 packs of bean juice to drink.

Once, Ms. Oanh gave 2 cups of soy sauce to her children, but her mother-in-law suddenly stopped her. She also loudly protested that Ms. Oanh bought tofu and bean juice for her husband and children all day long.

The mother-in-law scolded Oanh, saying: “Do you want to turn this whole family into women and feed them beans all day long? People only eat tofu when they become a monk, and this family still wants their descendants to continue.”

It turned out that Oanh’s mother-in-law was afraid that her son and grandson eating a lot of tofu would affect physiology. Although the whole family has eaten tofu for a long time without any problems and Oanh herself feels that she is not wrong, but because she is afraid to collide with her mother-in-law, she does not dare to buy beans to eat anymore.

According to Dr. Ngo Quang Tuc – Vietnam Institute of Indigenous Medicine, tofu is made from soybeans, which is a familiar food for Vietnamese people. Made from soybeans, tofu provides the body with many essential nutrients.

Tuc said that people believe that eating soy will be feminized because soy is rich in Isoflavones, also known as Phytoestrogens, which have a structure similar to the female hormone Estrogen, so many people mistakenly believe that eating a lot of tofu or drinking milk. Soy will affect the physiological ability of men or boys.

Because of this point of view, many people are afraid to eat soy for fear of impaired physiological function. Many people believe that eating tofu will inhibit the desire of men, so some vegetarians will no longer have desire. But in fact, the doctor said that so far there is no scientific evidence that eating soy will reduce male fertility.

Dr. Tuc said that studies have shown that soy completely does not affect the amount of testosterone or estrogen hormones or parameters of semen and sperm. Up to now, many studies have also shown that the great benefits of soybeans are not only food but also medicine that is beneficial to human health.

Soybean is considered a food and a valuable medicine for disease prevention because soy has a lot of protein equivalent to the protein in milk, egg white and amino acid composition that is easily absorbed by the body. In soybeans, which are low in saturated fat, do not contain cholesterol, soybeans are also a source of omega 3 and omega 6, so it has the effect of preventing atherosclerosis.

The fiber of soybean meal, fermented soybean meal, soybean fruit and crude protein in soybean helps the digestive system work smoothly and better.

Soybeans lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease including stroke.

For men, regular soy consumption also reduces the risk of prostate cancer. Because soybeans contain genistein, omega-3 fatty acids, omega-6… are substances with high antioxidant capacity, so they have anti-aging effects and inhibit cancer cells.

In women, regular soy consumption also reduces the risk of breast cancer because the isoflavones in soy have the effect of inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. Soy reduces the risk of osteoporosis in postmenopausal and premenopausal women.
