About us
Science Blog was started in August 2002. It lives, breathes and eats press releases from research organizations around the globe. Most of what you read here are press releases from the outfits named in the stories themselves. Got a news story you think belongs here? Let's talk. The other half of the equation is blog posts from readers like you. So if you have an interest in science, please register and join others like you in an ongoing, vibrant dialog about what makes the world tick. Meantime, please take a minute to read our Privacy Policy and Site Disclaimer.Recommended

Honestly, the article is not meant for non-vegetarians to jump up and down acting like fools and exclaiming wildly that their meat-eating ways are truly superior. Meat has its drawbacks and can negatively affect mental and physical health, and tofu does as well. They both have their health benefits and for people who don't want to eat meat for issues dealing with animals, tofu also provides some moral benefits.
Do research. Look up studies. Don't just say one way is better based off of a single article that appears in popular science sources. Be well informed.
I for one use tofu and will not stop eating it. I can prepare it and therefore like it. This article cautions me to pay attention to my consumption of tofu as I age and to avoid feeding my children (who I've never planned to put on a vegetarian diet) tofu until they reach a reasonable age.
Be reasonable and pay attention to scientific facts rather than being an extremist.
