The benefits of soy are under question:
There are several articles on this site which question the virtues of soy
http://www.theomnivore.com/The Soy Page.html
Worth reading up on, but the benefits of everything from sleep to anti-perspirants, vitamins, fish, cooked food, chicken, beef, pork, lamb, wheat, refined sugar, unrefined sugar, regular bathing and circumcision are under fire by someone.
Luckily, with soy, it's an odd minority with concerns. The widespread opinion says soybeans and soy products are a great, versatile, wholesome source of protein. I like them... mmmmm...
...do they still retain the "beneficial" stuff after the roasting process, albeit with added salt and oil?
Soy experts please advise.......thanks
On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised if roasted soy "nuts"
were diminished in nutrients over less processed versions; that's the standard effect where curing, roasting, drying, or whatever is concerned. The question is: diminished when compared to
what exactly? Raw beans? Who's eating those? They might be on par with other common soy products, like the curd which makes up tofu, or the processed beans in Clif Bars.
