In 1873, Professor Friedrich J. Haberlandt first became interested in soybeans when he obtained the seeds of 19 soybean varieties at the Vienna World Exposition (Wiener Weltausstellung). He cultivated these seeds in Vienna, and soon began to distribute them throughout Central and Western Europe. In 1875, he first grew the soybeans in Vienna, then in early 1876 he sent samples of seeds to seven cooperators in central Europe, who planted and tested the seeds in the spring of 1876, with good or fairly good results in each case. [118] Most of the farmers who received seeds from him cultivated them, then reported their results. Starting in February 1876, he published these results first in various journal articles, and finally in his magnum opus, Die Sojabohne (The Soybean) in 1878. [118] In northern Europe, lupin (lupine) is known as the "soybean of the north". [119] Central Asia Seber, LE; Barnett, BW; McConnell, EJ; etal. (2012).

According to the American Cancer Society, "There is growing evidence that eating traditional soy foods such as tofu may lower the risk of cancers of the breast, prostate, or endometrium (lining of the uterus), and there is some evidence it may lower the risk of certain other cancers." There is insufficient research to indicate whether taking soy dietary supplements (e.g., as a pill or capsule) has any effect on health or cancer risk. [172] Lang, Susan (June 21, 2006).

It was found to damage the kidneys, decrease fertility and cause tumors ( 29, 30). Soybeans and foods made from them are generally rich in arginine, an amino acid believed to help regulate blood pressure levels ( 20).The resulting bone loss may cause postmenopausal women to develop weak and brittle bones, a condition known as osteoporosis.

GMOs. Soybeans are often genetically modified (GMO). GMO soy may contain fewer nutrients and more herbicide residues than conventional or organic soy. More research about the long-term health effects of GMO soy is needed ( 57, 58). In fact, reducing your sodium intake results in a modest decrease in blood pressure and can be part of a treatment strategy for people with high blood pressure ( 12, 13, 14, 15).

Cultivation is successful in climates with hot summers, with optimum growing conditions in mean temperatures of 20 to 30°C (70 to 85°F); temperatures of below 20°C (70°F) and over 40°C (105°F) stunt growth significantly. They can grow in a wide range of soils, with optimum growth in moist alluvial soils with good organic content. Soybeans, like most legumes, perform nitrogen fixation by establishing a symbiotic relationship with the bacterium Bradyrhizobium japonicum ( syn. Rhizobium japonicum; Jordan 1982). This ability to fix nitrogen allows farmers to reduce nitrogen fertilizer use and increase yields when growing other crops in rotation with soy. [50] There may be some trade-offs, however, in the long-term abundance of organic material in soils where soy and other crops (for example, corn) are grown in rotation. [51] For best results, though, an inoculum of the correct strain of bacteria should be mixed with the soybean (or any legume) seed before planting. Modern crop cultivars generally reach a height of around 1m (3ft), and take 80–120days from sowing to harvesting. These amounts of soy isoflavones are equivalent to around 1–4 servings of soy foods per day. May reduce menopause symptomsHowever, a 2015 review of all studies to date on MSG and headaches did not find significant evidence to suggest that MSG causes headaches ( 23, 24, 28). However, it is not clear if reduction directly lowers the incidence of heart disease in healthy people ( 13, 16, 17, 18).

Elsevier. 31 (2): 84–90. These include alcohols, sugars, amino acids like glutamic acid, as well as organic acids like lactic acid. However, in recent years, investigations of soy sauce imports across the world, including in the US, UK, Australia and Europe, have found products significantly over the limits, with up to 1.4 mg per tablespoon (876 mg per kg), resulting in product recalls ( 30, 31, 33). How often do you see a recipe that calls for soy sauce and mindlessly reach for the Kikkoman – likely koikuchi, the darker brew? It’s understandable if you do – it is possibly the most accessible soy sauce brand worldwide. But keep in mind that all soy sauces are not the same, and if you use the wrong one, you’ll end up with a dish that’s something entirely different from what’s intended in the recipe. Soybeans and foods derived from them have been part of the human diet for centuries. Nevertheless, some people worry about including soy in their diet due to the following areas of concern:However, it’s unclear whether these small blood-pressure-lowering benefits apply to people with normal and elevated blood pressure levels. Soy-rich diets have been linked to a few potential health benefits. May help lower cholesterol levels Koikuchi-style, this is an elegant light style that is a great option for Japanese and Korean cooking and seasoning. For instance, one recent review suggests that a median intake of 25 grams of soy protein per day may help reduce total and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels by around 3% ( 14).
