Thanks for checking out this video! There's so much misinformation out there about soy, I hope this clears some of it up. Again, you don't HAVE to eat soy, but as this video shows, it also isn't something we need to be worried about. I've had a few people ask me how much soy they can be eating? Check out this video "How Much Soy Is Too Much" from Nutrition Facts for the answer to that. bit.ly/1NiIqgy
Simnett Nutrition Thanks for this series man, informative and fun all in one! Congratulations on 300k as well!
@Namaste, Kyrié Thank you!
I'm an 18 year old and have been training for 2 years and been a vegan for a year.I have been eating 1 cup of raw,dried soybean (I'll boil them and eat them).I have been gaining muscle.But the problem lies on the bloating of my stomach.I've tried to eat slowly and soak them overnight but it doesn't seem to work.Any suggestions to due with it?
Simnett Nutrition love how you take the time to display the colors and make vegan eating look clean simple and appetizing
Keep up the amazing work, youre great!
Your personality is the #1 thing I like about your videos. Thanks for being you.
The genuine article!
Same with me. But it would be better if he’d talk about something I’m interested in.
Sounds like you're someone who would be easily manipulated
Awesome video! I also tested this hypothesis at a level that would never be accepted in a medical study due to safety and ethical reasons for the participants. Last 6 weeks before a bodybuilding show I basically used mostly soy and soy protein. I took a blood test 2 days after a show, low estrogen, normal testosterone, great blood work all around given the huge stress on the body by getting to a 6-7% bodyfat level.
ty for sharing your experience good luck on your competitions.
Very Very Very Very Very VERYYYYYY helpful brother. I know how much time it takes to create these videos. Thank you!
Brix Fitness you too! Your content is on point.... 2 inspirational UA-camrs
Debunking the often ridiculous myths about soy is so necessary. Thanks for the great video. :-)

If soy makes me sound as homosexual as this guy does, I don’t even want to look at it.
Good morning Derek I'm so glad that you're talkin about soy. This is one thing people are always arguing with me about.
Simnet, my husband has the biggest man crush on you! Loving the haircut for summer!!!! I love this video. As a personal trainer I have so many clients terrified of soy...yet they eat GMO fed conventional meat cause #protein lol! It drives me crazy how much misinformation there is out there! I eat all organic for autoimmune issues but a whole food plant based organic diet changed them all! Thanks for spreading this important information and keeping it real, you're so down to earth and so entertaining. It's good for my husband to watch someone as athletic as you eat so healthfully and build muscle on plants, and to give him ideas for meals for me to make (or inspire him to make his own which is a plus for me!!) haha. Just wanted to say thanks for all you do!!
Thank you for your videos. You and other vegan atheletes ( for example Brian Turner, John Venus) have inspired me to go vegan.
Best wishes from Germany!
TASTEINMUSIC awesome!
What sports do you like to do?
don't do it... it will ruin your health. Veganism is a blatant lie.
have fun deteriorating and sounding 6 while looking 50

I found this so inspirational that I am going to make up a Buddha bowl just like this for lunch! That miso - tahini sauce - the deluxe version, I so delicious. Thanks Derek as always, for being so upbeat and genuine!
Dude thank you so much for your good energies and the effort you put on these videos. You helped me to transition from vegetarian to vegan after 7 years or so! And I couldn't be happier, thank you again!
Smoked tempeh strips are great on sandwiches; especially with tomato, lettuce, vegan mayo, toasted bread. Very easy to make!
VERY informative, VERY attention holding. Thank you. I will no longer be afraid of the PROPER soy product and am actually eager to try out that Buddha Bowl!
This reads like a fake trip adviser review
Hi Derek. I have found your youtube channel recently.
I absolutely love it!!!!!
I am a student of Human Nutrition, with a huge passion for plant-based nutrition.
I have to say you are a great educator and inspirator because you take all these topic seriously, with background multiple evidence-based studies and underline the facts, although some of the long term evidence in general needs to be studied deeper about plant-based diet topic but the science is coming there. You have a holistic approach and I am very happy to see somebody like you out there in this mix messages mass media information!
THANK YOU, you have my respect :)
AND KEEP IT UP
I rarely write comments but i just wanna thank you in this one for all the work you put into the production of your videos. They are always filled with good content which you make available for free to many human beings out there which helps to erase all the myths roaming around in the world on nutritious food.
Thank you and keep grinding!😊
Thanks for the deep research you do. I learned a lot. An educated consumer is the best customer.
I EAT TEMPEH ALLL DAY ERRRDAYYY can't live without em... thx for debunking soy myths Derek. Greetings from Indonesia, the originator of tempeh!
This is my 2nd search for whether or not soy is safe and healthy to consume. Your video was very informative and the Buddha bowl was nice as well. Thank you for sharing this information.
Thank you thank you thank you for this video! So helpful debunking a lot of the myths of soy. Love this series!
Referencing the relevant studies to back up your information adds so much credibility. Thanks for taking the time to research and put this together, keep up the good work. 👍
Thank you for blowing up all of the soy myths, and dropping a dairy truth bomb in there too! Awesome video!!
Well done 👍 I love that you put all the references in the show notes
Thank you so much for making this video - went to my dad's house for Christmas yesterday and let's just say it came in handy!
Hey Derek! Im still a vegan noob (been a vegan for almost a year best decision ive ever made!) And your recipes are so delicious and helpful and the information you provide is greatly appreciated and really amazing, Im learning so much from you ! You are my favorite vegan youtuber and I thank you so much for your videos and all of the efforts you put into making them!
Still eating plants after 4 years, or you changed your mind :D ?
still doing it of course. Never stopped.@@sharkhardware
@@RavenDemonia And how do you get fats? Calcium?
Good job covering the subject. Really appreciate it!
Thank you for making this video and all your videos Derek! You're the best!!💚
Hey, Derek! Thanks for the information. I appreciate that you did all that research and included it for us. In terms of soy milk, I learned that the Silk brand is made using hexane. I wondered what was going on, when I felt ill after drinking some, and the hexane bit made sense to me. The 365 unsweetened soy milk from Whole Foods (refrigerated) is my go-to. I also like the shelf-stable kind from Trader Joe's.
Fantastic video!!
It’s so helpful having this knowledge and fun facts, since I’m the only vegan in my family and always get counter vegan facts during family dinners.
These videos helps a lot!
Thank you 😊
If you're interested in giving natto another try I love it over rice with a splash of tamari, mustard and scallions.
Great video, love this series!
Thank you for dispelling the estrogen mimicking myth! I live near Stanford University where that study was done. Since then I switched to all fermented soy products and to coconut and almond milk. I have been eating a vegie diet mostly raw for 40years, and have seriously missed my tofu favorite, scrambled tofu!
Good Lord Man! Mostly raw for 40 years?? Ay-yi-yi-yi-Yiiiiiiii!!! How on EARTH?? And my most sincere CONGRATULATIONS! Geez u must be healthy as a horse! Your insides must be clean as a whistle eh?! Would u mind sharing with me please...an average days eating for u sir? I'm just fascinated because i honestly don't think i could do it for a week, let alone 4 decades! i havent had meat for 15 years or dairy for about 3 and ive just gone whole food vegan no oil about a year ago. But what gets me thru....what i know will keep me eating this way till i kick it...is the warm porridge, the baked oats with blueberries, the vege stir fries on top of rice & quinoa, the hearty soups & chilli bowls, the mashed potatoes & gravy, baked sweet potatoes loaded with unfried refried beans, airfried chippies with dippy dishes of "cheeze" sauce & ketchup! Just thinking of my faves to add here got me shaking my head at how little raw i DO eat! Just a few salads a week (more when my gardens happy) plus my daily smoothy. which is just 3 cups of green leafys, a chunk of turmeric root, and some berries & pineapple. thats it! SMH. yeah nah im SURE i couldnt cope on raw? Curiosity is mad peaked now tho, bout what meals you must eat?!
@@CastledarkDweller27 I believe Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen is similar to the diet he follows. Just an assumption though!
Thank you for the video.
I found it extremely useful.
Furthermore, I enjoyed the number of studies that were referenced to support your points.
Edamame is my favorite! Whole or roasted it is such a good source of protein.
Great job doing this video
I've done plenty of research as of lately
I appreciate your honesty and definitely about sharing the types of soy products because yes not all are created equal
Again fantastic post
My soy boy brother 💪🏼🌱🔥
Pound of soy challenge was epic
Homosexuals ^
@@TheNaturalhumandiet The crime is they would probably he heterosexuals if they drank real milk and ate red meat.
@@TheNaturalhumandiet weak burn
look at what soys doing to him hahah he looks about 45 and sounds like my 8 year old nephew , wonder how much he gets paid to say this shit
Awesome info, cleared up any soy doubts and differences between the different soy products, Awesome video!
Yes, and yes.
Thank you so much for the research links because I have a friend that I have extensive conversations with regarding those exact assumptions and ideas, so this will definitely help him!
I eat 1/2 pack of Tofu everyday 😋. I’m still gaining muscles and I’m so excited 😆. Umm Mister that avocado was still good, make a sauce with it or mash it up 😋
Carlos_ So what you drink Milk?
Milk has actual mammal estrogen. Dairy Fairy
@Carlos_ its not the same estrogen as we make as humans not even close , also beer has more phytoestrogen then soy because of hops
if you compare female estrogen to phyto estrogen its about 100plus times weaker
it occupies the estrogen receptors and actually blocks the stronger actual human estrogen from over producing
BINA K the proof that this guy has too much estrogen is in his voice. This is not what real men sound like.
There is absolutely no reason to be rude to Derek and crystal. This comment should be deleted.
CJA32able yes there is. They’re promoting a diet that isn’t good for people
love the references, i've been confused about this topic, thanks for the clarification!
Thank you Derek, this is the video I was waiting for! Lots of love. 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Love your energy and this video helped me so much to get clearer about soy. Have to admit holding back from soy just cuz' there are so many opinions on it.Now I'm good
Dripping with information, fun, cool, neat, interesting, cozy, chill... I mean lemme get my dictionary with all the good words out there!
You sure have lots of tempeh options there in Canada, here in Italy is like "that strange sponge" that's a little bit pricey for the quantity you get, unfortunately, but at least the tofu is somewhat good! And it's really the best thing to always look for organic soy.
I know you are not a doctor but your videos like this are so informative because you don't rely on just your opinion but back it up with real medical data......I love watching these!!
Thanks Tim!
FINALLY!!! A super awesome vid which I can show to anyone who doubts the humble soybean;-)👍😎👊🏼🤓
Great video that provides a thorough overview. Just subbed and looking forward to learning more about Vegan topics. Thank you!
Hands down one of the best UA-cam channels of all time. Thank you, Derek!!
HAHAH
@@TheNaturalhumandiet I'm so sorry that you weren't interesting enough to make the cut!
@@jem222x My channel is way more interesting than watching a Butt-Ugly Radical Lesbian try to Drum...rofl. I suppose its all subjective though isn't it sweety.
@@TheNaturalhumandiet eh, I have a life and no time to update my channel. Your criticism really has no effect on me, but what is pathetic is how desperate you are for attention. Take care, sugar butt!
Once again thanks Derek for these videos. We are having a buddha bowl night later this month with several of our friends and we will definitely use your recipe that you’ve put up on the video!
I don't season tempeh, I eat it straight out the pack. I also second that different brands taste different. Like the difference between smokey bacon flavour and creamy peanut.
Vegan Footsoldier
The mycelium weirds me out, I just get high protein tofu but maybe I need to learn how to like tempeh it seems like a less processed product for sure
what yuck you white people are weird lol even us Indonesians (the originator of tempeh) don't eat them raw... season them with spices, pan fried, battered and deep fried, sauteed with vegs, add em to your vegan chili or jambalaya, taco fillings, anything, just don't eat them raw, so you get the optimum tempeh dish experience!
I can't believe that people criticize your voice. I think you have a lovely, very attractive voice : )
You're doing awesome job Derek man, thanks 👏
🌱💪❤️
Hugely informative. Thank you for backing with the science!!!
Thanks, I was a little concerned about feeding my 3 sons too much soy, especially my oldest who is a teenager but I've raised him with lots of tofu/tempeh/miso and he is a tough Tae Kwon Do black belt instructor and 6'2" so I don't know why I'm worrying. I just wanted to do my research!!
Thank you so much for this video, It was really interesting and I most liked the clarification about the false myth of soy and feminine effect.
Thank you for the awesome information, pay zero attention to the haters, they are just jealous.
Jealous of his stinky vegan house? Caused by gas and bloating. I think not.
@@jamesdicale1763 lol
Thank you SO much for all of the research and sources you provided! This series is awesome, and I would love to see an episode on beets!
Thanks Candace!
On a serious note, I love soy products. Tofu, mock meats, whole soy beans, etc. So tasty, versatile, and a good source of protein!
this. im subscribing because of the amount of detail put into it. fair content!
Amazing man amazing production quality
Wow! Great sauce, your the sauce master. I’ve been plant base for just 1 month and was missing the flavour ...now with these sauces, I m back in business. Thank you so much for sharing and guiding me through this phase! Btw just got your ebook and looks fantastic! 👍👍
Great overview, as always, master Derek! ;)
Hey Derek, love the vid! I follow similar rules of thumb when picking soy products but I wanted to expand on the RoundUp knowledge. Glyphosate is the active ingredient in RoundUp which are two different beasts. Glyphosate interrupts an enzyme pathway in plants that synthesizes phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan, Monsanto found a version of the enzyme that was resistant to that inhibition which allows the plants to produce the amino acids necessary for them to grow. That specific mechanism does not affect human as we do not have the enzyme pathway and we can get those amino acids from food. That being said there are lots of great reasons to not over use herbicides and definitely leave them off the leaves of our food. :)
Oh! Can you do either chia seeds, flax seeds or even brussel sprouts next?
LEGENDARY. Well done man, this is so comprehensive and answers so many questions! Much better than the video I made about SOY hahaha Thanks for putting all the effort into this series. Will definitely use this as a resource for when clients are worried about Soy... (which is pretty much all of them lol).
Nice haircut man!
Thank you for this video 😍 I am also tired of those “soya is bad” arguments with people so now I’ll just stick this video in their face 💁🏻♀️ seriously tho, amazing amount of research there, all the info backed up, such a good job 👌
I've tried culturing my own tempeh. Waaay cheaper where i live, but more work ofcourse ^^ takes about 1-2 days for the rhizopus oligosporus to finish growing.
I thought of doing that aswell, tempeh is not very popular here in Brazil, it is relatively hard to find even in big cities, and in a small town like mine, impossible, so I thought of making my own, but I also found out that the tempeh starter is surprisingly expensive
Amazing video, Derek!! Absolutely adore this series!!
Rocking the short hair Derek! 👍
“So good!” Who knew?
Ha, thanks for the soy breakdown. As usual, solid debunking right here. Love the sauce recipe. Making it again tonight… for tofu!!
Buying avocado is like buying lottery ticket! Great video btw,. Thank you!
100% true! It's sooo anoing, you buy, trying to make something with this and bam! Dark, or hard even is soft outside.
I was always afraid of soy for several reasons Now you have open my eyes to eating it and will incorporate it to my diet thank you
Looking good Derek 💪🏼💪🏼🌱
Just recently turned vegan due to gut inflammation. So far am enjoying it!
Keep up the great work Derek as you are one of my new mentors/motivators to continue this lifestyle change!
Peace & love from the 6ix!
This really is a great series
Love the new haircut. Thanks for providing this great information. I always enjoy the videos.
Are you guys all Gay? Why are you all commenting on his hair styles? Wtf is happening to Men?
Carnivore Life Straight men can’t comment on a guy’s hair? Commenting on a man’s hair make one less of a man? Do you live under a rock and have such a limited idea of what a man is?
I love tofu and tempeh 💕Another great video!
Hey Derek, very interesting Video! I must try the sauce recipe, it sounds amazing!
By the way, I like the way you are, every time smiling and happy!
Greetings from Germany
love edamame, tempeh and tofu! I try to buy organic but otherwise love it 💚💚
Hey Derek, thank you so much for this awesome video. Super informative content, debunking all the common myths. I appreciate it was a lot of work from both you and your friend. Thanks!
Simnett- the one guy who could potentially make me try veganism again one day. I love your content. Still waiting for you to collab with one of the ex-vegans. I think you and Drew Morg would be an interesting dynamic. Either way, thank you!!
Eli_the_Science_Guy start with the steps you can take.
Shoes, furniture, clothes and accessories, those you don’t buy with a high frequency.
Switching to plantdrinks seems easy to me. Good luck!
I actually disagree. I think getting caught up in the entire ex-vegan drama would take away from this channel or his point. Why would it matter?
Derek, really appreciate the nutrition information you are sharing here and on other posts, and I have the cookbooks too👍👍 Can you share the nutrition web tool in this video? Keep on keepin' on!
"soy" would make a great cat name 🤔 Thankfully, GMO is legally prohibited in Russia. And soy isn't that big here anyway. Soy products are barely available in small towns, so there are happy healthy vegans who eat tofu once a year as a special treat 😅
@Big Dank Beans almost all the other beans and legumes are available. Chickpeas and lentils are slightly more expensive, but still affordable. Tofu isn't that expensive either, cheaper than cheese, there is just very little demand for it where I live. Avocados are like 1-1.5$. Still plenty of delicious food. We're in it for the animals, not for gluttony and pleasure, aren't we?)
I find Tofu here in Saint Petersburg at "Okey" fortunately :)
@@DerMarKoZ yeah, 3000 km away from Saint Petersburg ) I could technically order it online but I don't really think it's worth the trouble ))
@Big Dank Beans well done! Fortunately, as a 120lb girl, I can work out from 8 to 10 hours a week doing all sorts of things (weight lifting, running, cycling, dancing, walking and what not) and still feel satiated on the mere 2000 calories. But I admire your decision ) way to go
I had a dog called soy lol
Thank you for this great video, Derek. Yes, I too was a little confused about soy, but I think I’ll give it a try.
I asked and you delivered. High five Simnett! 🖐 Thank you! 🥑🥦🥕🍠
I buy dried soy beans (organic, local) and soak, peel, steam in the pressure cooker, cool down and then put them in the freezer. That way you can always take out a small portion of ready to eat soybeans for soymilk (blender) or just to add it to any meal or smoothie. Good video, cant be said enough that soy is good if done right.
Great video. I was wondering if u have any recipes using amaranths.
I use amaranth together with quinoa, I weigh how much I want to cook (50/50 quinoa/amaranth) and cook it in double the total weight in water, bring to a boil, lower heat to almost minimal heat, add lid and cook for about 15 minutes. Don't remove lid before your timer hits 15 mins. It should be perfectly cooked this way and no need to drain water as it will al be evaporated.
Edwin Pantus thanks! If u happen to know any good recipes let me know!
I really felt that avocado reaction, it's always a struggle😂 I hope I'll live in the future somewhere where all this good stuff actually grows!
good job. worth the effort!! 💚💚
So comprehensive! Love this series so much, Derek!
Just made myself a banana shake with soymilk, ready to go full soyboy mode!
Wow thank you so much for this! Best video hands down and so much quality content that’s easily understandable! Thank you 🎉
I feel like Rhett from Good mythical morning is being called out pretty hard at 7:44 😂😂 #goodmythicalmorning
I am currently a meat eater been looking into changing to a vegan diet but have so many questions ...found this video very helpful thank you
got yourself a sub 👍
OMG... Derek's bad avocado face says it all!😂😂😂
Dang you've got facts on facts man! That beer phytoestrogen tidbit was just the best thing ever.
4:40 Lovely nails, Derek! Did you get a manicure?
P.s. Huge congratulations on 300k subs!
Lol, I wish :P
I love natto, but it's definitely not for everyone. You can usually find it frozen at Japanese markets. On top of rice with some spicy mustard, tamari, nori, and avocado, it's a great dish.
Notification squaaaddd
Weque Official ayyy
My boyfriend was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism. But I really want us to reduce our meat and dairy intake, so I was curious about including Soy in our diet. This video was really informative.
Gotta get my daily dose of the man-boob bean💪
It's legit one of the healthiest foods you can consume
No, Raw Grassfed Beef is the healthiest food.
@@TheNaturalhumandiet cooked grassfed beef might be a little better for you but who knows 🤷♂️
Love these videos! So much information. I especially love that infographic about where soy crops are used...🤯 Love tempeh too!
