In conjuction of Soy Sauce Leading To Cancer Awareness Campaign by Penang Youth Community Bloggers
#1 Soy sauce
When we think of Chinese or Asian cuisine, the first thing that comes to mind is Soy Sauce. Soy Sauce has been used by these cultures for close to 2,500 years. It is made from soybeans, grains, salt and water.
#2 In Korea, soy sauce was traditionally made by allowing the soybeans, mixed with yeast, to ferment outdoors in large urns.
Traditional soy sauce is made from a fermenting process in which yeast is used, and fermented under the sun in a giant urn.
Today, there is always the need to reduce costs to increase profits. In turn, many producers ferment their soy sauce with machines.
Of course when profits are at stake, there has to be cheaper ingredients. In turn, these manufacturers aren't using soybean, instead are using hydrolyzed soy protein. When soy sauce is made in this fashion, it does not contain naturally the color it should; therefore caramel colors need to be added to make the consumer believe that they are in fact eating "real" soy sauce.
Commercially produced soy sauces aren't as good for you as their counterpart. These soy sauces contain chloropropanols 3-MCDP . This chemical is a carcinogen, and doesn't have to be added to soy sauce.
In addition to cancer causing additive, soy sauce contains almost 50% of your daily allowance of sodium. Though many people don't eat this product in abundance, overeating anything that contains this amount of salt is hazardous to your health. It can contribute to many conditions such as heart disease and high blood pressure.
Other than the salt and chloropropanols 3-MCDP, soy sauce really has no nutritional value. It is nothing more than an item that provides flavor and little else. Even though this item is derived from soy, it does not contain any of the isoflavones that are in such items as tofu.
Real, Chinese soy sauce however, contains a high amount of antioxidants, which in turn can prevent conditions such as cardiovascular diseases and is high in lactic acid bacteria which has anti-allergic potential.
The ingestion of soy sauce does not need to be avoided by everyone, just those on a low sodium diet and those with soy or wheat allergies, gluten intolerance or Celiac disease.
Soy sauce is nothing more than a condiment, if it is not needed in your food, it is best to avoid it because of the high sodium content. Many people don't' take into consideration the amount of sodium in other foods that they eat in the particular day, which can be overwhelming on the body and result in water retention.
My own experience: My dad was detected with kidney stones last year. According to the doctor, it is because of over consumption of salty things, especially like soy sauce. And also MSG. He had a hard time sleeping, it was too painful.
Make wise decisions and eat everything and anything in moderation. Moderation is the key to healthy eating, and living.

we live under the same sky
“To put away aimlessness and weakness, and to begin to think with purpose, is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment; who make all conditions serve them, and who think strongly, attempt fearlessly, and accomplish masterfully.”
- James Allen Quotes
Sometimes I wonder how people see me and what they think of me. It scares me a bit, honestly. I am sure though, that what they think of me,
what they think my life is, is a complete misperception. I have always tried to show myself as a carefree person, as someone who wont get bothered
because of public judgements. I am sure my friend and family think there is nothing going wrong in my life, that I do not worry enough, that
I am always happy. And I am sure they probably somewhat hate me for it because, lets admit it, there is nothing worse than seeing someone
who is life seems so perfect while yours is a complete mess. Truth is, I have become an expert at pretending. I think we are all experts
or at least we are getting there.
