Hmmm. Preparation is still the issue with soy. There is no issue with 
traditional 'fermented' preparations (of which tofu is NOT one, but 
is still nutritionally sound). My questions revolves around seed that 
is sold as 'edamame' and plan soy seed that some people are growing 
and selling as edamame.

My question is 'is vegetable soy nutritionally different from 
standard soy bean' for humans. (The phytate issue mentioned earlier.) 
My GOOGLEing is NOT finding an answer to this question. It's an 
important one, though, because you can buy a bushel of soy bean seed 
for little more than you'd pay for 5lbs of edamame seed at Johnny's.
