Yes, we know, tofu has been the substitute to meat for
vegans and vegetarians lately. And to be honest I am a fan of the tofu burger
too, but apparently too much tofu can be bad for you sometimes, and a
55-year-old man in China speaks as he finds, when a CT scan revealed over 420
kidney stones – like the pebbles you put in the fish tank for decoration
purpose. Initially appalled, the doctors believe the stones could be the result
of the man’s tofu-heavy diet.
As it turns out, the man loves his tofu so much that he eats
it on a daily basis, but what caused the severe stomach ache that would later
lead him to seek medical help is his lack of water intake, which resulted in the
painful accumulation of unprocessed kidney stones, as tofu is a rich source of
calcium and kidney stones are caused by a buildup of calcium.
So watch out for your love of tofu, moderation is key.
