Tofu is sweet, salty, cold in nature, and slightly toxic. It can clear heat, invigorate blood, and expel turbidity from the large intestine. Honey is sweet, cooling, and lubricating. Consuming these two together can easily lead to diarrhea. At the same time, honey contains a variety of enzymes, while tofu contains various minerals, plant proteins, and organic acids. Mixing the two can easily produce biochemical reactions that are unfavorable to the human body. Therefore, it is not advisable to eat honey after eating tofu, and even less so to consume them together.
Soy milk and honey should not be mixed together.
The protein content of soy milk is higher than that of milk, while honey is mainly composed of about 75% glucose and fructose, with a small amount of organic acids. When mixed, the organic acids combine with the proteins to cause denaturation and precipitation, which cannot be absorbed by the human body. The correct way to consume honey is to dissolve it in warm water at 40°C to 50°C.
Brown sugar is not recommended in soy milk.
Because brown sugar contains various organic acids, they can combine with the proteases in soy milk, easily causing the proteins to denature and precipitate, making them difficult to be absorbed by the human body. White sugar will not cause this phenomenon.
Special Reminder: Regular soy milk drinkers should pay attention to supplementing zinc.
For example, legumes contain inhibitors, saponins, and lectins, all of which are substances that are not good for the human body. The best way to deal with them is to cook the soy milk thoroughly. People who consume soy milk regularly should not forget to supplement the trace element zinc.
