Yum? And Tofu? In the same sentence? Is this Bizzaro World?

Tofu can be good, depending on its consistency and preparation.

Fried tofu is yummy. Soft tofu with fresh ginger and shoyu is yummy. Aburage [deepfried tofu] is doubly yummy.

Yeah, tofu is is just about the most bland neutral tasting food there is\*. It easily takes on the taste of whatever spices it is cooked with and is thus majorly yummy!

As for the OP, I can’t say that I’m all that concerened about something affecting my fertility, not after having that vascetomy I mean…

- IMHO the same applies to whitefish, which I also love to cook in heavy spices

Count me as skeptical. A couple of months ago, a guy named John Ioannidis published a report titled Why Most Published Research Findings are False. [Cite](http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?tool=pubmed&pubmedid=16060722). Apparently something like one third of peer-reviewed medical studies are later contradicted or severely curtailed in their scope. So, I say: Frankly, I don’t believe it.
