Trying out soy again - yum!

In the name of figuring out which, if any, of the foods I cut I can bring back, I bought some organic, wheat-free tamari - aka, soy sauce. I made some chicken with Thai peanut sauce and basmati rice last night and boy have I missed soy sauce! It tasted so good and rich and punchy! I'm going to take this slow because I wonder also if it may be that I can handle only certain quantities of soy, and only if it's fermented (aka, soy sauce, miso, tempeh, natto). While soy has been heavily marketed as a health food for it's isoflavinoids and plant-based protein in the West, some say that un-fermented soy (soy milk, soy cheese, etc.) does more harm then good (1, 2, 3). So here, we go!
