Raw soy of doom
February 24, 2012 6:19 PM Subscribe
I shouldn't have eaten it filter: I ate a couple of handfuls of raw soybeans. Afterwards, I googled for things to do with raw soybeans. That's when I learned that you really should not eat raw soybeans. Am I in any danger?
I put some dry soybeans to soak this morning. When I got home from work, I rinsed them and popped a handful in my mouth. They were tasty! So I had a second handful. This was about an hour and a half ago. My stomach is feeling....gurgly. If I don't die, is there anything I can do to counteract the intestinal affects that are sure to come?

At the point that you ate them, I would consider them raw and partially sprouted. This seems to be good!
I've found nutritional data on this, so people must eat them. I'm back to google...

What happens when you eat raw soybeans?

Likely you know by now you'll be fine. I'm pretty sure soaking washed off some/most of the effect you are worried about;)

mods: i've flagged this to ask that the text be changed from "you really should eat" to you really should NOT eat" in the fist paragraph
raw beans can be quite hazardous (soybeans not so much, but ...)
