Talk:Tofu skin

message: Needs citations.  It's difficult to find yuba outside of Asian markets (in the US), I'm curious how it could be considered a good camping food.  Is camping common/popular in Asia?  --Keflavich 17:25, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Dried yuba is excellent for camping trips, as a small bag will provide many days of quality protein.
At least in Japan, yuba is not considered to be a camping food. --163.139.215.193 15:48, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: File:Yuba driedbeancurd.jpg Nominated for speedy Deletion

message: In the 'Benefits' claims, I have deleted health claims that are probably unsupportable and certainly dangerous without mention of the serious health risks of soya consumption for many people. I retained the nutritional 'benefits', and the reference, although I don't know whether it was a source for the nutrition information, the health benefits, or both. It was apparently a cookery book, which may be an acceptable reference for nutritional claims, but surely not for health claims.
The deleted claims are benefits that, I think, have been probably established for some ingredients of soy (soya). It is completely out of order (and generally illegal if you're selling the food--depending where, of course) to claim such benefits for a food, especially one like this that is highly modified from the original plant material. Without research that almost certainly has not been attempted, we don't know if the amount of this product that would have to be consumed to achieve any of the benefits could be lethal in other ways. 
Even in the USA, where regulation of quackery is appallingly weak (but not as bad as in my own Australia) the FDA has clamped down on scores of companies for illegal use of health claims in marketing their soya products. Please don't let Wikipedia have lower standards.
