Tonyu (soy milk) isn’t neither a cause of obesity in Asia, and by the way is a traditional food over there. It already contains Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium and Iron. I hardly see how adding some B12, more calcium… leads to bad health effects.

I think we all know that the principal bad ingredients in processed beverage are sugar, sweeteners… but that’s neither a basic or traditional ingredient in tonyu.

Saying "soy milk is HPF" is like saying "cow milk is HPF" based on the studies of milk-based -junk-food-drinks.

It’s good to have a common scale and you have to take shortcuts to define it, however it’s important to understand those shortcuts and not following the blindly.

I also highly encourage anyone trying marinated tofu (read the ingredients), those are also considered HPF by Nova but most of them aren’t worse than smash potatoes with a vegetable broth.
