This should not have been posted at all. First, it's from 2001, so over two decades old, and it's not about Soy Sauce the food ingredient, it's about some specific brands of Soy Sauce you could see on some supermarket shelves in one particular country twenty years ago. It is also a short article, more of a reminder or a notice to readers. It just contributes to the general background noise of "Scientists have found ..." that have zero impact on real life and consist of nothing but engagement hooks. It is also questionable how dangerous the ingredients in the problematic soy sauces are to the average consumer, given how little of the stuff is usually used per serving.

Yeah the year should be noted, but it is still relevant (not intending to hurt Asian pride here): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soy_sauce#Carcinogens

News at eleven: "Some Food Stuffs in Some Countries May Contain Something that May Hurt if Consumed in Big Doses, Scientists Said 20 Years Ago"

Kind of important to note that this article is from 2001.

So, is it actually dangerous, or based on fake science again, like with the MSG ban?
