Sastojak u skoro svemu što jedete - Frančeska Bot

Soja se uzgajala u Aziji hiljadama godina, ali se u međuvremenu raširila po celom svetu. Danas se soja nalazi u toliko hrane da većina ljudi nije ni svesna da je konzumira svakog dana. Dakle, šta čini soju tako upotrebljivom? Da li je naša opsesija zdrava ili štetna? Frančeska Bot istražuje zbog čega se ova biljka koristi u svemu, od majoneza pa sve do biorazgradive plastike.

Soybeans have become a hidden staple in diets and manufacturing worldwide, appearing in everything from chocolate to plastic. Their appeal lies in their high protein and fat content, plus a mild taste that blends easily into countless products. While soy provides essential amino acids and healthy fats, its global spread has fueled massive deforestation, with 22,000 square kilometers of the Amazon cleared for soy between 2006 and 2017. The benefits to human health are significant, but the environmental toll calls for urgent change.
