Er tofu sunt?

Noen bør unngå tofu

Men noen pasienter advares mot å spise tofu. Det er pasienter som tar legemidler som kalles MAO-hemmere (monoaminoksidasehemmere) mot stemningslidelser eller Parkinsons sykdom.

Tofu inneholder tyramin, en aminosyre som bidrar til å balansere blodtrykket. Ifølge Mayoclinic6 kan MAO-hemmere blokkere enzymet som bryter ned tyramin. Kombinerer man disse to, kan blodtrykket bli for høyt.
