It’s INCREDIBLY good for you.
It’s sticky and smells exactly like a horrid FART.
The weird thing:
People who can tolerate it are CRAZY about it.
Oh look another “super food”. Really people, why do you keep believing this crap over and over and over and over. Every year same scam, different food.
Next generation natto As well as cardiovascular benefits, natto is a rich source of vitamin K2, which is important for bone health.
...
I take K2 in a pill and it’s worked miracles for me.
The other ones great 4u:
1. Soba noodles - made of buckwheat
2. Kombucha - Fermented drink, pretty pricey in the USA, it’s easy and fun to make after you get the scoby (disgusting looking starter thing)
If you could get hooked on these two (easy) paired with Natto (harder), it would be AMAZINGLY good for you.
Green tea, too, but less so.
Nattokinase pills (2000 iu) seem to do the same, without the sticky mess. OTOH, as an aficionado of nihonryori (Japanese cuisine), I don’t mind natto, or to put it another way, it does natto bother me.
When my wife eats natto, I have to leave the room.
Spent 3 years in Japan and love the food. Except natto.
Just couldn’t get over the smell. And it tastes just like it smells.
you eat ancient Chinese nattos if you want to.
just keep it to yourself.
I tried to like natto, really I did. I do everything I can for my health, but natto defeats me.
Besides,it’s hard to find. Got it a Uwajimaya, large terrific Asian mkt in Seattle, but I don’t live there now.
If I could find it powdered in a capsule, I’d buy it. Headed to AMZ now to investigate.
As it turns out, AMZ has many kinds of nattokinase in capsule form. I put the most popular in my cart. More than 500 excellent reviews, plus it is not very expensive.
I just did a bit of research and found that it could be dangerous to supplement with nattokinase if you’re already taking a blood thinner.
I thought soybeans were supposed to be bad for you.
Tried natto in Tokyo from a Chinese street vendor. Once is enough. Don’t know if I want to live forever.
I love Natto! gonna go get myself some more of it!
Natto is very rich in K2/MK-7.
Raw milk fat from grass-fed animals yields a natural and complexed (versus synthetic and isolated) K2/MK-4.
Both are very valuable in promoting healthy bones and arteries, by increasing “good calcium” and reducing “bad calcium”.
The latter food source is now popular again due to the extraordinary contribution of Weston Price, a dentist, regarding his X Factor (now known to be MK-4) from raw butter oil.
(See also Rosalind Wulzen, a biologist and pioneer, coeval with Price, on the raw milk-fat benefit of producing the Anti-Stiffness Factor.)
