This just in: The Natto Diet is bullsh*t.
January 21st, 2007 by James
Oh dear, it would appear that the TV report that caused a natto-buying frenzy across Japan was pure bullsh*t.
From Neomarxisme:
Turns out the whole Natto Diet introduced on Hakkutsu! Aru Aru Daijiten 2 that sparked a national selling panic on natto (fermented soybeans) was based on fabricated data. Oops.
Hats off to the Japanese netizens who exposed the Natto Diet as a fantasy. I’m sure all you natto-loving foreigners who have been frustrated with the recent supply shortages are happy to hear that you’ll be able to chow down on stinky rotted soybeans again! [Assuming that average diet-crazed Japanese consumer finds out about this fraud]

I was in the local MaxValu last Wednesday thinking I’d grab some natto for this week’s breakfast when I turned the corner and saw the empty case with the ‘we’re sorry’ sign. Foiled by crazed housewifes!
At least now that it’s over I can return to my cheap breakfasts.

The average diet-crazed Japanese consumer will most certainly find out about this fraud. My GF rushed in here last night saying she had seen something on NHK news about it and demanded I immediately check the net for more information. She’s furious, as she loved Aru-Aru for its health tips and now it’s going off the air for however long as partial punishment. There’s a site here:

with more on it, and pretty much every Aru-Aru prog for a couple of years. Note the URL: ’sagi’….

The research is inconclusive . Natto does help you loose weight. You need read what you cite before coming on here posting garbage about natto. You express yourself like a three year old child !! Get better sources
