This just in: The Natto Diet is bullsh*t.
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]
