soy yogurt = fermented soy?

[annahawk]

I'm trying to get started on the traditional foods route.  I've avoided soy for the last 5 or 6 years for several reasons, but have read that fermented soy is considered ok.  Would soy yogurt fit this category, or am I only left with natto?

From what I understand, no, it's not.  The soy "milk" used to make it is highly processed, and when we talk about fermenting soy, we're usually talking about months or years.  Tempeh, shoyu, natto, and miso are traditionally fermented soy products.

The soy has to be fermented before it's cooked - soy milk is already cooked. 

For what purpose are you planning on adding soy back in?  It's definitely not necessary.
