Natto Cures
 |
"Natt%u014D is a traditional Japanese food made from soybeans fermented with Bacillus subtilis. It is popular especially as a breakfast food. As a rich source of protein, natt%u014D and the soybean paste miso formed a vital source of nutrition in feudal Japan. Natt%u014D can be an acquired taste because of its powerful smell, strong flavor, and sticky consistency. In Japan natt%u014D is most popular in the eastern regions, including Kant%u014D, T%u014Dhoku, and Hokkaido."

It has numerous health benefits, some proven....to name a few.. prevents osteoporosis, dissolves blood clots, high in vit K and protein, natural antibiotic...see Wiki for more info.
I believe it is usually better to add whole food sources of nutrients instead of the isolated compounds, since science is usually behind or incapable in measuring the complex array of interactions involved between nutrients & the body."
