When I was on parnate I was told to avoid all products with soy. Dr. Bob has an article on MAOI on his home page. You could also check Dr. Ivan Goldberg's home page.>
Well, you probably already know that high tyramine levels have been found in some soy sauces and aged tofu. See if you can find the following article:

> I don't know if they looked at the particular foods you mentioned (I've just read the abstract), but their overall recommendation is that you avoid all soy products. One problem is unpredictability across brands (this is seen with cheese as well).
