Soybeans are rich in protein, but they also contain trypsin inhibitors, which can inhibit the action of trypsin on protein, preventing soy protein from being broken down into amino acids that can be used by the human body.

In order to make full use of the protein in soybeans, it is necessary to eliminate the adverse effects of trypsin inhibitors through processing methods such as sufficient soaking, grinding, filtering, and heating. Raw soy milk also contains a substance called saponin. If the saponin enters the gastrointestinal tract before it is fully cooked, it will irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa of the human body and cause some poisoning reactions, such as nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, fatigue, etc.
