Dear Mr. Schmidt: Thank you for submitting this interesting question. According to research, products from sprouted varieties of soybeans have shown an increase in protein of 7% in soymilk and 13% in tofu across varieties; a reduction in fat of 24% in soymilk and 12% in tofu; in trypsin inhibitor of 73% in soymilk and 81% in tofu; in phytic acid of 59% in soymilk and 56% in tofu across varieties. You can read the abstract of the study following this link: http://www.springerlink.com/content/0136475516828541/
