I have it in the fridge and I can eat it pretty much every morning.
it's health properties... ehhh... it's basically salt. I use it like a flavored salt.
You can't finish a whole block anyways it's too salty.
So treat it as a condiments not as a food material!! :D

edit:
I would like to think it's very similar to miso in term of the non-salt part. it's fermented beans.
one of the greatest human achievement is to eat cooked and fermented food, made things much easier to digest.

lately in the english-speaking world, fermented foods are kind of trending as a healthy food,

but all the somewhat older chinese/asians seem to think fermented things cause cancer. I know a nutritionist who helped study 豆腐乳 in rats in taiwan when she was young. she told me all of them got cancer. koreans get more of a certain type of cancer, i forget which (esophageal? stomach?), and i think some suspect kimchi has something to do with it.

I think 臭豆腐 is technically fermented tofu too, and if we had it here I would eat it every day XD

just ask your parents/other older people about their opinions. I'm assuming you're chinese/asian. it's just general sentiment I've noticed. even like in youtube 健康加油站 (it's one of my bedtime shows lol.. i'm a small-time health nut). a lot of general notions/sentiments are complete opposites of western trends. for example, chinese also think spicy food is unhealthy, but westerners can't get enough of spicy food atm.
