    The really funny thing about this is OP is egregiously wrong.

    Soy doesn’t contain estrogen, it contains phytoestrogen, which not only doesn’t produce any estrogen-like side-effect, but actively prevents our bodies from taking and producing estrogenic hormones.

    This is all very ironic, considering drinking excessive cows milk leeches calcium out of our bones and exposes us to a smorgasbord of hormones not designed for humans.

    Soy is shit tier anyway, oat milk all the way.

      If soy did do this, red states would be trying to regulate it so trans people couldn’t buy it.

      afaik, it’s not really a myth. it does actually have plenty of phytoestrogens and it’s often recommended as a supplement for HRT. Probably not enough to have much of an effect on its own though

        you think because it has “estrogens” in the name it turns you into a girl. phyto- means plant. are you a plant?

        recommended as a supplement for HRT.

          Exactly. It has a similar name in one of the ingredients. But: this ingredient is not estrogen and it basically has zero impact on the hormones in your body. And all experts know that. That’s why there’s no scientific papers supporting this whole soy / estrogen theory.

          You know what I’ve been seeing on Facebook lately (qualifier, I use it for my local village group and those last few friends that refuse to use anything else)? People posting the fact that the AstraZeneca vaccine used a modified chimpanzee adenovirus and implying this is the cause of the mpox business.

          I would 100% bet they got it from Facebook!

      Internet soyboy meets world.

      The men are not impressed by what he tells them of what he has learned.

    It’s completely wild that people drink cow hormone juice and then think that soy is affecting their hormones.

      It’s completely wild that… Husbandry exists? That we eat other animals? That we rot liquid food to drink it? That we use bacteria to curdle milk?

      Hot bean juice!

    Always thought soyboy is a way to condecendingly refer to a JavaScript developer. Because you know, beans.

    Hard to stay on top of all the internet lingo.
