Is soy bad for men?!
Answers: I asked a question about soy milk and someone said that it can increaase estrogen in your body and may increase breast growth. As a guy, who doesn't want to grow man boobs, but is allergic to milk and consumes about a gallon of soy milk a week, I want to know the validity of this persons remarks. Answers are appreciated.
I am am man at least the last time I checked and I have been eating an assortment of soya products and drinking soya milks/using yougarts for 4 years and have not started to look like Pam Anderson yet (what is she going to do when she is 80???), the estrogen everyone speaks of is a synthezised one not a natural one and is used only in post-menopausal women for a boost, it does not work the same for men.
I like all soya products and being I was a former chef and have had them in alot of countrys, I have pretty fair idea on how to use them, actually I have found I have fewer outbreaks of a dermetitis I had for years and may scalp condition has been under control (I have oily hair and it is not as bad), I eat a type of soya product at least 3 times a week and use the soya based coffee cream sub in my coffee each day, you cannot survive on an all soya diet, it can make some people gassy, I have not found that, work it into your diet and see how it helps you, I am sure you will be fine, no massive man boobs to worry about or the Enquirer may come a calling???

I doubt it will do much to a grown man, wikipedia says it reduces the risk of prostate cancer. If a had a lactose intolerant young boy I would personaly give him rice milk or lactose free milk. Not worth the risk of putting extra hormones into a devloping body.
hello...well first of all soy protein is a very good source of protein... soy milk taste great the organic valley is the best...soy does have estrogen but if you drink one cup a day you will be fine...soy milk and soy protein powder are very rich in amino acids and our body needs amino acids every day.... if you feel uncomfortable drinking soy milk there are other milks such as lactade and lactose free milk but as a vegetarian you NEED protein you can always switch to whey protein instead of soy whey is alot better than soy...but soy milk is fine for you....
According to my wife who is a registered dietitian, that is not true.
