Why do some people that eat meat...?
come here and try to "educate" us on the dangers of soy and its "estrogen-like properties", when they consume animal flesh that contains ACTUAL mammalian estrogens.

Please THINK before you answer a question, it makes it much more valuable. If you are so concerned about starving people, maybe you should eat plant foods directly instead of feeding them to livestock to be wasted so that you can eat dead animals. Just a thought. =)

Zeek - May be you should check what section this question is posted in. It's not the heart disease, hunting&fishing or moron section. I apologize for being so arrogant. Maybe I shouldn't post questions in the vegan section if I choose to be so horribly vegan. =)

Answers:
In addition to the added hormones, cows that are pregnant (in order to continue lactating after they give birth yet again), are naturally full of estrogen in order to grow a fetus inside of them. This is one reason it is adviced to stop breastfeeding if you are pregnant (but why listen?!?), so that the breastfeeding babe doesn't get a whole lot of estrogen (estrogen in the female body (no matter what species of mammal) is produced at much less quantities when breastfeeding because it is better for the baby to not have high amounts of either male or female hormones at that age). But then they are fed it from a cow??
