Is it alright for guys to drink and eat soy products such as soy milk?



I heard that soy products contains estrogen, female hormones, I really do prefer soy milk rather than other milks.
I started buying soy milk solely upon the use of soy nutrients that can prevent some fats from forming.

Should I stop consuming in soy products?
Oh, Is there a supplement or any other foods/produce that contains testosterone?

Well it isn’t good for you to consume estrogen or too much testosterone, besides if i can find the news article, soy stuff promotes cancer.

no, eat meat like a MAN. This is the pussification of America. We will no longer win wars and Iran will invade us, because YOUR future kids will be WEAK.

Anything in excess is bad for you. Even the healtiest of foods.

If your soy milk label reads: Contains estrogen, Soy bean…..etc
Then there is an issue. Is this question based on fact? What brand of soy milk do you drink? I am pretty sure that there are not female hormones in Soy milk. Soy Beans don’t have estrogen in them- Therefore, the hormones would have to be inserted during processing.There are some hormones in soy, but they are not estrogen. If there ARE female hormones in you milk- drink it in moderation- though I highly doubt that there are.
Sorry, i don’t know of any products that contain testosterone- but I do implore you to continue to drink soy products.
Soy = fer rickin delicious man.

you would have to drink A LOT of soymilk for it to effect you.

a glass or two a day wont hurt.

Soy is a bean. It does contain something that mimics estrogen, not estrogen though. The concern may come in when babies fed strict soy formulas may be given large amounts of estrogen since its their only diet. As far as your consumption of soy milk, you are fine. You have no reason to worry AT ALL. Also, men naturally all have estrogen anyways, did you know that? You already have some of it so its not something totally new to man. Oysters and red meats contain zinc and produce a lot of testosterone. Thats why people call them natural aphrodesiacs, although who knows if its enough to really make some reaction happen lol.

YES IT”S ALRIGHT! It might even be better for you. There are plenty of vegans and vegetarians and people allergic to dairy that eat and drink soy every day. It is all right! don’t worry! I know some champion male athletes that don’t eat a lot of dairy and replace it with soy.

PS. if you like soy try morning star brand food.

is that myth still floating around?

that’s as bad as the whole meat has soluable protein in it.

i’m a guy, been drinking and eating soy since a toddler.

i’m fine.

6ft. tall.. well developed as the doctors call it… and um.. “fortified in the junk category” so the girlfriends had said and now wife says over the years.

that is a myth.

soy IS NOT harmful.

lmfao.. soy has female hormones in it? how? foods with testosterone? ok… yeh, riiight.

now just stop listening to that propaganda.

eat your soy.

that has soluable proteins in it…

among other fruits, veggies, nuts, grains (unprocessed) so on…

Sot has been shown to increase cancer risk and deform young males reproductive organs.

A lot of foods contain Estrogen other than just soy. You eat these things everyday without issue. Further more there is a rather large difference between consuming estrogen in your diet and that of an estrogen pill or supplement.

Interestingly it is near impossible to get a vitamin toxicity through natural foods, your body will simply not process these things, it is through the use of supplements and enrichment that one can get vitamin toxicity.

The particular study that made the claim that soy milk consumption lowers male sperm count was inaccurate in any event.It lowers the sperm concentration (ie same sperm count, more ejaculate)…not the count.

It’s safe if you don’t overdue it. Nothing is good to eat in excess.
Soy-not tofu, contains estrogen. Though I doubt not enough to do anything.
There’s plenty of hormones in processed meats too, and people still eat it.

it’s ideal,and shown to reduce the risk of prostate cancer in men.

It is fine. There is nothing that will change you at all I drink soy and eat soy (all in moderation usually as with everything though sometimes I go to town and have a lot) and it hasn’t affected me other than I guess I feel and look healthier and feel a bit better about myself. Also I don’t think you have to worry about becoming a female (not that there is anything wrong with that because there damn well isn’t and not saying that you said there is anything wrong with that but just so there is no offenses on any sides) unless you really eat and drank a lot of soy in quantities that would end up making you fat and probably not so healthy and you might end up getting sick though that would happen from over eating anything. My advice stay away from eating 3 5 pound blocks of tofu everyday and don’t drink 3 gallons of soy milk daily and you shouldn’t have any problems. Soy is good for you and can taste really good if you take the time and effort to make it really good.
I have had it cold with vegan mushroom “oyster” sauce and it was great though you could probably use a mushroom soy sauce just the same, I might also add some scallions (green onions) and you have a delicious little snack or even part of a salad or something else delicious.

the asian population has been consuming soy products for thousands of years…

bad info from the marketing PR dept….truth will cost the dairy industry $$ when people get healthy and stop with the cow juice…

if you are so worried of hormones then you best stop consuming dairy products before you need a bra…there is a whole lot of hormones in that….
