MEN - if your mom ate a lot of soy during pregnancy, or you did as a child, did it make your penis smaller?

Question

I'm wondering if there is any truth to this theory, why someone would say something like this, and men.... is it really true? The average penis size is 6-7 inches long. If you ate a lot of soy as a child, or your mom did during pregnancy, were you affected? Please respond with why your mom or you ate soy - were you allergic to milk and needing an alternative? How small are we talking about here?

OK - 9 people have answered already. See... I think this theory is hogwash too. But I work for the Health Department - WIC to be exact - and we do not offer soy alternatives to people who are allergic to milk (except formula) which I think is really bad. Because I am allergic to milk (not lactose intolerance - actual allergy - different symptoms). I have heard my co-workers STRONGLY advising clients against eating soy products like tofu during pregnancy or feeding it to their kids because some bozo did some study to link soy and small adult penis size. I just think it's ridiculous because they are recommending lactose free milk products to people who are ALLERGIC to milk (not lactose intolerant) - I think this is dangerous. And if you are ALLERGIC to milk, you need to eat some kind of alternative - like how can some kid go through life without the joy of ice cream, when they make a soy "ice cream" that's actually somewhat decent. I just think there's too much junk info out there

Answer 1

My brother was allergic to dairy products and we both had asthma, we grew up on soy products until we were over 12.
I have an average size, and he does too. I've never heard of this and doubt it true what so ever

Answer 2

There is no doubt that what a person eats can effect the genes of their decendents.

Look up Dr. Pottinger and cats on the internet and have a disturbing education in that. Learn how what you eat
(especially cooked or pasturized milk and cooked meats being some of them) can make your children and grandchildren and great grandchildren statistically significant effect on the number of offspring one has that are Heterosexual perverted or Homosexually oritented.

This is not an attack on Homosexuality. the studies pottinger did sugest that food can cause your generations to fail. IN other words many seperate populations fed various diets never were able to produce a fifth generation becaeu they were all sterile and sexually over active or homosexual to the point of never producing off spring.

That study is not known by most ofus. OUr scientific comunity in its ignorance rejected this good wel made science., But if there is any science that is valid those studies are.

What you eat effects your ability to pass on things to your children.

That soy has any bad side effects relating to transmission of sexual organ size I do not know.

I'm wondering where you heard this? That's funny. My mom is a vegetarian who ate and still eats lots of soy products. I ate them all through childhood and puberty. I was not affected by soy consumption in either case. That has more to do with overall nutrition of mother and child during critical stages of development during pregnancy, exposure to hormones, and genetics. This "theory" is not a theory at all and has no scientific data to support it. It was started by Megashift Ministries chairman James Rutz, who also made claims that soy decreased a man's masculinity which decreased penis size and redirected sexual orientation. He's a fool.

Answer 4

i have heard that it can make the penis smaller and the boys will grow breasts.also tea tree oil and lavender have been blamed with this.and research has also shown circumcision to reduce penis girth and length up to an inch.

One hundred and two were circumcised, 43 were not, and two men did not answer. The uncircumcised penises had slightly larger circumferences, but the difference was not significant (2mm behind the coronal ridge and 4mm at the glans). There was a significant difference in length, with the uncircumcised men haing a mean length 8 mm greater than the circumcised (t=2.06, p<0.05). Insufficient residual foreskin in some circumcised men may have tethered their erections."

Answer 5

I believe the comment, the real culprit is DDT, If you didn't wash the veggies real well, or you applied DDT in the field, Your child might grow up with the same size penis that he was born with

Not the food itself ; but the poisons on/in the food.

The last time searched this topic, there were some boys in Washington State that had this problem I forgot the female reproductive part the was destroyed

Answer 6

I have never heard of that before, but I do know that men eating too much soy is bad for them because soy has estrogen and it gets men's hormones out of balance.

So maybe it is possible to reduce your penis size by you mother consuming too much soy while pregnant with a boy.

Answer 7

I heard this too. I did some research on this topic on the internet and it appears to be true. Most men would not admit to having a small penis though. LOL. I would not risk giving soy to my son and have him mad at me later in life.

Answer 8

genuine, besides the undeniable fact that it in reality one among various factors. it truly is an significant one, between the different factors. Your ability to boost to particular dimensions is genetic; and your well being contained in the early existence is critically significant. this may comprise your months as an embryo and a fetus, and your well being again then could count number on a healthful mom. See those ravenous babies contained in the Sudan? They genetically may be tall, smart, and robust. yet regrettably, they isn't able to achieve their genetic ability, regardless of the truth that in the journey that they live to inform the tale. As for basketball, your skills to construct and boost your muscle tissues and reflexes are also genetic; yet they in reality mark a accessible. To actualize the optimal of your ability, you are able to artwork-out without end, practice without end, and play basketball without end. you may no longer develop into tall sufficient to be a center; yet reliable aspect-guards are confusing to discover. Have a blast and income from what you've been given. it truly is how the game is gained.

Answer 9

No way to even test that one. I am assuming it is the estrogen properties of soy that made someone come up with this theory. So do vegetarians have dinky winkies?

Answer 10

Never heard that one before, soy wasnt big when i was a baby. I thought the only way to make it smaller is thinking of George Bush etc.
