Is it true that soy milk has a lot of estrogen in it?

Question

If so could this cause any problems if i drank it every day?

Answer 1

There is no evidence that the phytoestrogen in soy will feminize men if they don't already have hormone deficiencies.

1. Why is China the most populated country in the world? They have been using soy products longer than anyone else.

2. Why doesn't soy milk have a label that reads: "Warning: The Surgeon General has determined that soy products can cause men to be gay and grow man boobs." If it was a serious problem it would be done. When an artificial sweetener is found to cause cancer, it's taken off the market. Why don't they take soy off the market if it's so dangerous?

3. I have been eating large amounts of soy for 30 years or so, and I can say all my parts are still in excellent working order. If I was so feminine, at least I would still have hair on my head.

4. There is misinformation about food in the media all the time; it's no wonder people get confused. Some corporations may deliberately distort statistics for their own purposes. The anti soy propaganda may be funded by the meat industry, for example.

Soy Estrogen I didn't suppose it might get easier than the edamame, and then-- it did! Just hunt for roasted soy nuts at your food market. The instructions for eating these? Take them out of the bag and put them in your mouth. a pair of. Smoothies five. Miso If you're trying for an easy breakfast or a refreshing snack, smoothies are a nice plan. They are simple to create, healthful, and delicious. Get the soy in your smoothie with soy milk or soy protein powder (you'll notice this at health food stores). I like blending my soy milk and protein powder with frozen strawberries (It makes a nice texture!) or frozen bananas. Heck, you may even go crazy and combine it with frozen strawberries AND bananas! I recommend using fresh fruit that you have got frozen yourself. Those baggage of frozen fruit from the foodstuff taste quite fake, however if you're very during a rush, they can do the trick. three. Edamame This easy Japanese soup is tasty, and it has at least a serving of soy in every bowl. You'll either build this at home (not so easy), or choose some up at a native Asian restaurant (simple). It's time to rejoice, ladies! Getting your daily soy intake could be a great excuse for drinking a beautiful, cold glass of chocolate soy milk-- full of that nice soy milk estrogen! If you don't like chocolate (Do people like that even exist?), then you'll drink the vanilla soy milk or the unsweetened soy milk. I find that the chocolate and vanilla are nice on their own, but if you're going to drink the unsweetened soy milk, you may would like to offer it a boost of flavor. You'll be able to do that by making a smoothie. Thus, here are five simple ways that to urge your three daily servings of soy. You recognize the various edges of soy estrogen, you're trying to include this natural estrogen replacement into your diet, and you're wanting for easy ways in which to try to to it. Read on, my friends! It does not get much easier than this. Just purchase these fresh soy beans at the market, pop them within the microwave for some seconds, sprinkle them with salt, and they are ready to eat. If you've never had them before, you will be wondering a way to eat them. Don't eat the shell. The shell is not enjoyable to eat. You put the whole pod in your mouth and use your teeth to scrape out the 2 or 3 soy beans inside. 4. Soy Nuts

Answer 3

It has phytoestrogens in it, which are estrogen analogues.

I try to have as little soy as possible, it also has a few other bad things in it.

A lot of soy milk is pretty processed too. I try to eat whole foods and stay away from processed things.

Theres nothing in soy that cant be found from safer whole food alternatives, i dont think the risk is worth it.

Answer 4

Japanese people have been drinking soy milk for ages and nothing bad has happened to them yet. Japanese people tend to live longer and are less bulky than Americans; of course, this it isn't just because of the soy milk, but I do think it's a factor.

Answer 5

All soy products have natural plant estrogens, as do some soaps and lotions containing lavender and tea tree oils, but you would have to use a large amount of these products daily to build a high enough blood level to cause problems.
I guess if your breasts start to grow, you should stop using them!

Answer 6

Yes, soy is some scary stuff. Mass produced dairy isn't much better. Can you get raw, unhomogenized milk where you live? If not cow, perhaps goat. Or maybe something like the rice or almond "milks". They're not terribly healthy as far as being too sugary, but they make okay pancakes or cereal, etc.

Answer 7

Yes but not enough to cause damage. I would put a limit on my daily consumption of soy products if I was you.

Answer 8

I've read that it's true. My boyfriend drinks a lot of it every day, and he's very healthy.

Useless info: I read that because of this women who are vegans or who consume a lot of soy are much more likely to conceive girls than non-veg women.

Sorry, just thought it was interesting.

Answer 9

Drink away. That stuff is natural goodness. The Dairy Industry will have you think otherwise though. Milk vs Soy is big business!
