Is Soy Safe to Eat?

Many articles, including several in this newsletter, have touted the health benefits of soy which are largely related to plant estrogens (phytoestrogens) called isoflavones. In addition, the Food and Drug Administration recently approved a health claim for the cholesterol-lowering effects of soy protein. But is there a limit to how much soy is good for us?

Hell, I'm already a C-cup from 40yrs of lifting. I don't need any larger tits.

These are real men's breasts. Not augmented. It's a condition called Gynecomastia. It's also called "bitch tits....
...One of the sometimes discussed aspects of soybeans, in particular, is their action as a pseudo-estrogen. In recent pro-soy literature you find this promoted as beneficial But I wonder if anyone thinks that it's a mere coincidence that Americans are fatter than ever just as soybeans and soybean oil is booming in popularity as a "health" food. More frightening is the emerging phenomenon of so-called "bitch tits" on men in this country. It seems to be an epidemic. Some people associate this with hormones in beef, but that practice was stopped. 20 years ago you could find steers growing udders because of the practice. But that's over and there needs to be an explanation for this new trend. Could it be soybean oil? Tofu? Soy protein?

Heck, the Japanese and many other Asians eat soy all the time and I didn't see many man-boobs in Asia. Eating tofu and other soy products is surely better for you than the hormone filled beef most people eat in the USA!

That's how Bob got his. He was a juicer. You know that chest expansion program you see advertised on late night TV? He came up with that.
