Are soy products causing increased estrogen levels in men? causing men to be more feminine?

Question

I heard that soy products create a hormonal imbalance and increase the production of estrogen? making men more feminine and women extremely feminine...

Answer 1

I heard it was the hormones we pump into the cows that produce our milk and meat.  Men consuming a diet with extra estrogen will also have performance issues.  The estrogen counteracts their natural testosterone making things like Viagra necessary.....even MORE chemicals running through the body.

Solution:  eat organic, hormone free foods!

Answer 2

I doubt it , but  i noticed that a lot of the people in the Far East are very feminine . the way they look , the way they talk , the way they move and a lot of them are engaged in gayish activities maybe more than any other people .

Yes , they do take a lot of soy products , but i think you have to consider other things as well . for example they take a lot of noodles . does that have anything to do with it ?

I read once a study saying that if someone had an ejaculation of someone else in his anal , some of that s***n will interfere in the production of his own s***n , which simply means that some features of his own off-spring will be similar to the guy who ejaculated . i can't verify how true this can be , but another thing is that if you are g*y your children will likely have less manhood hormones .

The people in the far east have been under a lot of occupations from many nations and most of the population were subject to rape and sexual abuse from their occupiers and now we see a lot of their new generations hit with the problem of less hormones .

All of this is only a speculation for the sake of the debate . no information is solid

Answer 3

As a serious, scientific response, yes, soy products do raise serologic oestrogen (estrogen as per American English), however, it has yet to be established that average portion sizes of soy-based products result in a significant alteration in secondary sexual features (bioassay) in females.  There is some literature (I don't have citations readily at my disposal, regrettably) which confirms that diets high in soy will decrease the degree of lean muscle mass associated with resistance training in male athletes, however, again there's not been ample evidence of alteration of secondary sexual features in the male, as of yet, consuming typical quantities of soy-based products.

Answer 4

Your statement is true to a small extent.

Soy bean products do increase the estrogen level of people which includes men. But it is really really minor and negligible in affecting the hormonal balance in a man. The guy's testes are more than sufficient to correct the imbalance. Soy products do not really affect the masculinity of a man so no worries :)
