Does soy stuff contain alot of estrogen?

Question

What other stuff contians alot of estrogen?

Answer 1

It doesn't contain any more than meat.

When U.S. and Canadian beef cattle go to feedlots, hormone pellets are implanted under the ear skin, a process that is repeated at the midpoint of their 100-day fattening period. The hormones increase the weight of the cattle, adding to profits by about $80 per animal.

The most common hormone in current use is estradiol, a potent cancer-causing and gene-damaging estrogen. The FDA maintains that residues of estradiol and other hormones in meat are within "normal" levels, and has waived any requirements for monitoring and chemical testing.

Answer 2

It's not estrogen per se, but a compound that mimics the effect of estrogen in one's body.

Answer 3

I wouldn't say it contains a lot. It's not actual estrogen anyway, it's unconcentrated phytoestrogen. Basically all the studies done showing that soy is bad for your health have used concentrated phytoestrogen, so they aren't really accurate. I wouldn't be too worried about it, just make sure you only eat soy products in moderation, just like any other food.

Answer 4

Soy contains phytoestrogens not estrogens ,which actually prevent hormonal  imbalance caused by an excess of estrogens.
