Is it true that soy products, including soy milk, contain estrogen...that can make a man grow b***s?

Question

I would like to know.........because i would hate for that to happen to me.

Answer 1

Men produce levels of ACTUAL HUMAN ESTROGENS. Soy contains PHYTO-ESTROGENS or plant estrogens that have a very weak effect on people. Even if soy contained a significant amount of actual estrogen, our bodies endocrines systems would decrease production of the hormone to balance it out. I would be shocked to hear that soy is the only plant that produces phytoestrogens. It's a bean, it's not an alien plant species.

No man has ever grown b*****s because of soy. Everyone should be more worried about the cocktail of hormones that are found naturally in cows' milk and the flesh of mammals that they eat if they are worried at all.

Answer 2

Yes,

they make your b***s bigger.

Answer 3

No. Lack of exercise will do it though.

Answer 4

If it was true then most men from China and Japan would have b*****s.

Answer 5

Soy proteins contain isoflavones that can mimic a weak oestrogen effect. It's not the same as the oestrogen the body makes - it is 1,000 times weaker than the body's oestrogen.

There are other plants that contain oestrogen too.

There is no scientific evidence that soy will cause males to develop b*****s, and as far as I'm aware there's not a single case of it having done so.

Answer 6

They contain a very minuscule amount of estrogen, not enough to make me grow b***s.

Answer 7

Yes. It is true.  Soy protein raises estrogen levels.  If you have man b***s, here's what you can do about it...

You do have some options.

- Inclined chest press will tighten the chest while building muscle to fill in the loose, fatty skin.

- eating Turmeric (a spice that's in the ginger family) will balance hormones to decrease nipple puffyness and help you burn remaining chest fat.

- Do 20 minutes of intense cardio (no more, no less) every day.

- Avoid soy protein & marijuana (they raise estrogen levels)

- obviously avoid fatty foods.
