Is this 'health food' turning you into a woman?

[radkin]

Estrogen-like compounds called phytoestrogens found in soya, tofu
and legumes bind to estrogen receptors, decrease sperm counts and
have feminizing effects. British scientists identified a chemical
called genistein, which depressed sperm counts and sperm activity
in rats and humans. Pregnant women who eat these foods may be
impacting the future fertility of their sons. Phytoestrogens -
found in many foods and environmental pollutants - may be a major
concern to bodybuilders because they decrease testosterone levels
and exert estrogen-like effects. Athletes who knowingly eat
phytoestrogens in their diets could impair training gains and make
it more difficult to cut body fat. At this point, we don't know
enough about these chemicals to make recommendations to weight
trained athletes.

P.s check ou your protein supplements as some cheap ones contain cheap soya protein to boost their protein content.

Reminds me of this girl in my class. I'm drinking a coffey and it's completely black. No sugar.

She goes, your drinking it fully black? I'm like, yes, it hits harder, soemthing wrong with that? She tell me afterwards; oooh, no that's good. Sugar is bad for you, so is coffey, I don't drink any, but that's your thing.. I'm really into health.

I look at her hand, and she's holding a cigaret. I tell her, pointing at the cig.. '' Yah, cause sugar and coffey give you lung cancer now ''

and left to go home.. lol

Tofu and Soya have always had female hormones. It's naturally occuring.

It's no big deal, just means all male veggies have tits.
