There's was an urban myth that eating it semi regularly or even once will jack up your estrogen and make you trans.

I mean that's bullshit though like if you eat soy everyday for breakfast lunch and dinner I can see the logic. But if you go to a Japenise place a dozen so times a year and you eat something with tofu then your estrogen raising is bullshit. If you're a man and you're worried a serving of tofu is gonna make your balls shrink then your T must already be at floor level as it is.

Ya at the same rate a banana will give you radiation sickness. Your natural T should already be balanced enough that a fucking tofu salad wouldn't do anything. We're talking about a study that isn't reoccuring with a sample size too small to be definitive, with an effect so unnoticeable that there has never been a case of hormone imbalance being caused by soy. It'd have to be an exception not a rule. If you're that worried about estrogen then you would have cut out beer from your diet sooner because that definitively causes a spike in estrogen that's far more noticeable.

It's more that soy is being used as a filter for everything these days. I mean it's a crop that you alternate with corn so it's cheap af. Like hfcs it's not inherently bad but when it's in fucking everything is not great

I swear the first person I saw talking this shit was a guy who also talks about breathing into your balls and screaming. If eating tofu once in a while is going to cause a hormonal imbalance your endocrine system is already fucked by micro plastics.

Because soy milk is made by just soaking beans in water and cooking them. Just as rice milk is just soaking rice and cooking it. Almond milk isn't any better.
They're worthless marketing products.
They're saturated with pesticides which escape all Western quality control.

They help people who are overweight and women suffering from eating disorders related to distorted self-images (histrionic personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, fibromyalgia, etc.). That's it really.

Yes, but in the manner than this anon says >>17919150
It was largely perpetuated by the stereotypical person who requests soy milk is picrel and are the same people who virtue signal on social media about drinking Soylent
However excessive consumption of something like soylent WILL have a hormonal effect.
This is why soy milk has been medically prescribed to menopausal women for decades to increase their oestrogen in an nonintrusive manner.

tldr: too much of anything is bad but eating an occasional Ma Po Tofu isn't

Soy is fine, the price of meat is slowly being artificially pushed up sky high in order to encourage more people to eat soy based protein instead of real meat for environmental reasons, but this will only affect normal people like you or me, billionaires will continue to feast on meat while you can only afford goyslop.
