About soy!!

I've seen a great debate in the web about the dangers of soy being consumed by man.
They say if you use it regularly you will become gay,grow breasts and even worse, SHRINK YOUR COCK!! because it has isoflavones, a substance that mimics the female hormone estrogen.
Is that true or bla-bla-bla?
So im calling all men who uses soy of any type,
is soy causing you any of these side-effects?
Please post your experiences.

Hey, I'd like to see what the answers are going to be. I used to drink chocolate Silk a lot but I stopped when I heard those bad things about soy. Since then I have been wondering if it's true what they say or if it's something that was made up by dairy farmers.

Men should stay away from Soy it contains a natural Estrogen which is a Female Hormone. Do some reading. It can really cause problems for a man.

Yup. Been saying this for a very long time...stay clear of soy or at least limit your intake if a guy. But great for women for all kinds of reasons. They should be consuming it often to help with, among other things, improving bone mass.

wow! I'm glad I found this out. Used to be a soy milk drinker, and also had some, let's say hormonal issues (no sex drive, slow facial hair growth, stuff like that). Now I know to stay away from the stuff. Thanks guys for the heads up

Really now? I used to eat sooo much tofu, drink sooo much silk, an dI still eat soy-joy bars. :s Maybe that explains my PMS/Moodiness? >_> First time I've heard anything negative about it. I even consume SoY Lecithin. :x

Edit: And I can't live without Edamame! ;~; (Soy beans)

I've always been slow to grow hair on my body, which I'm thankful for. So maybe I should continue.

Ive just about lived off soy my whole life (lactose intolerant) and when i found out about that side effect i changed over to Rice milk. since the change ive noticed my penis has started growing, its around 7.5x5.5 now.

im not sure about if its made me gay, but im unsure of my sexual preferences, so lest just say bi for now ;)

How old are you?

im only 18. went off soy when i was 17.

Soy does have natureal estrogene, but not enough to create any "noticeable" side effects. I have been a vegetarian all my life, with tofu as a staple in my diet. I have not grown breasts, nor do i have any penis shrinkage, i don't suffer pms symptoms, nor do I panic from urban legends.

Moose ,then its was because youre still young and is still in the growing age.
i've became interested i soy protein because im a bodybuilder and i need tons of protein, and soy is very much cheaper.
but im afraid of gaining tits and lose my penis

I love chocolate soy milk and have been drinking it for years with no bad effects

I'm allergic to soy, and the health food made of it makes me sick.

Eating soy will cause my intestines to loosen to the "squirt" mode and I will me numb and verbally dyslexic for about four days.

Sorry, burger and mushrooms and onions with hot sauce for me.

I'm allergic to soy, peanuts and other legumes. Health food makes me sick.

Give me a decent burger, cheese and hot sauce and tomatoes and tell the health food guys I ain't coming back. Sorry, allergies before healthful sensibilities. When I'm affected by soy, my bowels and intestines loosen up, turn to liquid and squirt. I lose the ability to concentrate properly for three to four days. I feel numb all over. I become verbally dyslexic.

Seafood is good too. And dumbcow....mmm, burgers....

Not allergic to it but I did go through a spell of soaking my noodles in lots of soy sauce...

Interesting that soy is a key component of the Oriental diet...
