Not really true but ok

Wow, I don't even know where to begin with all the debunked fearmongering in that article.

God I wish growing tits was as easy as chugging soy milk

A GMO soup only its a burger.


---

A cursory scan through the front page makes it clear that it's a tabloid of the lowest order.

May as well start liking the onion as a source to prove stupid ass points if were gonna stoop this low

I typically eat four Impossible Whoppers a day, while washing them down with six glasses of soy milk. My new titties look like @_Matchabuu_

phytoestrogens aren't mammalian estrogen. they barely have any effect and can actually help you regulate your excess estrogen if you have any

I tried to look this place up to see if it was a parody site or something. I couldnt find shit about the site at all. Just by looking at the headlines on the front page Im going to assume this news site is some bullshit.

---

No one has ever claimed it's healthy, just that it's an alternative for people with plant based diets. It's like yelling that non-dairy ice creams are still unhealthy. Like, no shit.

---

But hey, it's banging the soy drum again. Despite it being thoroughly debunked.

---

I want to believe a Doctor would not be so disingenuous enough to fearmonger by misrepresenting facts.

phytoestrogen is a plant estrogen, NOT a mammalian estrogen.

Controlled studies have demonstrated that neither soy protein nor isoflavones affect reproductive hormone concentrations (testosterone or estrogen) in men even as the amount of soy protein or isoflavone supplements consumed in these studies greatly exceeded typical dietary intake.

Hamilton-Reeves, J.M.; Vazquez, G.; Duval, S.J.; Phipps, W.R.; Kurzer, M.S.; Messina, M.J. et al. Clinical studies show no effects of soy protein or isoflavones on reproductive hormones in men: results of a meta-analysis. Fertil. Steril. 2010, 94(3), 997.

I'd believe it if there was a link/proof to this doctor/study claim and if this site was reputable. Look at the writers pic and browse the website in general.

---

Remember when those 1990s anti-psychotic meds gave men estrogen too?

---

i thought the whole soyboy thing was debunked...

fuck it, lets just spread misinfornation to cause fear once again!

People fearing their dicks falling off cause they eat soy is just hilarious

---

Most man boobs arent even from soy, its primarily because they are overweight and all that excess fat goes to other places like your chest and thighs.

He has previously written for Big League Politics, has had bylines at Breitbart News, and is a regular guest on The Alex Jones Show.

This all needs to be said about the author.

---

Why are right wing loser types obsessed with this pseudoscience surrounding soy and estrogen and shit

---

The BK version of the impossible burger is, objectively, worse than a regular whopper. It has way more sodium, way less protein, more cholesterol, and is somehow higher calorie. Whatever they do the the "impossible" formula to make it taste like a regular whopper, it completely kills whatever health benefits it would otherwise have.

Estrogen is estrogen. Unless you can actually prove your point.

Fun fact: beef and dairy have actual mammal estrogen

---

NationalFile? lets check out some articles they have...

Oh, its a Super Conservative blog site....makes sense...and yea the point of "Impossible" meat isn't that its healthy. no one ever claims that, BK doesn't claim that. Its just something some people developed as an alternative to meat/killing animals and its progressed so well that restaurants are adding it to their menu as an alternative for Vegetarians that isn't a bean burger. "well why would a vegetarian even want to eat meat then!?"...I know some people who, due to religion, can't eat meat on certain days. This is also an alternative for them....and a regular every day vegetarian can still like the taste of it, there's nothing wrong with that...but no one ever said it was a "healthier" option so i don't know where s0nic is getting that from...

And plants have plant estrogen. They have the same chemical shape, meaning it fits perfectly in to your body's receptor slots.

Duncan, clearly a paragon of masculinity and healthiness, constantly trying to attack vegans and soy will never not be hilarious to me

Absolute fucking horseshit lmao close your account TC

Duncan has been on a roll of terrible takes these past 24 hours....like even for him. Its pretty interesting.

Phytoestrogens are bad estrogens when in surplus and can actually convert men's testosterone into estrogen. Fermented soy products have no phytoestrogens and are safer than non-fermented, which is found in basically any commercial product you can think of... candy, chips, breads, frozen dinners, and prepared foods.

Not to mention the levels of glyphosate from the GMO crops that can accumulate and wreak havoc and cause all sorts of cancers.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3655573/

In spite of many limitations in conducting well-designed human studies, information gathered from already published ones combined with the large number of animal studies already available, clearly demonstrate that phytoestrogens have the ability to influence the reproductive performance of an adult.
