Is it true a soy diet can increase estrogen levels?

Kinda sorta notreally?

The thing with estrogen-like molecules in everything isn't that there's estrogen in everything.
Its that estrogen receptors are basicly molecular sluts that will bind with damn near anything.

If there is a 25% chance it does, would you still use it?

Soy milk is legit delicious so a glass once a week doesn't hurt

No.

soy and the whole 'soyboy' thing is so much more than just soy, its a mindset, a way of life

No.

Think of it this way: An estrogen molecule is like a jumbo jet that attaches to the Jetway of an airport. It discharges passengers into the terminal, which is suddenly a busy, noisy place. Phytoestrogens, being weak estrogens, are like small, private planes with few passengers and no cargo, yet they still occupy the Jetway after landing. When phytoestrogens occupy the cell, normal estrogens cannot. Plant estrogens do not eliminate all of estrogen's effects, but they do minimize them, apparently reducing breast cancer risk and menstrual symptoms
Soy isoflavones activate your body's estrogen receptors, proteins that detect the presence of estrogen and carry out effects such as changes in gene expression. However, isoflavones do so more weakly than your body's natural estrogen. If estrogen is absent, isoflavones weakly activate the estrogen receptor, mitigating the effect of low estrogen. If estrogen is abundant, isoflavones interfere with the activity of natural estrogen, limiting the effect of high estrogen levels. Since the structure of isoflavones is similar to estrogen, isoflavones may decrease your body's production of estrogen and increase the rate of estrogen degradation due to feedback mechanisms that control estrogen levels.

>implying I'm taking the risk

on the tangible side of things its the BPAs in plastics, the xenoestrogens in just about everything from food, toilet paper, personal hygiene products shampoo, soap, water, pesticides and such, the sedentary lifestyle, the growing obesity epidemic, the lack of physical occupations, the increasing power of global corporations etc

>implying there is any factual data anywhere that says soy negatively impacts testosterone and being such a tiny-brained dimwit that you must furiously post about soy all day

It's totally a meme

If there's enough spergs on Veeky Forums that believe it, the generally public might too, thus these. There's also snake-oil test boosters. Doesn't mean they work.

>menopause relief
>because it helps regulate menopause as it weakly activates estrogen receptors
Brainlet.

>Soybeans and processed soy foods are among the richest foods in total phytoestrogens (wet basis per 100 g), which are present primarily in the form of the isoflavones daidzein and genistein.[167]
>When compared to human breast fed or cow milk formula fed diets, which contain isoflavone levels of 0.005-0.01 mg/day, soy-based infant formulas contain isoflavone levels of 6–47 mg/day that constitute several orders of magnitude greater than they receive from other sources of nutrition.

Same fucking OP. Is there a war on soy here? I wonder what the cause it. Is Big Dairy scared of Big Soy?

Better safe than sorry ;)

>comparing soy ISOFLAVONES to MILK ISOFLAVONES

Hahahaha. Come back with a study.

high testosterone increases estrogen levels

I think OP has more things to worry about, as he reposts this thread in Veeky Forums, /pol/, and /fit almost every day. Trying to cope with your low testosterone OP?

For normal people? No, and it can in fact help balance your hormones.

But if you are going the distance to TRY and increase your estrogen levels then its technically possible, but you need to eat a fuck ton of it every single day, which you'd likely feel like shit from consuming that high of a concentration of protein.
Even worse is that the amount it would increase is terribly negligible, so you'd likely not notice much, if any difference anyway, only from a blood test on paper would you find out, and it would take hardly any time after stopping that regimen for everything to go back to normal.

drinking fuckin beer is worse

Its true

A fine explanation.

Nah
