Highly controversial, soy is often touted as a protein-rich wonder food able to rescue humans from our dependence on meat and prevent heart disease. Yet for others, soy is no more than a hyped-up marketing ploy created by an industry determined to mislead gullible consumers for the almighty dollar. Nevertheless, over the past two decades soy and soy by-product consumption has dramatically increased — and so have numerous diseases.
Some studies suggest too much soy in the diet can reduce fertility in women, trigger premature puberty and disrupt development of fetuses and children. And now, men too may be negatively affected by consuming soy. A new study finds that isoflavones — compounds that mimic the female sex hormone estrogen — may be linked to cancer in men. Here’s why men should think twice about including soy in their diet.
1. Increases your risk for advanced prostate cancer 2. Soy may harm fertility in men 3. Most soy grown in the U.S. is genetically modified
>Highly controversial Only among western broscientists >soy is no more than a hyped-up marketing ploy created by an industry determined to mislead gullible consumers for the almighty dollar Also true, at least in the west, where it isn't a staple like it is in Asia >1. Increases your risk for advanced prostate cancer Everything increases your risk for cancer >2. Soy may harm fertility in men It 'may' also let you shoot laser beams out of your dick, just as much evidence >3. Most soy grown in the U.S. is genetically modified Oh no, science.
It's a fucking BEAN. Just don't LIVE off of it like some retarded autist, any human diet wholly dependent on a single ingredient or substance is inherently foolish. We are omnivorous for a reason.
Drinking soy milk literally made me gay. I blame the Jews.

>No statistically significant associations were observed between the intake of total isoflavones and individual phytoestrogens and non-advanced and total prostate cancer after adjustment for confounders. >This study revealed that dietary intake of isoflavones was associated with an elevated risk of advanced prostate cancer. What did they mean by this?

Why didn't you keep reading, friendo?

"We wasted our time doing this study but want to publish it and pretend we found something out anyway"
Academic research is a fucking joke, it sickens me how much of a goddamn puppy mill it's turned into. You can create the most bogus papers and sell them to fly by night digital publishers.
Grayson Nguyen
Ok, I have. Still no mention of soy milk. Pic related, you are still a retard.
Liam Sullivan
Who...are you quoting here? Do you not realize that the point of meme arrows is to only be an automated function when you create a quote? Just abusing the code of Veeky Forums isn't acceptable... come on. Grow up.

You're not proving anything by lying on the internet. Just google soy and cancer, guy.

None of those people are the same. Stop being a new ledditor and learn how to id samefags. Holy fuck.
>greentext is for quoting This is below the level of retardation I expect from an average soyposter.

That doesn't look like a link to Veeky Forums. I could be wrong, but I don't think I am. Please show me a rule that details how it's ok to abuse the rules. Thanks.

Thank you for no longer abusing the quote function. I can tell you came to your senses, at least on this topic. Sad!
Also I don't know what you're implying with the gumball shit picture you posted.

C'mon doc, what's with these part-strength doses? I'm getting by but it ain't easy.
Also, thanks.

Well I mean it can still help in a way so the same study isn't repeated, yeah academia generally likes to publish stuff that actually shows data that was worthwhile, but I'd still say in some cases publishing data that might not have something amazing to say can still be important in just creating more known literature.
Isaiah Cruz
Repeating studies is a necessary part of science.
Colton Gonzalez
Fun fact × 2:
1)The samurai, heavy soy eaters were arguably the greatest mano a mano warriors in the history of man.
2)Vietcong forces would alter their course to avoid a company of south koreans (heavy soy eaters) and prefer to face a battalion of limp wristed amerifats.
But you go /pol/gril, and you do you.
Gabriel Mitchell
Neither of those are facts though.
Christian Reyes
Hell, they're anti-facts. Lies that damage the truth. Samurai were devastated by Portuguese fencers; and that was before they started unlocking the chests with firearms. One of Japan's most legendary warriors watched and imitated them to win many duels.
Benjamin Stewart
fuck off back to /r9k/ fucking frogposter
Robert Richardson
x2? Unlocking the chests? Vietcong vs south korea?
Have video games replaced history textbooks for millennials? I guess too much controversy over this radical new "evolution" theory or the provocative libcuck nonsense about how the civil war was about slavery so they had to let the free market sort it out.

Daily reminder that soy reduces estrogen in women and men and plays a healthy role in reducing prostate cancer and breast cancer. OP is just a /pol/tard. Do your own research folks.
Jordan Morgan
>one study no link I can provide plenty of studies showing the opposite you tard
Jacob Cruz
Show one, I fucking dare you. There aren't any.
Eli Myers
You've been called out as not being able to show a single one. Inb4 that one study that was funded by the beef industry and has been debunked 100,000 times.
The only time they mention diet as a factor, they list meat and dairy, not soy. The only mention of soy in that link is under the "prevention" section, where they say that soy isoflavones are currently being investigated as a potential way to *decrease* prostate cancer risk.
"The inverse relation between soy food intake and sperm concentration was more pronounced in the high end of the distribution (90th and 75th percentile) and among overweight or obese men"
So tl;dr don't eat shitloads of soy when you're trying to have a kid, and don't be a fat-ass.
Also note that this is specifically looking at men in a fertility clinic, and as-such does not represent the effect of soy on the population as a whole; it's possible, for example, that there are a subset of people who have genetic factors that make them unusually sensitive to soy isoflavones, and who would be over-represented in fertility clinics.

Parents used to cheap out and mix soy protein with textured soy meat and I grew manboobs. Just an anecdote but hey, if I ever have kids I wouldn't do the same.
Jayden King
Fuck, I meant mix ground beef with textured soy meat.
John Smith
Gynecomastia is very common these days and there is nothing indicating that soy consumption is causing it. Do you drink a lot of alcohol?
