Protein drink and lactose-free milk in Taiwan

Uhm yeah but soy milk is a girls drink. It gives you girl hormones… or something. Without Googling, I am always hesitant about too much soy intake because associations with female hormone production.

Lol wtf

No it doesn’t. You should read up … or something.

Start here!

Neither soy nor isoflavone intake affects male reproductive hormones: An...

It is irrefutable that soy has estrogenic properties. Make of that what you will. For example, doctors in Taiwan recommend that women with breast cancer reduce in-take of soy.

I looked for research:
“Total and free testosterone concentrations were inversely correlated with soy product intake after controlling for the covariates, but these correlations were of borderline significance”
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1207/s15327914nc3601_3

“Borderline significant associations” … “total testosterone” …

While the jury is out I rather err on the side of caution and not get most of my proteins from soy.

These were the first two matches on Google scholar. That is about enough reading for one night.

It’s not, but whatever. I don’t like Brussels sprouts because they’re the devil.

They serve only soy protein in prisons in the states… not sure why, probably because it’s cheap or something.

Myth 1: Eating soy increases risk of breast cancer

The compounds in soybeans driving this myth are called isoflavones. Isoflavones are phytoestrogens: plant compounds that act like estrogen in some parts of the body. The concern is that breast cancer risk and/or growth increases when estrogen is present. Phytoestrogens are not, however, the same as the hormone estrogen. While isoflavones may act like estrogen, they also have antiestrogen properties that can block natural estrogens, stopping estrogen formation. Multiple studies have shown no association between soy and breast cancer, and some suggest it may protect against it.

Myth 2: Soy reduces testosterone levels and causes feminization in men

This myth originates from studies showing impaired ability to produce offspring in male rats who were given high doses of phytoestrogens. However, rodents metabolize soy isoflavones differently than we do and the results of the rat studies haven’t been duplicated in male humans. A review of several clinical studies concluded that isoflavone-rich soy does not affect free testosterone levels or estrogen levels in men.

I would think lactose free milk would be more common here, considering that many Asians are lactose intolerant.

Not surprisingly we ended up with non dairy milks as a cheap normal standard. loads around. from shute to excellent.

Unfortunately the fashion pubas have gotten ahold of the whole vegan and healthy fads and made things like oat milks that were cheap before a new and prosperous racket

After moving here I started drinking soy milk. I was crying all the time. My boobs got much, much larger. I really felt prissy and soft. Just my personal experience.

[Taiwan_Luthiers]

You sure? last time I saw you I don’t see any man boobs…

Everybody knows that.

My last gf observed I had bigger tits than she did.

[Taiwan_Luthiers]

Either she has very small tits or you changed a lot.

Masculinity really is so fragile that it must be protected at all costs

[stinsonlover]

I didn’t say I didn’t like all of the sobbing, huge tits, and feeling soft and prissy.

Maybe it’s more healthy for them, try keep people healthy with good minds

[Gain]

I have soy milk literally every day and I literally can’t remember the last time I sobbed or felt soft, whatever that means.

@Gain

Just get soy milk. It’s cheaper than milk and you can find it everywhere.

How much cheaper? The almost 4 liters of Kirkland milk are like 210/220? Milk have more protein too.

[Gain]

I usually get it from 7-11 and 1 litre is like 40.
