Soja braucht der (schlanke) Mann nicht – Männerarzt

Soy is on everyone's lips. Literally. Because the soybean comes from the Far East, it is generally and unreflectingly attested to have a health-promoting effect. But this cannot be accepted so easily.
Soy contains substances with an estrogen-like effect. So it is a phytoestrogen, an estrogen derived from the plant world. Estrogens are the most important female sex hormones.
Phytoestrogens occupy estrogen receptors and produce an estrogen-like effect in men and women. And because they keep the body's own estrogen away from the receptor, but only have about 10% of the effect of the body's own estrogen, they reduce the effect of estrogen and can thus reduce estrogen-associated diseases.
So much for the biological background, which is only correct in women - and in overweight men.
Slim men, namely men with a body fat content of less than 16%, do not have any estrogen of their own, which would be detectable in the blood serum. When testing slim men for serum estrogen levels, the result is always the same: below the detection limit of 10 pg / ml.
Soy is definitely counterproductive for these men: because there is no endogenous hormone in the blood, the phytoestrogens in the soybean cannot keep it away from the receptor. So the following applies: In slim men, soy increases the estrogen effect.
Soy reduces the effects of estrogen in overweight men (and women). This could be seen as a positive effect, but it would be much better to work on reducing obesity. Several positive effects could be achieved in this way.
Summary: Soy is basically dispensable for men, and even counterproductive for slim men!
Protein shakes with soy milk are therefore not recommended for men.
The most unusual take from such a black pilled doctor is soy actually lowers estrogen in men that have a higher body fat % as it has much weaker estrogens and prevents the strongest ones from binding. Oh well at least he's giga blackpilled on slim body fat %, seriously.
