Will boys swap their trousers for tutus?
There have been those who have claimed that the 'estrogens' in soy are feminising and will cause our sons and husbands to exchange their rugby boots for high heels.
Genghis Khan and samurai warriors were real 'wimps' weren't they? The plant-based or phytoestrogens in soy help prevent the hormone disruptive effects of the real bad guys, which are the excess internally produced estrogens, and the outside mimics or xenoestrogens.
These insidious hormone disruptors are a likely contributor to the growing incidence of subfertility in both men and women. The highest food source of xenoestrogens – which are fat soluble so they get stored in animal and human fat – are dairy products followed by beef. An incontrovertible way of producing your own excess estrogen – whether male or female – is to be obese. Body fat produces estrogen and in excess this is related to cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, plus gastrointestinal, bone and joint problems.
