Soya milk and estrogen

[Dr. JK]

I herd from a close friend of mine BB, that soya milk contains estrogen and that it's bad for men.

What is the deal on that, cause I have been drinking it with protein shakes..

Thanks

Any soya products can mimic estrogen except fermented ones. Soy protein isolate is the absolute worst I hear. Just eat fermented soy and you will only get the positive effects of soy (soy sauce, miso, and etc).

I am not familiar with the types of soya out there. The ones or brands I have been buyinh are SO GOOD. How do I know if it contains estrogen?

Also in relation to my other post, will protein shakes with just water be absorbed by the body if they are low in fat or will they just go "right through me"??

Thanks in advance

Soy beans itself naturally have estrogen prohormones and you cant escape it unless you eat fermented soy. Like I said, stuff like miso and soy sauce are the ones that are fermented. Tofu, soy milk, soy protein, soy beans, and etc are NOT fermented.

In ancient times, soy products were only eaten in times of famine to prevent starving to death. Japanese women fed their husbands tofu when they suspected their husbands of having an affair (haha).

Protein in water will be absorbed faster. Unless you have digestion problems, it will all get absorbed.
