Want to avoid Soy like a cancer!

[Smokescreen]

Seems like everything has damn Soy in it! WTF is going on?! I don't want Soy in my body. Even protein powders have soy in them. Alex Rogers, owner or Protein Factory told me that ALL protein powders contain Soy. Its what makes them become "instanized". There's only one brand of protein powder that doesn't have Soy in it. But the stuff is expensive as hell!

So what the hell do I do?

Anyone here NOT taking any protein powders? But instead rely on actual food for protein?

Combination of real and protein.

1) There are no studies that actually indicate the phytoestrogens in soy cause ANY estrogenic sides effects. In fact, any studies done that I have read actually proved the opposite.
2) Soy, while incomplete, is high in Arginine. It's best stacked with other complete proteins.
3) But if you don't want soy, don't worry about the powders that have TRACE (like miniscule) amounts in them, they will have no effect on you, I promise.

Everybody is so scared of phytoestrogens because someone once equated the "estrogen" in phytoestrogen with estrogenic sides effects (with no proof). I would love to read any proof that phytoestrogens actually exhibit sides.

I understand where you are coming from Carth, but I wouldn't worry about the powders that only have trace amounts.
