Christians ... what do you expect

[mike250]

I've also heard it can shrink your grapefruits....... really this soy scare is unnecessary

[VictorBjoerk]

But what about soy and dementia??

Christians ... what do you expect

Christians, or Conservatives? World Net Daily is a Conservative rag more than Christian. I did find the sidebar ad for the weight training program with the gay-themed pictures kind of ironic. I'm sure glad I went there because I finally found a place to buy that Reagan/Bush 84 t-shirt I've been looking for.

Isoflavones are estrogen receptor antagonists, right? So it would not make you gay

I became bisexual from age 7 to 8, the one year I was staying with my relatives in India. When I came back to the United States, I was heterosexual again. I can't explain it.

Many people in many countries eat soy in big amounts (japan for example) and yet, no phenomena happened by it, besides, Estrogen does not affect on who the person is attracted to.

Does any parts of asia have disproportionally many gays?

I don't think they should be that large. Pick another fruit.

Can something make you gay? Hypothetically if soy was a powerful estrogen, could it do it even then?

Isolfavones = phytoestrogens > bind to estrogen receptor and activate the same downstream signaling as estrogen hormone

But, soy would not cause a male to turn gay (unless that male was a fetus and the mother ingested considerable amounts during pregnancy - when the brain is developing and is sensitive to the estrogen/testosterone balance) anymore than testosterone will make a gay man straight.

Harv sets down his soy-burger and pushes aside his soy-yogurt smoothie to peer closer at the screen. "Say what, now?"

The topic said "Soy Makes You Gay." So he clicks the [Reply] button to make a witty reply. But then the screen says, "Replying to Soy Makes You Gay."

"OK, I give up." And he returns to eating his vegetarian lunch.

But doesn't isoflavones sometimes act as antiestrogens binding to the estrogen produced by the body and preventing it from having stimulating effects in the body......

Soy Makes You Gay

Hot!

So if I ever fall for a guy I should subtly feed him more soy?

Women in Japan would often feed their husbands soy when they became too sexually aggressive.

soy makes you gay?? LOL

the title makes me laugh!

Why don't top soy consuming countries like China and Japan have higher % of gay ppl then? I read world wide homosexual population averages at 10%. I'm pretty sure East Asia has a lower % than 10.

I've heard many sources saying that soy actually can act anti-estrogenic contrary to popular belief, Bodybuilders apparently do not avoid soy protein for instance.....

A phytoestrogen (PE) is a molecule that is very similar in structure to the estrogen molecule. When PE binds to the estrogen receptor it will induce the same downstream signaling as estrogen and therefore transmit the hormonal message. However, whilst the receptor is occupied by PE it cannot bind an estrogen molecule until the PE is released. This becomes interesting when the time that the binding lasts for is taken into consideration. If the PE/receptor binding time is different than estrogen, say it takes longer to release then estrogen would, then this may have an anti-estrogenic effect. But if there is very little estrogen present then it would have an agonistic effect (pro-estrogenic).

Hence for women PE may be anti-estrogenic but for men it would be pro-estrogenic.

[mike250]

there is too much pseudo-science going around claiming that soy makes men impotent and causes them to sprout breasts.

[edward]

The funny thing is that not even Estrogen itself will make you gay. Many older men end up having low testosterone and even higher Estrogen levels the their female counterparts but they dont suddenly become gay. You are hardwired to be gay or not and estrogen after birth cant change that (estrogen/test in the womb may). Estrogen/Phytoestrogens may change your fat distribution, testicle size, emotions etc. but they will not make you gay. lol

[Infernity]

Higher estrogen level is related to soy consumption.

Gay communists.

I never anticipated this threat. They shall not prevail.
