    The really funny thing about this is OP is egregiously wrong.

    Soy doesn’t contain estrogen, it contains phytoestrogen, which not only doesn’t produce any estrogen-like side-effect, but actively prevents our bodies from taking and producing estrogenic hormones.

    This is all very ironic, considering drinking excessive cows milk leeches calcium out of our bones and exposes us to a smorgasbord of hormones not designed for humans.

    Soy is shit tier anyway, oat milk all the way.

      This leeching effect is not true. It’s a myth spread by alt-health providers.

        At this point I just don’t believe anything weird anyone has to say about food humanity has eaten for thousands of years unless they can back it up with real studies from real medical journals.

          I just do this with everything that is advertised as something big. The hidden danger of food. Source? What the president of a country said about its own country. Source? Anything not trivial gets treated as misinformation unless proven.

            You’re right. After looking it up it seems like I’ve had some bad intel.

            I’ve corrected my previous post.

        I haven’t totally believed this, but I also think its potentially useful to spread anyway. Sure, misinformation is bad, but so is climate change. Which one is worse?

          Misinformation is always worse in the long run.

          If people find out you knowingly lied about one thing, they’ll assume you lied about other things that are more important, regardless of evidence.

          Climate change being an excellent example of this where it wasn’t so much lies as bad guesses and so many people dismissed it despite the growing evidence.

            People still eat their carrots thinking it improves their vision.

            I mostly agree with you, but but I haven’t seen evidence either way saying it doesn’t have this effect.

              Just because something hasn’t been proven one way or the other doesn’t mean you should just believe either of them on a whim.

              It’s totally okay to hold beliefs tenuously and then not feel attached to them when they’re proven wrong.

              It happened to me here in this thread. I stated cows milk leeched calcium, but it doesn’t, I was misinformed. There’s no shame in admitting I was wrong, but it reminds me to be more cautious about assertions of fact in the future.

              I don’t want to be wrong any longer than I need to be.

      If soy did do this, red states would be trying to regulate it so trans people couldn’t buy it.

      Out of all the things you can make out of soy, why milk? Tofu exists and it’s grand-master based food. I’ll smash several plates of mapo tofu without hesitation. Soy sauce, edamame, all ridiculously good shit.

      Amazing, prior to today I didn’t know people could have this much information on soy and still end up objectively incorrect about its position relative to oat milk.

        Go fuck yourself buddy. You and your non-oat-centrered world view need to check your privilege.
