Pretty sure this is debunked. Most protein powders are soy based.
The gymbro industry wouldn't let that anywhere their workouts if it lowered testosterone.
You're such a fucking rube
bit idea transwoman that believes this and drinks soy milk for this reason
I mean I was doing a lot of insufferable "soyboy" jokes while eating tofu for the first time the other week, so I support this bit
we get tricked into doing this on the regular. at best it doesn't work and at worst it's harmful.
I've said for years that if this shit was real you'd see transphobe legislators trying to ban soy
Nonsense. If phytoestrogens worked the same way as human estrogen, don't you think there would be major physical differences between say, vegans and non-vegans? If consuming large amounts of phyto-estrogen could cause significant physical changes to your body, I think we would know by now.
Not to mention a lot of the worlds top weightlifters are Chinese atm and they’re eating more soy on average than their American counterparts.
Is this a bit? Because I’ve genuinely never seen one of you in the wild until right now and this isn’t the place I expected it.
From research I read, the phyto-estrogens have the opposite effect you’re saying. While they have a very similar structure to estrogen, they aren’t estrogen. So at most they trick the body into producing more testosterone. But phyto-estrogens, as plant hormones, obviously are not absorbed or used by our body….
