If only getting estrogen were this easy...

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 24 points 2 weeks ago

Right? I can think of a few people who would want to live on soy if it worked.

And The fact, that oral estrogen is the least effective way of taking estrogen. Additionally its also the application form which cause the highest strain on the body, due to all the estrogen having to be processed by the liver just for most of the estrogen to not reach the blood at all.

Before a lengthy discussion takes off: red meat causes colon cancer. And it is a climate killer. And the cows don’t like the entire idea either.

[-] youcantreadthis@quokk.au 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Okay but what if I'm an accellerationist who hates climate wants suffering and hates the taste and texture of meat do I have to eat it or what

[-] isles@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

No, you can just buy it and place it directly in the landfill. Actually, that sounds like a lot of work for you. Just send me the money and I'll do it for you.

Note to remember: an entrenched belief has never been changed with anything less than a primary source, and even then it's rare.

This comment section is full of "cow-tits-sucking-contest enjoyers". Be aware of that.

Phytoestrogens absolutely bind to estrogen receptors and do affect the body. While not as potent, it still mimics estrogen.

The comparison here is like saying psilocin doesn't bind to serotonin receptors because it isn't serotonin.

Since any other reference probably wouldn't work here, have one from one of those holistic medicine places: https://denverholisticmedicine.com/blog/2018/5/17/phytoestrogens-friend-or-foe

You shouldn't need to spread misinformation to promote a hobby.

[-] TheCornCollector@piefed.zip 29 points 2 weeks ago

I agree with your first point and I really dislike the amount of misinformation flowing around on both sides, but spending even a little time online will show that is just humans being humans on any topic.

I’m not sure if I’m reading it right, but are you saying that people here, so vegans, don’t trust normal scientific evidence and are only here to reinforce their beliefs by excluding proper evidence? That sounds kind of patronising and implies people are only vegan because of their biased world view instead of proper ethics and science.

[…] to promote a hobby.

This also sounds dismissive of veganism and rude towards people that try their best to reduce harm in a part of their life. Vegans do it because they see it as necessary to live ethically consistent. This is not something done for ✨fun✨.

I would recommend leaving these unnecessary remarks out of your comments if you want to address misinformation such as in this post more effectively while also coming off more respectful.

[-] youcantreadthis@quokk.au 7 points 2 weeks ago

We all know science understanding can only happen when you eat brains and plants don't have brains but I shouldn't expect a vegan to understand that since they haven't eaten any brains recently

Please take a look at this. If you are genuinely concerned with health, and nutrition and are wanting to base your ideas in science. You'll realize that you are the one spreading misinformation.

[-] remotelove@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago

Our points were the same? The meme states that phytoestrogens "don't effect the body because you aren't a plant", which is absolutely false.

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

A hobby? You mean morality? Lmao.

Not your mom, not your milk.

[-] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 15 points 2 weeks ago

Perhaps you shouldn't shame memes that have such convincing arguments in favor of chugging cows milk /hj

[-] youcantreadthis@quokk.au 6 points 2 weeks ago

So uh, what are the effects of this cow Estrogen? I can imagine it is not so straight-forward as it seems, and has unfortunate side-effects.

Soy may have protein, but boy does it taste like shit. Pulses, lentils, legumes, even just wheat is better in my opinion.

But textured soy, prepared in the chaap fashion, is fucking delicious. Chicken does not even come close.

[-] architect 4 points 2 weeks ago

I eat a lot of soy protein and it definitely seems to help my estrogen levels. Not by much (like turn you into a woman) but it definitely helps.

Men need estrogen, anyways.

[-] elbiter@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Has this conversation ever happened between two different people?
