Is it safe to eat soy sauce?

I knew a guy who ate soy sauce once, he died.

Biochemist here. Soy generally is one of the more toxic legumes. Fermented soy, as is seen in soy sauce, is less toxic because some of the anti nutrients are destroyed in the fermentation process. However, fermented foods are extremely rich in biogenic amines, namely histamine, which many people are sensitive or intolerant to. Many neurotransmitters are biogenic amines and consumption of them in food can alter brain function, especially in those with impaired digestion because not all of the polypeptides in the proteins consumed are sufficiently broken down. The intact amines enter the blood stream and can affect the brain.

I drink about a litre of soy sauce every day, I now have three breasts and -2 testicles...so yes its perfectly safe.

Traditionally made (that is, actually "fermented") is fine... just as is traditionally made tofu/tempura... in SMALL doses, as like a flavoring element, etc.

It's the industrially processed crap (the vast majority of so called "vegan-soy" stuff) -- and the fact that people are eating as MAIN portions of their diet -- that's the problem.

Soyboy is more a term to describe a weak man. It doesnt affect your hormones or anything.

I avoid it, but I never liked the taste anyway. Do what you feel is good.

Is there actual scientific background behind the soy boy

You mean are there studies outlining negative effects of soy? Yes. Search engines are your ally.

Eating a little soy here and there isn't going to kill you.

East asians have been using it for thousands of years, and they have healthier profiles than many Western countries, with a diet based on rice, fish, vegetables

Soy sauce is fine, it's the Pot Noodle that kills you.

There are studies, which are inconclusive. There are also studies about the hormones in dairy and meat, also inconclusive. I would worry more about the xenoestrogens in plastic containers, there is definitive evidence of their toxicity and manufacturers have been removing BPA from their products, but BPA is not the only estrogenic compound in plastics, potentially all of them have similar effects. Probably the packets in which the soy sauce comes are more toxic than the soy itself, so only buy it in glass containers.

Before completely removing soy from you diet, first take care of your calorie intake and the amount of body fat you have. Minimize the use of plastics, especially when cooking. Start adding broccoli, spinach and food rich in zinc which promote healthy testosterone production. Eat healthy animal fats, do some strength training and sleep well.

All those things have a more significant impact on your hormonal balance than soy. The meme is funny though, heh

There is no truth to any of this soy boy stuff. The estrogens found in plants are not chemically similar enough to lock into the receptors found on the surfaces of human cells.

Just to drive the point home, even if the estrogen you find in a plant is chemically identical to some human estrogen or another, that phytoestrogen isn't the correct shape to fit into human cellular receptors and activate their associated physiological responses anyway. This shape difference is due to a number of factors like synthesis speed, silent mutations, differing chemical environment, etc etc etc...the list is long and preposterous.

In addition, think about how many plants and animals have testosterone in them that you eat. Why aren't you a hulking muscle beast? See above.

Any who tell you otherwise don't know WTF they are talking about. So, relax, my brother, all is well. :)

Realistically speaking soy is not gonna impact your estrogen levels in any significant way.

What will on the other hand, is lack of sleep, shit diet, no exercise, etc.

I knew a guy that went head first into a big bowl of soy sauce and drowned. After that, he was eaten so there was no evidence of the crime.
Actually, it wasn't a guy, it was a piece of sushi. And I swear I didn't really know the sushi, I just found it one day chillin' at the supermarket.

Eat it almost everyday with rice. No problems here.
