Does soy really kill testosterone levels

No. There have been no tests that prove that Soy reduces testosterone levels. However it is still very funny to call low-T guys “Soy”

You’d have to eat a ton of it with every meal.

I did read an article (no sauce, I'm lazy, sorry) about a guy that had significant soy-related health issues. Cutting out all soy products helped him a lot. That said, I think it's similar to gluten allergy which is a real thing, but somehow also fashionable. Some people are even allergic to radiation from electronics. That does not mean most people should avoid it.

It's bro science, but it's super fun to taunt them with.

If that would be true then there wouldn't be any flat chested vegans.

Yes it will shrink your balls and turn you into a violent cuckold

The real answer is that not enough studies have been done to be conclusive about it, but it doesn't affect testosterone level in a clinically significant way for sure.

If anything, soy should increase testosterone levels (compared to most other plants, that is) because it requires your body to break down proteins in order to digest.

The only thing we know for sure is dangerous about Soy is the high level of methionine, which are essentially higher than in all type of meat... so, you're not getting a huge benefit of the vegan diet and not enjoying meat at the same time if you eat loads of soy.

There are debates about the side effects of soy and the potential hormetic benefits, but nothing conclusive or relevant enough to bare mention.

Overall, people have been eating the shit in a variety of ways for thousands of year, so it should be generally safe unless you have a 50% soy diet or something crazy like that.

It is probably over exaggerated, but like the NPC meme, its fun.

Soy contains a phytoestrogen . It mimics the chemical structure of estrogen , then fooling your body you have high estrogen. Which is a hormone that governs female reproduction

BluffButt · 2019-01-13T19:15:17+00:00

Nope, however animal byproducts like milk and certain meats gives you animal estrogen and creates hormonal imbalances. Eat in moderation and eat the clean shit. Not Walmart butcher

It causes acne.

Who cares? It's hilarious and steak tastes better anyway.

Peppermint does

Thunderfin · 2019-01-13T07:50:06+00:00

Lol, wtf is this bro science

actualimprovement145 · 2019-01-13T10:35:17+00:00

No, and these people that say it likely drink beer, where it's a lot more concentrated or eat dairy products in which are tons of estrogens that is +- like the human one. The people who say that usually haven't done any research and spill out the same like this skinny boy on YT, I forgot his name, that made this "soyboy" video.
