The studies prove enough to me that I don't think pre-menopausal women should be using soy. Due to today's poor food qualities and environmental toxins, many women, and some men for that matter, are estrogen dominant. The last thing an estrogen dominant person needs is soy and even at the slightest amount, it's a risk for someone in this situation. Now take a women on birth control.........do you really think adding in a substance that possibly increases estrogen is a good thing?
The only bread I've seen in the freezers locally is rice bread. Rye Bread is something like £3 for eight slices
This reeks estrogen dominance right there. Why would anyone want to fuck with that. So many women have too low progesterone already! When you have decreased progesterone you have increase higher estrogen. Low progesterone can cause PCOS, amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, fertility issues........the list goes on.Thus, consumption of soy containing 32???200 mg/d of isoflavones seems to increase menstrual cycle length and the ratios of 2- to 16{alpha}-(OH) and 2- to 4-(OH) estrogens and to decrease plasma concentrations of estradiol, progesterone, midcycle gonadotropins and SHBG as well as urinary estrogens. Some but not all of these effects go in the direction of cancer prevention. Studies suggest that both the isoflavones (5Citation ,19Citation ) and soy protein (20Citation ) may be responsible for these effects. At the same time, isoflavones do not seem to affect the endometrium (5Citation ), although there is some evidence for mild stimulation of breast cells by soy (21Citation ,22Citation ).
Although these effects are generally in a beneficial direction, their clinical significance is yet to be established.
Future studies should focus on elucidating the responsible components and the optimal forms and doses as well as the dietary, environmental and genetic factors that influence particular subgroups to respond to soy.
From what my ND told me, is that it's the isoflavones. Some of this is anecdotal evidence but, to me, still shows enough negative to stay away from it.yea, that is a literature review...again, it is hard to take information from it becasue it is comparing a bunch of shit that is simliar but not the same. Also, because it is a review, it doesn't have an inclusion criteria for which studies they are looking at.
are the effects because of the soy? or because of the isoflavones?
there are still a lot of questions to be asked.
I don't think that soy is all that great. I think there is better shit to eat.
From the colclusion section of that research review:
I don't care what the studies show for amounts. If something has ill effects it shouldn't be used at all. To me, that's like saying 1 cigarette a day is fine.![]()

Yeah I know what you mean, but after all the shit I've had to deal with and the estrogen dominance etc...to me, it's that bad. The last thing anyone needs with pre-existing estrogen dominance is to make it worse![]()
Some people it can have pronoun effects and other it will cause no problems at all. Everyone is different but those at risk, shouldn't chance it.
Yup, makes complete sense. It's your responsibility as a professional to be subjective and open to all things. My career is not in this field so most research I do is mainly for myself. Most of my advice is based off that research as well as my own personal experiences. As I said in the beginning of all of this to dontstop - it may cause problems as she ages.I understand what you are saying.
But not everyone will have the same hormonal problems as you. Not everyone will have the same metabolism as you. You have to take things in stride, as they come, when working with people.
I can't take all my clients and have them back squat because I back squat....it would be insanity.
I can't have some of my clients eat a diet that is similiar to mine (higher in carbs) because they don't metabolism CHO as well as I do and they don't have the same metabolism as me.
One of the hardest things to do is seperate yourself from those you are working with....does that make sense?
Yeah, I agree, no doubt more research is needed. Look how many products and medications out there that they claimed safe and then overtime the negative effects showed face. Kinda scary with how much trust we put into the people making these statements.![]()
yessir. sorry sir. It wont happen again.dude, grow the fuck up.
These are good....

Agreed. It has been mentioned that some "bad things" are okay in moderation, however, even though I agree (because life should be enjoyed), these things may (and likely) have negative affects on the body which we do not immediately realize. This reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend who is aspiring to become a professional kickboxer. He used to smoke weed on and off, but quit once he noticed the affects of it on his body after reaching the level of training/athleticism that he has. I don't think you can ever be too nitpicky on this forum. It is a health/bodybuilding forum after all; I thought that was the point. Some great information posted so far. I have been wanting to learn more about the soy protein debate.Some smoke ciggies all their life with no problems too ... others are not as lucky.
Point is we are trying to learn a better way to eat and live longer. Soy is not good for that goal with the increased estrogen.
Too each his/her own though.
Dynamic Chiropractic Jan 1 said:While dairy promotions also include praise for the protein of milk as well, this protein may be more of a problem in osteoporosis than calcium could be a solution. The animal proteins of meat and dairy products cause calcium loss.9 The level of calcium needed in the diet depends greatly on the animal protein intake.10 For many of the high animal protein diets of Americans, it may not be possible to consume enough calcium in the diet to compensate for the amount lost to these high-acid proteins.11 For this reason, Americans have among the highest osteoporosis rates in the world, while their dairy intake is also among the highest. Doubled animal protein causes 50 percent more calcium loss. Yet, when a high protein intake is soy-based, a positive calcium balance can be maintained with only 450 mg of calcium per day.12
The chief concern over bone density is that it gradually reduces with maturity. At a certain point of bone loss, the term osteoporosis is used. This is a level where low-trauma bone fractures become more frequent. Spinal fractures are a problem, as are hip and arm fractures, which are easier to measure for research purposes. The highest level of bone density attained in young adulthood correlates with bone density maintained in later decades. What is not entirely understood is how much impact dietary factors have on these events. Some studies suggest that childhood calcium intake before puberty may have some slight positive effect. At the same time that diabetes, cancer, and other concerns may limit the amount of dairy that should be given to a child, it also appears that bone protection is no reason to promote dairy consumption beyond childhood.
In 1986 a Harvard researcher produced a graph that demonstrated a nearly direct relationship between calcium intake and hip fractures - the more calcium, the more fractures.13,14
A 1987 study of 106 adult women suggested that calcium intake between 500 and 1,400 mg per day led to no difference in bone mineral densities.15
A larger Italian study found that in women who consumed between 440 and 1,025 mg of calcium per day, a slightly increased number of hip fractures occurred with higher milk intakes.16
A recent study of 78,000 nurses found that women who drank more than one glass of milk per day had a 45-percent greater chance of hip fractures compared to those who drank far less.17 Those who took in the same amount of calcium from nondairy sources saw no such increase, nor a decrease in fractures. Since many studies are performed on women only - they do suffer more osteoporosis - Harvard researchers decided to look at men. They found that those who drank three or more glasses of milk per day, compared to one or less per week, had very slightly fewer hip fractures, but these were balanced by slightly more arm fractures.18 The highest calcium intakes from food and supplements together produced an increase in fractures overall.
The rate of hip fractures in the U.S. for people of many races and ethnic origins is exactly inverse to their rates of lactose intolerance. In other words, those who are likely avoiding milk as adults have the fewest fractures. Non-Hispanic white women have 139 fractures per 100,000 people; Mexican-Americans have 67 per 100,000; and African-Americans average 55 per 100,000.19 The indigenous peoples of South Africa have not traditionally been dairy consumers. Their consumption is still very low, although formula is making great inroads. Those of osteoporosis age today however would not have been raised on formula. Typically, South Africans consume only 200 mg of calcium per day, but their rate of fractures is extremely low - fewer than seven per 100,000 people per year.20 Compare this to their dairy-exposed American counterparts. The milk-drinking (and higher calcium intake) populations around the world are the ones who have osteoporosis as a major problem.21 These rates are increasing in typically low fracture areas around the world as these regions adopt Western practices.
In Japan, as in many other non-Caucasian populations, dairy intake has traditionally been minimal and calcium intakes have been low - and hip fracture rates are low, but have been growing recently,22 as is the portion of adults who were raised on dairy. While industrialization also brings reduced physical exercise, there is a much more consistent common denominator seen in the timing and geographic regions of these bone problems - cow's milk. While we feel our nutrition is superior today over centuries past, archeological research has shown that Caucasian post-menopausal bone loss in the 18th and 19th centuries was less than that seen today.23 Clearly, high calcium intake, and certainly high dairy intake, are not the prevention for osteoporosis.
Fiber 1
I like some of the GO Lean cereals too.
Just mind your portion size with cereal though.
I used to sit and eat a half box of fruity pebbles every morning. Now, I did a 180; i always eat OF oats and fiber one, with egg whites and/or 30g of whey.I can easily do 3 medium/large bowls not even being hungry.![]()
