soy milk

[serd]

is soy milk healthy for a bodybuilder or just someone who workouts? it has a whole lot less sugar than regular milk.

NO! It's very bad for men. Plus, like you said, it has excess sugar, compared to regular milk. What would be the point?

 

[Gordo]

He said it has less sugar.

I kinda wondered about soy as well. I hear it's only a so-so protein source but for vegetarians it seems to work okay.

Why would it be bad for men?

I drink soy milk...but only because regular milk aggravates an ulcer that sits on top of my stomach. I've never heard that it's BAD for men, but I've heard that it doesn't really do much in the way of protein

 

[serd]

its SOY protein what do u mean by it cant do much for protein? Protein is Protein 1 8oz serving has 50 calories 2 g of carbs no sugar and 7 grams of PROTEIN

 

[Gordo]

I think they're referring to SOY's low BV score.... I found the info I was looking for about being bad for men....

Seems there are a few upsides to cycling SOY in the diet though.

Soy has been shown to raise the chance of prostate cancer in men.
It also contains estrogen like precursors.

Go ahead and drink up, by all means!

Results showed significantly increased muscle protein breakdown in the pigs that got the soybean protein." Lohrke, B., et al. (2001).

"The activity of SHBG was an average of nearly 9 percent greater on the soy diet. Since the extra SHBG tied up circulating testosterone, that led to a relative dominance of estrogen over testosterone." Habito, R.C., et al. (2000). Effects of replacing meat with soybean in the diet on sex hormone concentrations in healthy adult males. British J Nutr. 84:557-63.

Thank you!

Not agreeing or disagreeing w/ soy being bad. But the test was done on PIGS, not human beings. There is a slight possibility for different outcomes.
