It’s completely wild that people drink cow hormone juice and then think that soy is affecting their hormones.

It's completely wild that... Husbandry exists? That we eat other animals? That we rot liquid food to drink it? That we use bacteria to curdle milk?

Hot bean juice!

[-] ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

I'm on your level. People get really weird about milk despite the fact that the majority of people consume animal flesh on a daily basis. Milk is way low on the weird food scale.

It is a badge i would wear with honor, because soy is awesome and the myth is bullshit.

[-] Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 116 points 2 months ago

See, what his coworkers did was good bullying. Anon learned something and also wasn't fired for whatever skeevy pseudosexual thing he was implying about his coworker, probably over politics. Winning hearts and minds, people.

The really funny thing about this is OP is egregiously wrong.

Soy doesn't contain estrogen, it contains phytoestrogen, which not only doesn't produce any estrogen-like side-effect, but actively prevents our bodies from taking and producing estrogenic hormones.

This is all very ironic, considering drinking ~~excessive~~ cows milk ~~leeches calcium out of our bones and~~ exposes us to a smorgasbord of hormones not designed for humans.

Soy is shit tier anyway, oat milk all the way.

[-] Clent@lemmy.world 54 points 2 months ago

This leeching effect is not true. It's a myth spread by alt-health providers.

[-] ngwoo@lemmy.world 40 points 2 months ago

At this point I just don't believe anything weird anyone has to say about food humanity has eaten for thousands of years unless they can back it up with real studies from real medical journals.

[-] Krauerking@lemy.lol 14 points 2 months ago

Right?!

Its all just marketing. We die for whatever reason anyways just let me eat in peace!

Out of all the things you can make out of soy, why milk? Tofu exists and it's grand-master based food. I'll smash several plates of mapo tofu without hesitation. Soy sauce, edamame, all ridiculously good shit.

If soy did do this, red states would be trying to regulate it so trans people couldn't buy it.

It's phytoestrogen, dummy Anon.

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 60 points 2 months ago

Fragile bros terrified of phytoestrogen in soy will be chugging dairy milk without a single concern.

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 40 points 2 months ago

All my dairy milk comes from bulls.

[-] fogstormberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 2 months ago

my family believes it completely. and hiding my actual estrogen is probably reinforcing their belief

How the fuck does this get posted all the time without anyone ever picking up on the fact that this workplace dynamic is obviously made up and anon is literally a 4chan kid who just changed the actors in his story from ''teacher' and "classmate" to 'boss' and 'coworker' so he wouldn't get banned on an 18+ imageboard.

On that day, anon found out he really is a soyboy soyjack. Did he learn anything else? Nobody cares, only that soyboy won't manage to pull that on anyone at work.

[-] Comment105@lemm.ee 17 points 2 months ago

Internet soyboy meets world.

The men are not impressed by what he tells them of what he has learned.

[-] Aeri@lemmy.world 40 points 2 months ago

What kind of fuckin idiot thinks that soybeans have synthetic female hormones of a caliber that would feminize you or whatever.

[-] holgersson@lemm.ee 14 points 2 months ago

The same kind of idiot that conveniently ignores all the hormones in meat and dairy used to maximize profit

The soy thing has to be one of the funniest delusions I've ever seen.

People convincing themselves that all liberals are vegans, all vegans eat a diet primarily of soy, and that soy has compounds similar to estrogen, so therefore all liberal men are feminized by their diets and are therefore weak (because being a woman is bad).

The number of weird things you have to believe out of insecurity to get to that conclusion are quite embarrassing. It's quite a self-report.

You can also reverse the argument into mockery, accusing conservative women of being too masculine because they don't eat enough soy, then bragging about how feminine soy-loving liberal women are.

Sounds like something a soyboy would say.

I moved to a rural area a few years back and there’s a lot of farms here. Thus, many of the people I’ve met are farmers or have worked on farms. After a year or so of asking people what they raise/grow on their farms it finally happened and I met someone who said they grew soybeans. I asked him if he was a soyboy and he was really not amused.

I’m pretty sure he saw it coming too, when he said soybeans I had to have a huge shit eating grin on my face. I was waiting for that day

Always thought soyboy is a way to condecendingly refer to a JavaScript developer. Because you know, beans.

Hard to stay on top of all the internet lingo.
