Men can not drink soy milk is misinformation

Rumors that soymilk contains "soy isoflavones", which is a kind of estrogen, men will drink breast development, not long beard, change sissy and other feminine characteristics, so should not drink. In fact, the argument that men cannot drink soy milk is ridiculous and is purely misrepresentation. In fact, it is beneficial for men to eat soybeans properly.

First of all, "soy isoflavone" is a substance similar to hormones. Although it is similar in structure and properties to estrogen, it has the ability to bind to estrogen receptors in the human body. Therefore, it has always been called "phytoestrogens". However, this "phytoestrogen" is different from the drug estrogen. The role of drug estrogen in the body is one-way, and directly increases the hormone content. The "phytoestrogen" in soy products has a two-way effect on the human body. When the human estrogen is insufficient, it can be supplemented; when the human estrogen is not lacking, the phytoestrogen has a positive physiological effect such as antioxidation.

Since the biological activity of "phytoestrogen" is only one thousandth of that of drug estrogen, for young women, one cup of soymilk per day is not sufficient to cause a significant change in estrogen levels. For men, phytoestrogens in soymilk are not likely to reverse hormone balance and are less likely to affect male sexuality. Soy milk is rich in vegetable protein, calcium, vitamins and other nutrients, can regulate the function of the female endocrine system, and is also one of the best foods for preventing osteoporosis in men.

Furthermore, only an estrogen receptor in the female body binds to soy isoflavones in order to exert an estrogenic effect. There is no such estrogen receptor in male body in male body, so the isoflavone in soybean milk does not work for male.
