Soy products act as estrogen?!
by Aruba417, Jan 18, 2007 12:00AM
I am on a very strict diet. I've been eating soy nuts as a snack. My mom warned me that I shouldn't eat soy products because it acts like estrogen. She said that it's bad for younger women (I'm 26) because it can screw with my hormones and mess with my cycle. My sister also agreed with my mom, saying that her doctor told her the same thing. I'd never heard this before and was wondering if it was true. The strange thing is, I JUST started eating soy nuts last Thursday, and I started my period the Sunday after that. It was 5 days early. Coincidence? I've always heard that soy was good for you!

I have alwasy heard that soy protein will make you a more feminin, and that because of the growth hormons and such it acts like estrogen... I was told not to use too much, but smae quantities should be fine... thats what i have heard at least

There are a lot of vegatarians and vegans that eat a lot of soy. Soy is very good for you but yes it can mess with your hormones. Google benefits of it
