Question 3

how much soy is too much? what problem can it cause? i usually have 1 glass of soy milk, 1 bag (1 pound) of edamame, & 1 box of tofu. is it too much?

Accepted Answer

Soy may not be good: For all people. Eating large amounts of soy’s estrogen-mimicking compounds, isoflavones,  might reduce fertility in women, trigger early puberty and disrupt development of fetuses and children. I can't give you any specific amount that would be too much, but I do recommend limiting the amount of soy consumption in children and women trying to get pregnant.

Acne: Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells.These factors can trigger or aggravate an existing case of acne, hormones, medications, and a diet with a lot of dairy and carbohydrate-rich foods.You can also prevent new acne breakouts with self-care measures by washing your skin with a gentle cleanser and avoiding touching or picking acne.

No: There is no scientific evidence that dietary soy food (milk, tofu, ect...) is linked to the development of breast cancer in women or men. And it does not cause lumps in men's breasts. If a man has a lump in his breast, he should immediately go see his doctor for an assessment. Breast cancer does develop in men, albeit much less common than in women.

Question 9

does drinking soy milk cause weight gain?

Accepted Answer

Calorie economics: Soy milk does not cause weight gain anymore than other food (including regular milk). Weight gain occurs when the total calorie intake exceeds the calories consumed by the body in activities, leading to storing away of the calories. In general, calories from all food sources not used are turned to fat and stored for later use. Portion control is important. Avoid drinking too much soy milk.

Question 10

can soy milk cause cancer and breasts in men?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Soy has phytoestrogens that can b converted to estrogen. Too muh estrogen in a male can cause breast tenderness and growth. Unlikely to cause cancer.  Still, in order to get enough soy in your diet to cause such symptomatic changes you would have to drink solely soy milk in large amounts.  Women who want to get estrogen replacement by taking soy must add powder form concentrate to get enough.
