A member asked:
Why is soy in food if its estrogenic in the body ? does the world not like men with high testosterone? why is it given to baby boys ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Estrogenic soy: I have never seen definitive information that soy has an estrogenic effect on the body in any study. Soy is an excellent formula choice if breast milk is not available for baby girls and boys. The chemical formula of soy is similar in structure to estrogen; the chemical structure of chocolate is similar to that of heroin.
