A member asked:
Does soy milk contain estrogen?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not per se: Soy contains plant phytoestrogens which are weak (very weak) activators of the estrogen receptor. The word "estrogen" commonly refers to 17-beta-estradiol, the most potent of the estrogen receptor stimulators found in the natural human circulation.

No: Soy milk does not contain human estrogen, but it does contain plant estrogens.
