It’s completely wild that people drink cow hormone juice and then think that soy is affecting their hormones.

[–] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's completely wild that... Husbandry exists? That we eat other animals? That we rot liquid food to drink it? That we use bacteria to curdle milk?

Hot bean juice!

[–] ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm on your level. People get really weird about milk despite the fact that the majority of people consume animal flesh on a daily basis. Milk is way low on the weird food scale.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

We've been eating animals a few million years longer than drinking their milk. (Lactose intolerance is far more common than generally thought.)

Take another look at your map there, because it backs me up.

Here's another, lactose Tolerance (notice Tolerance with a T) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactose_intolerance#/media/File:Lactose_tolerance_in_the_Old_World.svg It shows pretty much only Northern European heritage, iffy if you're southern European, and pretty much everyone is out of luck.

... I'm aware. I linked the map lol.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

You said if you're Asian. It's not only if you're Asian.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sigh this will be my last attempt at explaining.

When you say "... If you're asian lol." you are saying that you are lactose intolerant ONLY if you are Asian. And you are saying that everyone that is not Asian is lactose Tolerant. That is how "... If you're asian lol." is read and understood by 99.999999999% of people (everyone except you it seems).

That's my thanks for trying to explain things to you huh.

[–] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

You're more like the dude who's telling someone with a bullet wound to head that they need to see the doctor while they're at the hospital.

Not conservatives, regressives.

[–] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Literally the same thing

[–] LowleeKun@feddit.org 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It is a badge i would wear with honor, because soy is awesome and the myth is bullshit.

[–] snekmuffin@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

afaik, it's not really a myth. it does actually have plenty of phytoestrogens and it's often recommended as a supplement for HRT. Probably not enough to have much of an effect on its own though

[–] lowered_lifted@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

False, the phytoestrogens in beer are far more bioavailable, but also the animal estrogen in beef.

[–] cccc0@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

it does actually have plenty of phytoestrogens

you think because it has "estrogens" in the name it turns you into a girl. phyto- means plant. are you a plant?

recommended as a supplement for HRT.

by who? facebook?

[–] r00ty@kbin.life 1 points 2 years ago

by who? facebook?

You know what I've been seeing on Facebook lately (qualifier, I use it for my local village group and those last few friends that refuse to use anything else)? People posting the fact that the AstraZeneca vaccine used a modified chimpanzee adenovirus and implying this is the cause of the mpox business.

I would 100% bet they got it from Facebook!

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

but you see, the whole of Asia is made up of just women so that proves it! /s

[–] hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Exactly. It has a similar name in one of the ingredients. But: this ingredient is not estrogen and it basically has zero impact on the hormones in your body. And all experts know that. That's why there's no scientific papers supporting this whole soy / estrogen theory.

[–] snekmuffin@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 2 years ago

I dunno, just mentioning what I've heard before, hence the 'afaik'

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's phytoestrogen, dummy Anon.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fragile bros terrified of phytoestrogen in soy will be chugging dairy milk without a single concern.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

All my dairy milk comes from bulls.

[–] chickenf622@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is that why my milk has been so salty recently?

[–] TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pffffffffft

Cackling in the bar bathroom now, thanks

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What kind of degen poops at a bar!?

[–] TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Yep, that tracks.

[–] Zozano@lemy.lol 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

The really funny thing about this is OP is egregiously wrong.

Soy doesn't contain estrogen, it contains phytoestrogen, which not only doesn't produce any estrogen-like side-effect, but actively prevents our bodies from taking and producing estrogenic hormones.

This is all very ironic, considering drinking ~~excessive~~ cows milk ~~leeches calcium out of our bones and~~ exposes us to a smorgasbord of hormones not designed for humans.

Soy is shit tier anyway, oat milk all the way.

[–] jetsetdorito@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

If soy did do this, red states would be trying to regulate it so trans people couldn't buy it.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you let your boss bully you into explaining what a soyboy is, you are in fact a soyboy

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

he brought it upon himself when he called a coworker soyboy first

[–] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nut milk comes from male cows.

It’s a ballistic bovine which makes a ‘whoosh’ sound while overhead.

[–] lenniy@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Always thought soyboy is a way to condecendingly refer to a JavaScript developer. Because you know, beans.

Hard to stay on top of all the internet lingo.

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

What do beans have to do with JavaScript? I am familiar with Spring beans but that is Java, not JS.

[–] DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

We have way worse terms for Javascript devs. I'm not allowed to say them though.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 1 points 2 years ago

Haha soy is beans, therefore it's mega good for you. Beans are life

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

On that day, anon found out he really is a soyboy soyjack. Did he learn anything else? Nobody cares, only that soyboy won't manage to pull that on anyone at work.

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Internet soyboy meets world.

The men are not impressed by what he tells them of what he has learned.
