ManBoobs are a crisis in the Western world. When I was growing up in the 1960's and 1970's I was a swimmer and rarely saw them at the pool. Now ManBoobs are everywhere and can be seen through clothing!
Soy equals Estrogen.
Estrogen is a female hormone. You do not need this hormone if you are a man and it just might not be good for you anyway.
Soy is now in most processed food. You can find out if this is true by reading the labels.
I mention in this video that the name for the soy in processed food is Soy Isoflavones. In case you want to look on your food labels and see if it is there, you can also look for the other names it goes by:
Genistein, Genistin, Daidzein, Daidzin, Equol, Dihydrogenistein, Dihydroglycitein, Glycitein, Glycitin
You can also find another soy product in many foods. This product is called Soy Lecithin. Soy Lecithin is also sold as a supplement telling you there are various health benefits. I do not take supplements and have not researched this topic, but again - soy is estrogen - a female hormone.
The other names for Soy Lecithin are:
Egg Lecithin, Lécithine, Lécithine, Lécithine de Graine de Soya, Lécithine de Soya, Lecitina, Ovolecithin, Ovolécithine, Phospholipide de Soja, Phospholipide de Soya, Phospholipides de Soya, Soy Lecithin, Soy Phospholipid, Soy Phospholipids, Soya Bean Lecithin, Soya Lecithin, Soybean Lecithin, Vegilecithin, Vitellin, Vitelline.
If you look on government and manufacturer web resources, you be reassured and told that adding these soy products to the food supply in the 1980's was NO BIG DEAL. Just eat your chemicals and do not worry.
As far as a "regular" amount of soy as part of your healthy diet, soy foods might have a place if you like it. Ferment soy, such as miso is supposed to have reduced levels of estrogen in the processing, but I am not too sure about that.
Please tell me what you think of soy and soy products in the comments below.
- Do you eat them?
- Do you avoid them?
- Have you ever heard of this issue before?
I really want to hear from you!

It is that time of year when the fitness equipment is out and the diet books are being read. I lost "Half My Size" eight years ago by using natural methods, and you can too!
