It’s and when I asked you guys what you wanted to learn, you had so many questions! And you already know I’m protein agnostic, so I love to add soy to my menu to mix it up!
Soy gets such a bad rap from the meathead bros who are worried about becoming “soy boys” 🙄🙄 and from the cancer influencers who exploit people’s fears to sell programs and supplements, it’s no wonder there’s so much confusion around what’s what when it comes to soy.
The whole “soy = estrogen = cancer” pipeline came from:
• animal studies using unrealistic doses
• misunderstanding how phytoestrogens work
What human research actually shows:
✔️ no increased breast cancer risk
✔️ potential protective effects
✔️ safe even after diagnosis
Meanwhile, soy is:
• a solid plant protein
• accessible
• culturally relevant in a lot of cuisines
If you’re cutting it out because of fear, not preference, it might be time to revisit that.
Let me know below ⬇️ did I address your soy questions? What did I miss?
