True or False
« on: December 21, 2011, 09:36:38 AM »
I have been a soy drinker for years and recently had a few lady organ problems..
Many of my friends have told me to slow down or cut out soy milk because it won't be doing me any favors in that area. I have heard that soy contains oestrogen too ?

Can you please help my worried mind..

Too much of a good thing is bad. Maybe it's not just soy milk, but soy in general. Take the time to examine your daily intake of soy; maybe your intake is well above the daily recommendation.

I have also been drinking soy milk on and off your many years, in 2005 after being diagnosed with RA (Rhuematoid Arthritis) I was put on the "Eat Right" diet and now drink soy full time. I am blood type A and Soy Milk is listed as highly beneficial for As. In my experience while following this diet and eating/drinking Soy products I am pain free. A wonderful feeling to have my life back and deviations off the diet soon flare up my symptoms and pain levels.  There are some blood types that for whom Soy is listed as an "Avoid", need I say anymore !!

Soy products help regulate production of Oestrogen, not increase it. Interestingly hormones don't work the way we would expect them too. When you add a hormone to the body, your body then produces less as there is already a certain level of that hormone. For example in man wishes to build muscle mass and takes testosterone, his body would actually produce less testosterone. So the whole argument about not drinking soy milk, not drinking if your pregnant with a male baby etc doesn't add up.
