Soy protein = higher estrogen. Tor F

[IronCore]

I have read a "few" threads and studies which state soy protein helps increase estrogen production.

From the looks of the studies, however, it appears one would have to have a diet very high in soy only protein for this to take effect. The reason for asking is that I have grow parcticularly fond on the EAS Premium protein, which contains soy protein as well as others. It is rather in-expensive and for the amount you have to mix it has much more protein than some of the others I have tried.

For instance:
EAS Premium Protein 2 small scoops in 6oz water = 27g protein,

Muscle milk 4 LARGE scoops in 16-20 oz of water = 40g protein

Optimum Nutrition - 2 large scoops in 12 oz water = 30g protein (and give me stomach issues )

If you increase the mixture to equal the fluid volume to match the others you have 54g protein in your shake...


Here are some stats on the EAS stuff:

Hey Bro

In the other thread I listed Myofusion protein for you to check out. Your stomach will love it, no issues, no soy, no garbage. Just an awesome profile and great taste.

Each scoop has 25g protein, I believe 4 carbs. I mix it with skim milk, 1.5 scoops with 12oz milk

You won't be disappointed.

studies n meta-studies often funded by the soy industry have demonstrated no ill effects from soy protein, but there r a number of medical case studies showing individuals having fairly awful hormonal responses to hi soy intake...particularly in terms of thyroid function, and phytoestrogens skewing an individual's hormonal axis.

something to keep in mind if u plan oon a longterm intake of large amounts of soy...
