Sushi and Soy

This might sound like a silly question, but since I really do enjoy sushi quite a lot and like to have soy and wasabi with it, I thought I'd ask if there are estrogen related issues with having too much soy.

Essentially, what I was told by a bodybuilder several years ago was to avoid anything soy related, or I may as well just cut my nutsacks off. Those were his words, and they kind of stuck with me though I didn't know much about gear at that time. Does anyone know if soy somehow directly converts to a form of estrogen, or is it that it facilitates Aromatization that naturally occurs. I should have no problems having soy while I am on an AI, if its only affecting natural Aromatization.

Just fyi, I've been mostly using coconut based soy alternatives, with low sodium. Taste even better, but I am not bringing a bottle of coconut soy around with me in case I end up eating sushi at some point of the day [with colleagues].
 
You would have to be eating pounds of the stuff on the regular. Soy is so overhyped.

CaptainPlanet approves.
 
You will be fine... I go for all you can eat sushi and use soy and wasabi on mine... no problems on my end.

I think you just need to watch for soy phyto estrogens.

Soy sauce, soybean oil and soy lecithin are examples of soy products that do not contain significant levels of phytoestrogens.
 
Yes, stay clear of this. Asians are small for a reason and research is showing lately that it’s from wasabi
Most of us do not even consume real wasabi. It's all horseradish unless you wanna pay $20 for a dollop of real wasabi or visit real fancy sushi house.


Kinda like how thai basil and Italian basil are very different flavors but in the same family.

Korean red pepper flakes are another good example.

Well I’ll be damned, you learn something new every day I suppose! I had no clue abt this
 
Ah man, I love wassabi (and horse radish). I guess i'll only eat ice-cubes from now on.

On a more serious note, would it make a difference if I made my GF eat the Wasabi, and then asked her to bake me a Sheppard's pie? Less wassabi, but all the fun.
 
"Poor Asians", they eat wasabi and I don't know they have such problems.
Well that's fair, however I've read that historically Japanese women used to feed their husbands more soy if they wanted them to behave less aggressively in the bedroom. Not sure if it's just one of things that's not really true, but it bothered me for a bit so I avoided soy as much as possible.

In any case, I am good now :) ty

New research is showing their husbands are uptight/aggressive acting from working 140 hours a week at the auto factories

I think this is some kind of national joke that has nothing to do with reality. But who knows, who knows :)

I think there are a lot of reasons why husbands behave aggressively, including because of nasty wives who always swear and humiliate their husbands :)

Nah, eventually they just let it happen and tuck their tails between their legs. They lose any sense of dignity and pride that they ever had and let a woman destroy their lives. And they all have one thing in common too; they threw it all away because they were pussy whipped but now they aren’t getting any pussy at all!!
