Guest guest Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Hi folks, I'm new here. I have been a vegetarian since 1986. I am a 50-something man. I have run into a problem that I wonder if anyone in this group has had with soy products. Basically, if I eat much of the processed soy products, it really screws up my male hormones. When I quit eating the processed soy food, my hormones are closer to normal. Anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know if soy which has not been processed (into veggie burgers, veggie chicken, etc.) has an impact on hormones? I didn't realize that processed soy can affect hormones in both women and men until a nutritionist told me this. I was skeptical initially, but my hormone tests proved it out. Then, I began to research the internet and found it mentioned on many websites. Jim < Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 I have heard of this happening before, but have not experienced it for myself. I don't eat a lot of soy products... maybe just one or two items a week. I think moderation is the key with most everything. The good thing in all this is there is endless variety in the vegetarian diet. Enjoy all the rest. ~ PT ~ , " jimchristianhall " <jimchristianhall wrote: > > Hi folks, > > I'm new here.
