If you don't already have tits, this is the product for you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytoestrogens#Food_sources do you even read the cites you quote? You seem to understand the explicit meanings of the words, but not the implicit meaning of the text. Next time I'll try to find something with pictures for you. The operative word here is PHYTOESTROGEN. once again billy, the first paragraph shoots you down. read it. i'll underline the relevant part for you. funny. there's no mention of increased man boobs in the article. also noted the list of products containing: nuts, legumes, beer, bourbon, hops (among others). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soybean#Phytoestrogen Phytoestrogen Main article: Phytoestrogens Soybeans contain isoflavones called genistein and daidzein, which are one source of phytoestrogens in the human diet. Because most naturally occurring estrogenic substances show weak activity, normal consumption ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ of foods that contain these phytoestrogens should not provide sufficient ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ amounts to elicit a physiological response in humans.[102] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^ Well, I started this as amusement, but I see that you want to be a "winner". So be it. As I understand it, tofu is used as a condiment in Japan, not the central element of the meal. That said, pray tell me what normal consumption is. Plant lignans associated with high fiber foods such as cereal brans and beans are the principal precursor to mammalian lignans which have an ability to bind to human estrogen sites. Soybeans are a significant source of mammalian lignan precursor secoisolariciresinol containing 13–273Â*μg/100Â*g dry weight.[103] Another phytoestrogen in the human diet with estrogen activity is coumestans, which are found in beans, split-peas, with the best sources being alfalfa, clover, and soybean sprouts. Coumestrol, an isoflavone coumarin derivative is the only coumestan in foods.[104][105] Soybeans and processed soy foods are among the richest foods in total phytoestrogens (wet basis per 100g), which are present primarily in the form of the isoflavones daidzein and genistein.[106] songbird -- - Billy E pluribus unum http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-great-american-bubble-machine-20100405 |
