Soys and Boys

In preparing for Vegan month, I was told by different people that soy contains high levels of estrogen. As vegans, soy will be one of our go-to proteins, so I had to find out what was what, lest I be a girly man (some people assumed that estrogen would have a feminizing effect on a man eating it regularly).

Turns out - according to my research - that like anything, too much of one thing ain't that great, but no, it does not have a feminizing effect on men who include it in their diet regularly. So if I cry during "Marley & Me" or "The Notebook" it's because they're just good movies, ok? Because Marley WAS a bad dog but then, you know, because the family loved him so much he was a GOOD dog. So lay off me! Or at least lay off soy.
