Diet heavy into Soy

[hulksterii]

Vegetarian here. One thign that I understand about Soy products is that it has the propensity to increase Estrogen. Does anyone have a level of confidence on how much is too much Soy vs. the minimum one can use?

Thanks

Yes soy does in fact increase estrogen. do you eat eggs or tuna?

I eat eat whites and whole eggs on occasion. No to Tuna. Increasing Estrogen is the last thing I need right now...... Thanks

Though the flavones in soy resemble estrogen in structure - it can not increase your estrogen levels or drop test levels.

Read this one - you might find the answer with clear data SOY, good or bad?

Even i am a lacto-ovo vegetarian ( i too consume only egg whites and dairy products)

^^That's correct!^^^
Besides, soy is hard to digest for most people.

i do accept with that.. But besides that it is a slow protein which can actually be a good combo along with other proteins.......
