But you would also have to take into account the other foods you were consuming as well at the time.
Now when you say, you were fed? You were a child?

no I was fed this by the goverment.. and no it was not much else.. I understand that SOY can reap many benefits to many people, especially aging women, however I do not believe it to be good for someone interested in bodybuilding.

The government fed you? I'm confused?

The use of soy protein isolates has been shown to increase estrogen found in urine of men.

A Japanese study shows that it increases estrogen without an accompanying rise in other hormones, i.e. testosterone.

I don't know, the jury is still out. It may help victims of prostate cancer, but in our sport it may lead to bitch tits

Thanks to everyone for the help, I'll read over everything right now.

Oh, and apologies for the late response.

Dude, why be vegetarian?

You should go to the jungle and stop the lions eating other animals to stop their immoral behaviour!
