Soy Sucks

Check out CaveGirlEats' post (over at Steve's Original) explaining why -- despite what you've heard -- soy is bad, bad news. She offers ten reasons why soy is terrible for you. Most notably:

The soy industry has worked tirelessly to discount the studies indicating that soy can have an estrogenic affect via its isoflavones, or phytoestrogens (plant-based estrogens). Don’t be fooled. Soy can lower testosterone levels in men. Monks regarded tofu as an aid to neutralizing sexual urges. Monsanto’s Genetically Modified soybeans were fed to cows who subsequently produced more milk, indicating a hormonal boost from these plant estrogens and proving that soy is a potent hormone disregulator.

Somewhere on my gargantuan Paleo page, I also discussed why soy is crap. So I beg of you: Pour out your soy milk, replace your soy sauce with coconut aminos, and think of all the reasons you don't want to end up like Jeremy Piven.

Speaking of Poo

This poo is made of tofu, which means it'll make you grow man-boobs like Jeremy Piven.

Horrifying Pec Implants, Anyone?

I'm pretty sure I'm going to have nightmares about this:

Extreme Man Boobs

Doctors believe that a Chinese farmer has the world's largest man boobs.

Guo Feng, 53, says the condition began about 10 years ago when he began to gain weight, but thought nothing of it. But now he says “In the last few years it’s become unbearable and I have been from one hospital to the other with nobody able to help me.”

Doctors say they don’t want to do anything until they can identify the problem, but one thing they do agree on is that his breasts aren’t cancer related and contain only fatty tissue.

Perhaps -- like Jeremy Piven -- he needs to reduce his soy intake.

Soy Milk & Sushi: A Cautionary Tale

I know that Tony Horton is a big vegan proponent of soy milk, but please note that if you eat two plates of sushi and wash them down with 12 cups (3/4 gallon) of soy milk ON A DAILY BASIS, you'll grow man boobs and go batshit crazy, just like Jeremy Piven.

Food for thought: Is there a positive correlation between excessive soy milk consumption and being a total douchebag?
