Soy -> GayFollow

According to the 2003 Journal of Nutrition, the "upper limit" of soy consumption for humans is not sufficent to affect testicular development. However, the 2005 Journal of Neuroendocrinology warns that the effects of soy estrogen upon infant brain development are not well understood.

That must be what Hellboy's hopped-up on.

Back when my kids were in elementry school, group of us parents were chatting about how so many girls seem to be developing far earlier lately. Only thing we could figure out, was that it had to be the formula, since breastfeed babies didn't seem to get boobies earlier then others girls were.

Guess that why there are so many guys boobs over in the sandbox, these days too.

Actually, the early onset of puberty has more to do with growth hormone in animal products (most especially dairy, since it tends to be most heavily excreted in milk) than with formula. And it affects boys, too. I was speaking with a mother just last week whose 8 year old son was starting to get what she described as "a man's B.O." until she switched over to hormone-free products.

It's probably likely that the girls who were breastfed were also not given cow's milk as much as those who were formula fed. And depending on when your kids were that age, it's possible that no one really knew anything about growth hormones and the benefits of organic products at that time.

I could go into a big rant over how little this information is being disseminated and just who is benefitting from keeping it quiet, but I'll settle for donning my tin-foil hat. I will say, I've never been all that concerned with organic foods for my own sake, but now with a kid on the way, we're finding room in the budget to at least go with organic dairy.

I referred to your evidence, as in "despite what Joph found, good or bad, you do know that site is run by a bunch of wack jobs, right Dano?"

Well, I'm allergic to soybeans and soy products, so that throws THAT theory right out.

And to further debunk the website, I have a HUGE *****.

I eat soy all the time, and my ***** is also massive.

Won't believe it until you PM me a pic.

For him, if there was a chance that 10 years from now a study would come out confirming it, at least I did my part by not eating entire blocks of tofu at night. (which I really did want to do)

With what? I eat it drowned in soy sauce.

I think you misunderstood me. I probably should have said "block of tofu". Meaning the entire big hunk of tofu.

I would just like to share a little story with guys about this subject. I have no idea whether any of this is true or false but I will tell you about my uncle and his two little boys.

My Uncle used to be a really cool guy, he was an Army ranger in the 101st, rode around on a harley, and was always very active with outdoor sports. He also used to rebuild old muscle cars, which was always fun to help him with.

Then he went back to college to become a chiropractor, he did this at some school out in San Diego, CA. In the 4-5 years that he was out there, he started eating all organic foods and living what I call the 21st century hippie life style. When he would come home for the holidays he would become weirder and weirder. He would also try and push his new life style onto the rest of our family, which did not go over very well btw. Now that he is home and has opened up his chiropractic office no one in my family really talks to him anymore due to his "new" personality and lifestyle.

Now comes the part where I tell you all about his two sons. His oldest son was mothered by a very normal young woman. She was a very good looking, fun girl who ate normally and was not afraid to party. There son started out being very normal, a typical boy. Then they split up, his ex-girlfriend got primary custody of their son, with my uncle being able to see him on weekends and holidays and such.

His second son was mothered by a 21st century hippie woman, who for a very long time has led that hippie lifestyle. From the very beginning this son was fed all organic food and such. Even from the time his personality started to show you could tell he seemed very.... girlie. Which still holds true to this day, he is 6 years old now.

Now both of my uncle's son's eat all organic food. His oldest son has to eat that way because the court deemed it a fair grievance in their custody agreement . That happened several years ago by the way. With his oldest son being 9 or 10 years old and the youngest being 6, I can personally say that both of them will grow up to be gay. They are two of the most feminine boys that I have ever seen at that age.

This could be pure coincidence that they eat all organic food and live the "hippie" lifestyle. But knowing my uncle and how much he has changed makes me believe that the soy, or some other food by-product has changed him and his sons.

Well that's my argument story, perhaps it will give a little insight into what the OP's linked article was talking about.
