The really funny thing about this is OP is egregiously wrong.

Soy doesn't contain estrogen, it contains phytoestrogen, which not only doesn't produce any estrogen-like side-effect, but actively prevents our bodies from taking and producing estrogenic hormones.

This is all very ironic, considering drinking ~~excessive~~ cows milk ~~leeches calcium out of our bones and~~ exposes us to a smorgasbord of hormones not designed for humans.

Soy is shit tier anyway, oat milk all the way.

Doesnt cowmilk also actually have estrogen in it? Making it even more ironic?

If soy did do this, red states would be trying to regulate it so trans people couldn't buy it.

This leeching effect is not true. It's a myth spread by alt-health providers.

I haven't totally believed this, but I also think its potentially useful to spread anyway. Sure, misinformation is bad, but so is climate change. Which one is worse?

[–] Clent@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Misinformation is always worse in the long run.

If people find out you knowingly lied about one thing, they'll assume you lied about other things that are more important, regardless of evidence.

Climate change being an excellent example of this where it wasn't so much lies as bad guesses and so many people dismissed it despite the growing evidence.
