It is a badge i would wear with honor, because soy is awesome and the myth is bullshit.

afaik, it's not really a myth. it does actually have plenty of phytoestrogens and it's often recommended as a supplement for HRT. Probably not enough to have much of an effect on its own though

it does actually have plenty of phytoestrogens

you think because it has "estrogens" in the name it turns you into a girl. phyto- means plant. are you a plant?

recommended as a supplement for HRT.

by who? facebook?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Exactly. It has a similar name in one of the ingredients. But: this ingredient is not estrogen and it basically has zero impact on the hormones in your body. And all experts know that. That's why there's no scientific papers supporting this whole soy / estrogen theory.

but you see, the whole of Asia is made up of just women so that proves it! /s

I dunno, just mentioning what I've heard before, hence the 'afaik'

by who? facebook?

You know what I've been seeing on Facebook lately (qualifier, I use it for my local village group and those last few friends that refuse to use anything else)? People posting the fact that the AstraZeneca vaccine used a modified chimpanzee adenovirus and implying this is the cause of the mpox business.

I would 100% bet they got it from Facebook!

I think I remember a 4chan post with the supplemental thing, might originate from there instead idk

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I expect the soyboy stuff originated on 4chan. But I would believe the "evidence" for other people commenting about it is also on Facebook.

I mean on Facebook it kinda makes sense that the crazy rises to the top. The normal people limit their posts to friends only. You can spot the crazies. They have all posts set to world visible.
