does soy milk deplete testosterone?

Question:

I've heard soy milk will deplete the testosterone in men.
Maybe I spelled it wrong, if so correct me.
Answers:
Soy in large amounts can reduce your testosterone levels. Drinking soy milk is not going to reduce your testosterone levels at all. Soy has been shown, in some cases (not all), to increase estrogen levels, but only at high amounts of consumption. So if you're a bodybuilder and your primary source of protein is soy, then you'll experience the withdrawl of testosterone (given that you're consuming 100g+ of soy protein a day). One glass of soy milk has about 5-6g of soy protein in it, which will hardly have any effect on you. If you are taking soy supplements, limit the intake of them and consume other protein supplements like whey or caseinate with soy.

ya-cow is good soy milk turns you into a tulip

I've heard some of that crap too. I couldn't help but notice that those people who say that can never give me the scientific study that says that.

I say the whole soymilk/testosterone thing is bullhsit until someone produces a peer-reviewed study that says otherwise. Currently some studies show that soymilk reduces the risk of prostrate cancer in men. I haven't seen any studies that support the idea that soymilk makes men "lesser men".

From a soymilk site is this, "There is no evidence that men who eat moderate amounts of soy experience any feminizing effects, which is what I am guessing you are concerned about. Certainly we don’t see these effects in cultures where daily consumption of soy is common."

No it does not, soy milk is very good for most everything and for a few things like stomach irritants and such it is the best.
