FWIW I think it also has to do with the way the soybean is processed.

A Canadian Indian community living on ancestral lands at the eastern tip of Lake Huron, hemmed in by one of the biggest agglomerations of chemical factories on earth, gives birth to twice as many girls as boys. It's the same around Seveso in Italy, contaminated with dioxins from a notorious accident in the 1970s, and among Russian pesticide workers. And there's more evidence from places as far apart as Israel and Taiwan, Brazil and the Arctic.

You'd think if that's true, then that alone would send governments into Manhattan Project mode to learn beyond a doubt what's causing this, then implement changes to correct it. This is all pretty amazing to read and realize that governments are doing little to address it.

Soy! Don’t feed boys any products that contain soy - ever. And if you don’t want that little girl to become a woman too fast, don’t give her soy products either.

Is that why Asian men tend towards being somewhat skinny, and relatively effeminate?

No. It is a myth that Asians eat a lot of soy products. Americans eat far far more. Asians DO eat a lot of soy sauce, but it is fermented and all estrogen-like compounds are eliminated in the process.

***DISTILLER. Tastes great, and you NEED one if you have boys.***

That is why I only drink pure grain alcohol and distilled water, to preserve my precious bodily fluids!

“preserve my precious bodily fluids”

yawn. every time this issue come up, someone trots that non-argument out.

I’m sorry I can’t show you estrogen in the water, but having studied chemistry, I can assure you that it can be there despite you not being able to see it.

If you want to drink estrogen in your water, please, go ahead. No one’s stopping you. You can have my share.

It matters more for small boys than grown men though.

Why anyone would want to randomly attack that fact is beyond me.

“soy products. Americans eat far far more”

unknowingly. Try buying bread without soy. Not easy.

I think chicken can be a problem, too, because they’re given female hormones to enlarge the breasts. My SIL only feeds her boys chicken that has no additives like this. It’s more expensive, and they don’t have much money, but they don’t want their sons to be effeminate. There’s something about milk, too, but I can’t remember what it is.

Eat lots of broccoli, cabbage

In growing boys? Broccoli and cabbage interact with hormone chemistry. This effect is believed to reduce cancer in adult men, and that subject has been studied extensively, but how does it affect growing boys?

From the comments section of the article:

“Interesting point, however, you neglect to mention that the largest source of estrogen or estrogen “mimickers” comes from the synthetic estrogens used in contraceptives. An American biologist conducted a fish sampling study a few years back in Colorado (I believe if memory serves)downstream from the municipal waste water discharge. The sampling of fish revealed the vast majority were female.”

I`ve also read an article about the huge impact (not good) medications are having on the environment. Our bodies use only a small amount of say, a blood pressure pill, and the rest is excreted. Then these medications are absorbed by wildlife with negative consequences. The human race won`t be satisfied with just killing off our species. We`re going to make sure we kill off all other life on this planet, also.

... so I am mostly a meat eater.
“How’s that cholesterol coming along for you?”

Don`t you know that the dangers of cholesterol is just a myth made up by socialist, Marxist, pinko commies to stop “real” men from eating “real’ meat?

A wiki article on indole-3-carbinol, which occurs in large amounts in cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts, alters estrogen metabolism. It should be noted that indiscriminant overuse of indole-3-carbinol supplements in hopes of preventing cancer may be unwise, as hormone balance should be tested before regular consumption. Such caution is advised, due to its effect on estrogen levels (estrogen has a significant impact on brain function).

It doesn't sound safe to be messing with estrogen metabolism in growing boys. Boys have a natural dislike for these foods and there is probably something to that.

I’d never heard about the soy thing. Thanks

I hope it doesn’t make me want to cut my long hair off, though.

The foods I listed are good for testosterone production.

You might have a point. But it should be good for adult males who want a testosterone supportive nutrition.

Oh for heaven sake, lighten up. Everyone knows that line from Dr. Strangelove and this was the PERFECT place to put it.

As for my household, my wife chooses to keep me broke by buying Culligan bottled water but I have no problem drinking well water with lots of coliform in it or common city water.
Heck, my teeth are in good shape (for my age)from all the well water I drank as a kid loaded with NATURAL fluride.

I have my own theory about the efemininazion of men and it has nothing to do with soy. It is a cultural thing as men no longer train their boys to be men, leaving that job to the women who try to “womanize” them, and the schools who do not let boys naturally mature but must browbeat them in submission.

Till the last 70 years it was normal for a woman to dress a baby boy as a girl till he was about two, then the men took over and taught them the arts of being men.

Now, baby boys are still dressed as girls, then at two years the woman tries to make the boy into HER VERSION of what she thinks a man should be.

Then when they do go to school the efiminized teachers try to “womanize” them even more. Many schools have even done away with the “Shop” courses which taught boys welding and woodworking courses.

***unknowingly. Try buying bread without soy. Not easy.***

Flour, yeast, salt, water or real milk. Oven.

Easy.

Unfortunately, it's not just the estrogen in the water. There are many substances that are in the water supply. The disruption of the development of the fetus is the problem. Check out the book “Our Stolen Future”.

IIRC, one of the problems with the demise of the Roman Empire was the lead pipes they used for their plumbing system. Human beings solve one problem, but then inadvertently create another.

There may be soemthing to this story- girls certainly are maturing at much earlier ages than they used to (this, despite hte fact that peopel are living longer- which logically thinking, should mean they mature later- not earlier in life), getting hteir periods earlier, developping breasts earlier etc etc etc- this was supposedly linked to hormones added to meat awhile ago.

While society in general are sissifying men, I do think chemicals wreak havoc with hormones as well- hormones are a delicate balancing act, and when somethign gets out of whack, several hormones are affected and can have various bad effects on hte person, and hwen you add in societies sickening sissification of men to the mix, kids today just don’t stand a chance
