Soy Products and Man Boobs

LaSenza ke tu?
Have you heard people say it's not good for a guy to drink too much soy milk/eat soy products for fear that they will grow man boobs, has erectile dysfunction and become infertile? 

NO IT IS NOT TRUE.

Research have shown that taking soy products WILL NOT CAUSE feminization (increase estrogen and reduce testosterone, grow man boobs, reduced fertility).

The phytoestrogen (that mimics estrogen's effect in the body) is not strong enough to cause this.

Plus when people say "take too much", exactly how much is too much?

The health benefits of taking soy far outweigh the perceived disadvantage.

Here are some facts on soy.
  • Has variety of essential nutrients i.e proteins, fiber, vitamins and minerals, is naturally cholesterol-free, a source for the omega-3 essential fatty acid ALA.

  • contains isoflavones and other antioxidants that are highly beneficial to your health (lowers cholesterol, heart-healthy, helps in post-menopausal symptoms).
    • It contains some estrogen-like compounds (phytoestrogens). Studies showed MODERATE quantities of soy do not significantly affect hormone levels in men. 
    • Some studies have shown that regular intake of soy products can increase breast cancer risks in women. Other studies, however, have found the exact opposite. Soy estrogen can also interfere with breast cancer chemotherapy and medication. If you are a current breast cancer patient or have a history of breast cancer, you should consult with your doctor before drinking soy milk.

    Whatever it is, be moderate. Be smart in choosing your soy milk. Per 250 ml serving, look for 8 to 10 grams of protein. 

    You also should limit refined sugar as flavored soy beverages can have as much as 21 grams of sugar (5 teaspoons worth) per serving.

    Harmony Valley Retreat Di Janda Baik: Weekend Getaway Yang Mendamaikan

    Harmony Valley Retreat Di Janda Baik: Weekend Getaway In Lush Misty Mountain This staycation was what, late last year? Somewhere in November I think, during Deepavali long weekend. Vacation yilek, staycation pun jadilah sis.  Personally, I find that staycation is much more relaxing because you don't have to go through the hassle of planning your itinerary. Most of all, you don't have to go through the stress of traveling. Urghhh, few hours to & fro airport, waiting at the airport, the stress and anxiety of going through immigration and such. Just thinking about it makes me tired. #sisaging So anyway, back to Harmony Valley Retreat. You know la, sis ni suka tempat yang aman, back to nature, nyaman sejuk-sejuk. Untuk lari daripada hiruk pikuk kota metropolitan. And Harmony Valley Retreat is just the perfect place to rejuvenate, recharge & relax.

    Sunlight Suite: Introvert's Heaven In Cameron Highland

     Sunlight Suite: Introvert's Heaven In Cameron Highland I told myself I'll not revisit Cameron Highlands since it became so crowded, busy, and overdeveloped in recent years. I might have changed my mind after I found this beautiful hidden gem. Honestly, it really is challenging to find a place that ticks all the boxes for an ideal introvert's getaway in a touristy place like Cameron Highlands. With lots of research, you can and for me, that place is Sunlight Suite . Going on a long weekend, I already mentally prepared myself for the infamous non-moving weekend traffic jam in Cameron Highlands.  "Going to Cameron on a long weekend?! You crazy ahh?!" my friend said.  But to my surprise, the traffic was pretty smooth. It also helps that I departed quite late from KL (3pm-ish) via Tapah route and reached Sunlight Suite around 7pm.  Little English Cottage In The Tropics Moonlight Bungalow Picture credit to https://www.sunlightsuite.com/moonlight-bungalow/   Sunlight...

    Amboi Kemain Kau Hakak

    Uols pernah tak jumpa manusia muka tebal yang meminta pertolongan uols tetapi no common sense, common courtesy whatsoever? Demanding lagi pulak tu Iols dah experience dalam kisah Amboi Kemain Kau Makcik . Kisah kali ini bukan dialami oleh CPPS tetapi kawan gym iols, yang kita namakan Jay. Beberapa minggu yang lepas, Jay ajak iols berFriday-Night kat Havana, Changkat dengan beberapa orang kawan dia.  Although I'm tempted to join, but the thought of a nice home-cooked dinner, followed by a cup of coffee while watching movie in the comfort of my own home is more inviting. Plus she's going with friends of her friend, people who I don't really know. So I said no. Bila iols jumpa Jay lagi beberapa hari lepas tu kat gym, iols tanyalah "How was Havana?" Belum lagi dia jawab soalan iols, dia pulak tanya soalan kat iols "After clubbing right, you go home or go somewhere else like hotel ke apa?" " I go home lah. If I go clubbing, it...
