    Does Soy cause manboobs?! Gynecomastia, Testosterone, Estrogen

    Does soy cause gynecomastia aka manboobs? Do the phytoestrogens in soy lower testosterone or cause breasts on men? A look at reported cases of soy-related gynecomastia, testosterone and estrogen levels. Gynecomastia tied to foods other than soyDoes eating soy cause manboobs?Gynecomastia can be caused by hormones. can soy also cause gynecomastia aka breasts on men?Soy contains phytoestrogens. estrogen after the female hormone. chemical structure similar to estrogenthe manboobs story took off after a case of gynecomastia in a man drinking a lot of soy milkscientists dispute the cause of gynecomastia: “not necessarily due to the phytoestrogens” in soy. it probably was related to the soy drink, when he stopped it his gynecomastia resolved. lets say it was the phytoestrogens, how common is gynecomastia tied to soy consumption? only a couple cases tying gynecomastia to soy.8y old boy with gynecomastia eating a lot of processed soy foods. soy nuggets, soy crumbles, soy chili. most reputable sources: soy is healthyBillions of people eating soy. tied to processed soy products not soy itselfif soy caused gynecomastia Japanese men would have breasts?maybe western men cant handle the phytoestrogens? Asian men dont have breasts. randomized trial: soy with or without phytoestrogens, “no changes in breast tissue”maybe only adults can handle phytoestrogens? study: children drinking soy formula vs no soy. none of the boys developed gynecomastia; "soy protein formula in early life does not seem to produce estrogen-like hormonal effects”ok so maybe eating soy doesn’t give me manboobs, but maybe it lowers my testosterone?Rats fed phytoestrogens have lower testosterone. amount of phytoestrogen that lowered testosterone was v. high compared to normal human consumptiondoes soy and phytoestrogen lower testosterone in humans?study found “No significant effect of soy protein or isoflavone (that’s the phytoestrogens) on Testosterone level”“neither soy protein nor isoflavones affect reproductive hormone concentrations in men”They looked at soy foods like tofu and soy milk, soy grits, soy flour as well as phytoestrogen supplementsoverview:“neither isoflavone supplements nor soy itself affect testosterone levels. no evidence that isoflavone affects estrogen levels in men”“isoflavones do not exert feminizing effects on men”“men can feel confident that making soy a part of their diet will not compromise their virility or reproductive health”so soy contains phytoestrogens which look like estrogen but the physiological role is differentin clinical trials phytoestrogens have no effect on many biological processes known to be affected by estrogen. in some cases they even do the opposite of estrogenit’s funny that people associate soy with gynecomastia because other foods are linked to a lot more casesgynecomastia reported in young boys in Puerto rico, meat samples with higher estrogen levels suspected outbreak in Italy with gynecomastia in very young girls and boys, poultry and beef suspected to be the cause.manboobs are a very common issue in our society but they’re not coming from soy. soy is health-promoting. edamame, tempeh, tofu. Some soymilk is ok tooif you're allergic or can't have soy, that’s ok, soy is not essential, you can have a healthy diet without soywe focused on gynecomastia today but we have a lot more soy material in the works. more detail on soy-based imitation meatsConnect with me:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrGilCarvalho/Twitter: https://twitter.com/NutritionMadeS3Animations: Even Topland @toplandmediaReferences:https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1530891X20433038https://www.endocrinepractice.org/article/S1530-891X(20)43301-4/fulltexthttps://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/jpem-2020-0397/htmlhttps://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/102/2/425/2972 Learn more about your ad choices.

    Scientist Answers: do Eggs raise your Cholesterol??

    Do eggs raise our cholesterol? Why are eggs, cholesterol and heart disease so controversial? A look at the evidence and sources of confusion on eggs, dietary and blood cholesterol.A lot of you asked about eggs and cholesterol. There’s a lot of confusion around eggs so let's focus on whether eggs raise blood cholesterol. Eggs have a lot of cholesterol but does that mean eating them raises my cholesterol levels? College students ate a large egg every day for three weeks and ended up with higher LDL-cholesterol, that’s the ‘bad’ cholesterol. Maybe they ate something else that raised their cholesterol? Can we give people eggs without them even knowing it? Scientists gave people egg or egg substitute (four times less cholesterol). When people start off with eggs their blood cholesterol level shoots up, switch them to the substitute, their cholesterol drops. If we start them off with the egg substitute cholesterol goes down a bit from baseline, switch to real eggs, cholesterol shoots up (and volunteers didn’t know when they were eating egg)Meta-analyses confirm eating cholesterol tends to raise our blood cholesterol levels. But the effect of food on our cholesterol level depends on context. If your cholesterol levels are low, the more cholesterol you eat, everything else being equal, the higher your blood cholesterol level will tend to go. But as you get to higher blood levels, the effect peters out.Let’s say i want to prove that eggs don’t affect blood cholesterol levels. How can I do the experiment to get that result? 1) Take someone who already eats a lot of cholesterol and has high blood cholesterol, and ask if adding a little bit more in their diet makes a difference? Probably not2) compare eggs to something that also raises cholesterol. Like red meat or butter (high in saturated fat). My cholesterol level is affected by the cholesterol I eat, but also saturated fat, unsaturated fats, fiber etc.3) acknowledge that LDL-cholesterol goes up with eggs but argue that’s fine because HDL-Cholesterol also goes up. if you saw our video on LDL and HDL you may remember raising HDL-cholesterol doesn’t affect heart disease risk so this argument is not compellingThe egg industry funds many of the studies.So eggs raise our cholesterol levels in general. Is it okay to eat eggs or not?Example A: good health, great cholesterol levels, eats an egg here and there because he likes it. B: lipids are out of whack, high cholesterol, eats five eggs a day because he thinks he “needs the protein”. So are eggs good or bad? Eggs aren’t necessary but it’s also not true that if your diet includes some eggs it’s automatically unhealthy.I don’t eat eggs personally but at the end of the day it’s less about specific foods and more about the overall dietary pattern. A diet high in saturated fat and cholesterol will raise your cholesterol, with or without eggs, and a diet high in fiber and unsaturated plant fats will have the opposite effect, even if you sometimes eat eggs.People often ask about Egg whites. In all likelihood they won’t raise your blood cholesterol as much (they lack the fat and cholesterol fraction). But when people ask about egg whites it’s often rooted in the notion that we need massive amounts of protein from specific foods like eggs. So if you eat egg whites here and there because you enjoy them and you’re generally healthy I don’t see a problem but if you’re slamming egg whites as a staple source of protein because you’re stressing out about getting enough protein, chances are you don’t need to. our society’s protein fixation is not conducive to health. In this video we covered LDL, HDL and what they mean and this one goes over the best foods your cholesterol.Connect with me:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrGilCarvalho/Twitter: https://twitter.com/NutritionMadeS3Animations: Even Topland @toplandmediaReferen Learn more about your ad choices.
