Tofu makes you gay

At least, that's what this idiot is saying (http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53327). (Side note--this is the sort of thing that makes me laugh hysterically when someone cites WorldNet Daily as a source.)
There's a slow poison out there that's severely damaging our children and threatening to tear apart our culture. The ironic part is, it's a "health food," one of our most popular.

Now, I'm a health-food guy, a fanatic who seldom allows anything into his kitchen unless it's organic. I state my bias here just so you'll know I'm not anti-health food.

The dangerous food I'm speaking of is soy. Soybean products are feminizing, and they're all over the place. You can hardly escape them anymore....

Soy is feminizing, and commonly leads to a decrease in the size of the penis, sexual confusion and homosexuality. That's why most of the medical (not socio-spiritual) blame for today's rise in homosexuality must fall upon the rise in soy formula and other soy products. (Most babies are bottle-fed during some part of their infancy, and one-fourth of them are getting soy milk!) Homosexuals often argue that their homosexuality is inborn because "I can't remember a time when I wasn't homosexual." No, homosexuality is always deviant. But now many of them can truthfully say that they can't remember a time when excess estrogen wasn't influencing them.

Doctors used to hope soy would reduce hot flashes, prevent cancer and heart disease, and save millions in the Third World from starvation. That was before they knew much about long-term soy use. Now we know it's a classic example of a cure that's worse than the disease. For example, if your baby gets colic from cow's milk, do you switch him to soy milk? Don't even think about it. His phytoestrogen level will jump to 20 times normal. If he is a she, brace yourself for watching her reach menarche as young as seven, robbing her of years of childhood. If he is a boy, it's far worse: He may not reach puberty till much later than normal.

What's next? Cauliflower will give you big ears? Soy's been a significant part of diets in many parts of the world for millenia now, and will be into the future.

On topic, I'm wondering why he doesn't cite any sources to back up his claims...such as "Research in 2000 showed that a soy-based diet at any age can lead to a weak thyroid" or "Worse, there's now scientific evidence that estrogen ingredients in soy products may be boosting the rapidly rising incidence of leukemia in children"...:rolleyes:

Soya does contain a lot of oestrogen, which is why men should consume it conservatively, but it won't change anyone's sexuality.

I'd rather have milk from soybeans than have milk from cows that have been loaded with hormones that cause them to produce more milk.
Drinking organic milk will solve that problem. Soya won't, necessarily, unless it is also organic. Soya beans are also among the crops most likely to be GM.

Indeed, and one would consider the "rising" levels not at all indictive of anything.

Homosexuals exist in every culture, throughout the world, and is no way more widespread in one region or the next. The only reason why it "seems" to be growing is due to population growth, which in turn means that more people of any orientation(not just sexual) are going to exist than before.

And let's not get into the various culture problems, and stigmas towards homosexuality, and up until recently, it was almost impossible to "come out" without being lynched.

Meh, some things are cross the board, regardless of religion.

Usually it's along the lines of "It's not a natural thing biologically"(Which is untrue, and leads me to believe these people don't know what they are talking about), or the classic "It's disgusting." There are even a few whom seem to think that homosexuals have the magical ability to gayify everything they touch.

Beer is also supposed to help produce breast milk, according to old wives and their tales.

As for the OP, the article is correct about the high estrogen levels in unfermented soy products, and their prevalence in processed foods.

His claims about the effects of soy are odd enough, however, that more support would be needed before I believe them.

And I may be mistaken, but I thought tofu was also low in estrogen.

Soy and Estrogen

Soy contains estrogen-like compounds, not estradiol. The plant sources of estrogen in soy are weak estrogens, approximately 1/1000th the activity of synthetic estrogens. A moderate amount of soy containing foods should not be a problem. Soy products, such as tofu, contain compounds which are very similar in structure and function to estrogen, therefore they have both anti-estrogenic and estrogenic effects. These compounds are called isoflavones.

It is noted in the consensus statement that the safety of isoflavones at specific amounts has not been established and to receive potential health benefits, it is preferable to obtain isoflavones from whole foods. Approximately 25 grams a day of soy protein in soy foods provides approximately 50 mg/day of isoflavones (mg isoflavones=approximately 2X soy protein amount). Average soy protein intake / amount of isoflavones is listed below for the following foods (Soy Protein Partners):

1 cup fortified soy milk: 7 grams of soy protein / 43 mg isoflavones
1/2 cup tofu: 10 grams soy protein / 25 mg isoflavones
1/2 cup cooked soy beans: 14 grams soy protein / 50 mg isoflavones
1/4 cup soy nuts: 15 g protein / 78 mg isoflavones

Please also see more information about soy and estogen at

Not that I'm asking for it, of course.

I return the compliment, my honourable tea-drinking comrade. I have been trying over the last term to convince friends in my block at uni of the benefits of tea drinking. Alas, they are barbaric in their beverage consumption and unwelcoming of the true power of tea drinking.

Surely the real question here is what soy allegedly does to heterosexual females? Do we end up with ultra-feminine women?

Once again, it's flavorless and oddly textured. I don't see why anyone would even need to worry about it turning them gay, because it's totally not delightful.

If anything, people should worry about tofu turning them into asexual androids.

"Eat twelve pounds of tofu, and your penis disappears!"

Sorry, but when something has absolutely no flavor and such a funky texture, you have to wonder just what the hell is going on with it.

*Ritually sips tea*

But back on topic, if he's so averse to "feminine" behavior in biological males, I take it he prasises it in biological females? So it's okay to give soya to girls?

Does this strike anyone else as an insidious conspiracy to modify the African demographic by restricting food-aid?

*shrug* I actually like tofu in some Asian dishes. But it truly doesn't have much of a taste of its own. Depending on how it's cooked, it will either taste of the spices that were included or a lot like chicken.

Cooked in some ways, it seems a lot like the consistency of a bread, in others, people can't tell it from chicken.

I've always thought of tofu as a carrier for sauces. I don't object to the texture and if it's fried up nice and crisp on the edges, it's quite tasty. My Lady can't stand it, but then the poor girl from a landlocked area doesn't like lobster, either.

yeah tofu basically takes on teh flavor of whatever you cook it with.

I am not a big fan of it but I can cook with it and make it delicious if I want.

The texture is what puts me off the most.

I do love my edamame though - deee licious!

my penis isnt shrinking though - I wonder if I'm preparing it wrong.

It's not a question of political correctness. there are legitimate health concerns with overconsumption of soy, including many raised by Mothering Magazine. http://www.mothering.com/articles/growing_child/food/soy_story.html

as for Asian consuption, here's an exerpt from the above mentioned article:

"How Much Soy Do Asians Really Eat?
Those who dare to question the benefits of soy tend to receive one stock answer: Soy foods couldn't possibly have a downside because Asians eat large quantities of soy every day and consequently remain free of most western diseases. In fact, the people of China, Japan, and other countries in Asia eat very little soy. The soy industry's own figures show that soy consumption in China, Indonesia, Korea, Japan, and Taiwan ranges from 9.3 to 36 grams per day.1 That's grams of soy food, not grams of soy protein alone. Compare this with a cup of tofu (252 grams) or soy milk (240 grams).2 Many Americans today think nothing of consuming a cup of tofu, a couple glasses of soy milk, handfuls of soy nuts, soy "energy bars," and veggie burgers. Infants on soy formula receive the most of all, both in quantity and in proportion to body weight. "

There's a right and a wrong way to eat tofu.

Done as a part of most authentic Chinese, Korean, or Japanese dishes, it's great stuff.

Done as part of some American health shake - it's vomitous.
