Answer: Well, protein is protein whether it comes from
meat, milk, or soy. A soy protein is just a
vegetarian alternative for those that don't want
to have an animal source. As such, it can help men
just as much as women. Most people think of the
lecithin being for women, but it isn't in soy
protein, it's in the soy fat.... and lecithin
helps men as much as women.No, soy won't make you
grow breasts.... only estrogen can do that. Yes,
there are some plant hormones in soy, but not in
the proteins. Soy has protein, fat (phospholipids,
for example), plant hormones, and soy germ.... all
do different things for different people, but each
is separate in it's own right.In addition to that,
there is a LOT of debate about the benefits and
deficits of soy in the general supplement
community. You'll hear a lot of people say that
soy is awful and will kill you, while some say
it's the best thing since vitamin C. There is no
conclusive research about how good/bad it is for
you long term, but a lot of our customers get a
lot of benefits from SOME parts of soy for
cholesterol health, brain function, hormonal
health, and a vegetarian protein source.

Question #14: Negative effects of soy protein in men?
Without thinking about it (except to compare the
price of soy supplement mix to that of whey
supplement [costlier]), I've been drinking soy
protein isolate shake mix after having had wisdom
teeth taken out last week. As a source of protein,
since I read that a high-protein diet can help in
such healing.Then I noticed a complete drop-off in
libido. Initially saw this is in a neutral
context. Neither here nor there.After searching
the subject online, however, I find that some
sites (bodybuilder types) advocate against men
consuming soy protein (due to its proven ability
to reduce testosterone levels and introduce
estrogen chemicals, I guess), and some bodybuilder
types claim that its effects on testosterone and
sperm levels could be permanent.Although the
current side effects are interesting, should I
stop consuming it altogether? My plan was to have
it until my gums healed next week; but if the
damage is permanent, I'll cease. Just wondering
what's true and what's not.After now reading a few
more studies, I think it's best to be on the safe
side and return my soy protein for some whey
protein.I checked the labels of all the
nutritional drinks and so on that I've consumed
the past week and a half -- I think I've eaten a
ton of soy protein isolate. Yikes.I just hope the
effects aren't permanent. Any experiences/stories
would be appreciated, as it relates to whether a
return to normal libido should be expected after
ceasing consumption. I just never had a chance to
make a (lifelong) decision as a consumer based on
side-effect criteria, since I didn't know the side
effects.
Answer: There is no scientific basis for this claim, I was
drinking 50-10 grams of soy protein for a long
time, for much the same reason as you, price. I
have recently found a place to buy cheaper plain
whey protein so I mix mine 50 percent whey and 50
percent Soy. In any event all of the things your
reading about have to do with the fact that soy
protein is very chemically similar to that of
estrogen. However there have been several studies
that have looked at this, and I have yet to find
one that indicates any correlation. There are
lots of things that are chemically similar that
don't have the same effects. I wouldn't stress
about it to much.

Question #15: Is it safe to use Whey and Soy Protein drinks at the same time?
What I'm wondering is it possible, and is it safe,
to use Soy and Whey Protein Mixes in the same
drink. Like a mix of one scoop of Whey, one scoop
Soy? I'm trying to "bulk up" and I know
both mixes are good for you, but I'm not sure the
best way to do this? Help me!!! lol
Answer: Go with pure Whey, soy protein carries estrogen
which you don't want if you want to bulk up.
