OT: Just tried some Soy Milk

[20sometingtoo]

It tastes GREAT!

I was very surprised. Think I might stick with it from now on. Its much richer and really creamy - So good. I assume its better for you too?

Soy has been known to increase estrogen in men. Not sure you want that effect if you are taking finasteride already as well.

I would also bail on the GNC mega mans daily. Those things are potent as hell. I am the one who started the whole mega man fad on this site and sometimes I regret it. It was presented under only two circumstances:

1) That you are having sexual and libido problems with Propecia
2) That you take it for a few days at a time to restore your libido, then you stop.

I do not suggest taking that stuff daily for long periods of time. I really don't. Unless you are in a seriously tough physical training regimen, you are taking too much of everything with that stuff. A Centrum multivitamin will give you what you need.

Oh sh*t. I've been taking that stuff for years... Kidding. Yeah, I was about ready to drop Megamen anyway because, to tell you the truth, they are expensive and I noticed no difference when taking them.

As for the soy, I didnt know that it could increase estrogen. I'll look into that. Thanks for the tip.

I heard some one say once that soy milk tastes and smells like breast milk :shock:

I like breasts... and I like soy milk.... CORRELATION?!?!

Just like the correlation that masturbating and hairloss go hand to hand.(LOL, j/k newbies, just don't do it too much or you'll grow hair on your palms... or maybe you should do it a lot and take that hair growth from your palms and transplant it to your dome).

wait, wouldn't increasing estrogen be a good thing? So why would it be bad to take soy milk or extracts??

I think the whole soy/estrogen thing is something only to worry about if soy makes up a major daily part of your diet, as might be the case in some asian nations. I don't think that soy in small quantities affects your hormones, and yet still retains positive health benefits.

I drink a glass of soy milk each day, just a glass. One serving of the milk I drink is a very minor protein source and is a miniscule part of my entire protein intake, and yet even a serving this small contains 35mg of isoflavones, which have a measurable and very beneficial impact on the human cardiovascular system.
