Japan has a high soy inclusive diet and they are struggling with an extremely low birth rate at the moment, not to mention that many of the young males these days identify as metrosexuals. It's a big concern there.I was being a little mean in my last comment, so I went ahead and deleted it. I have read, heard, and had a lot of conversations about Soy in the male diet. Looking at the medical studies, they are inconclusive. One population we can look at is asian countries, lets take China as an example:
Soybean also called "Shu" in ancient Chinese, is one of the five main plant foods in China along with rice, wheat, barley and mille. Soybean is orginated in China and has been cultivated for about 5000 years.
The effect of Soy on the Asian male population has not established a link to increased estrogen correlation from consumption.
Before the this topic goes down the drain, as so many others have on the intertubes, I will just say, no ladyboy references please and thank you.
Some people are okay with eating a byproduct of oil processing, though I wonder what the long-term effects will be.
I'll stick to my bacon, beef, chicken, elk, turkey, venison... things i can grow/hunt/raise myself.
You make some good points, since I didn't have bags of hominy or brown rice in my pantry, I did not go that route. I do however have a large supply of this that I rotate since I eat it as a regular staple food. I have been going 5 years now, I keep the balance and keep the boredom away by eating/cooking a regular meal with my wife every night.Hominy - 5 cents per 100 calories - 25 cents per 500 calories - $1 for 2000 calories. In a can it can have a shelf life of ten years or more. You can take it out of the can, let it dry, crush it into flour by hand, make various breads with it and so on.
Brown rice - $1 per pound, 500 calories per pound. Hypo-allergenic (most anybody can tolerate it). Has a lot of fiber.
Nothing against soy per se, but there there are less expensive staples that have fiber and other benefits. It isn't necessarily good to eat so much of one thing every day. Vary your intake so that you don't get bored with it and have a better balanced diet.
