Hi,

I've seen several people on this ng talking about avoiding soy and

I've never really used soy products before going low-carb, but I'm
not having any problems with them now that I'm aware of.

Soy is a source of phytoestrogens, which is just a fancy way of saying
plant-sourced estrogens. Some people are not able to stick extra
estrogens in their system without getting symptoms like tender
breasts, water retention, etc. That's why I have to avoid a lot of
soy. If I wanted that kind of misery I'd take BC pills. ;-) Others
avoid soy because there's some evidence that overconsumption (the
definition of which varies from person to person) can negatively
impact on thyroid function.

Take care,

Wow, WOW, W O W .....
That explains my tender breasts.

My dick is tender too. Is that because of the soy bean I ate last
week, or because I have to jack off all the time now, ever since I
left my wife. She was spending all her time with some maggot ridden
dead guy named Atkins. She loved him more than me, so I left her.
