      It’s not. Plant estrogens have a similar structure to human estrogen, but do not work the same in the human body. You can tell this is true because otherwise trans women would be downing soy milk like there was no tomorrow.

        Isn’t estradiol made from yams? Like you can’t just eat plants for their hormones even if you physically could eat enough the hormones still need processed to be noticably effective on humans, but plants are still a viable source

          It’s not extracted as-is from yams. Yams have diosgenin - which needs to be extracted, cleaned and then put through a few chemical processes to be useful.

          Plants are viable sources of precursors not of the end result, and many of these precursors aren’t useful in biological processes.

          Scientific studies have not shown Men to have substantial estrogen level changes from drinking soy.

      this crazy fuck is right. hormones and other substances released in the water/dumped in the water change the genetics of animals living there. but yes cOnsPirAcY tHeoRy… until it’s affecting you it’s all a joke
