ive been saying that soy based protein and foods should be avoided because it lowers testosteroe, for about 2-3 years now, i love how no one listens to me, and all of a sudden someone writes an article and its breaking news to these people. maybe its just cause i dont post on T-Nation boards.

I have always avoided it, but many times we unknowingly consume it. I hope my Quaker Oats doesn't secretly contain any of this crap.

A lot of foods and even protein bars contain it.. at low amounts, its doubtful that it would cause any problems thuogh

I still dont trust it. I just looked @ my orbit gum and it has Soy lectin in it...

time to find a new gum

i interperated the article as a little soy in your diet isnt a bad thing, its the vegans and ppl who comsume lots of it- right?

**DarkFalcon** · 04-03-2007, 08:46 PM

Very interesting. I've always avoided consuming large quantities of Soy but it sounds like it should be avoided if at all possible.

I would be amazed if chewing Orbit gum had negative effects on your testosterone levels. I think you're reading too deep into this.
