@load_of_5h1t @stationmum101 It states they were fed 600 mg/g a day for 5 weeks. People generally consume 45 mg in a day. This also was an animal study.

@IthacaFarmer @fatisourfriend Hmm consider:- - If soy phytoestrogens are used to to treat post-menopausal hormone lack in women then feeding to teenage boys may not be ideal - Meanwhile gynecomastia (man boobs!) [Safe intake must model hi consumption e.g. at every beverage occasion] https://t.co/Un8xEht0Rs
That said, there are also some interesting exceptions to that rule that are worth noting. In one case study, for instance, a man was referred to an endocrinology clinic for evaluation of his gynecomastia (“man boobs”). https://t.co/Mzzu7QzaV8
