Am I drinking too much soy milk?

[thisislifebaby]

I don't eat any dairy or gluten and I tend to go thought one litre of lite soy milk every 2-3 days depending on weather I cook with it or not. Do you think this is too much?

Soy may be linked to an increased risk of breast cancer due to phytoestrogens, which are a group of chemicals that can act like the hormone estrogen. Long-term high levels of estrogen are linked to an increased risk of breast cancer, according to Cornell University. Their report on a year-long study confirmed that 28 women consuming soy had an increased growth of milk ducts in their breasts -- a leading precursor to cancer. Conclusions suggest that the cancerous effects from soy may be greatest in premenopausal women, but more study is needed to evaluate phytoestrogens' role on tumor growth and hormone levels in the body

What is your reasons for not eating dairy products, food without gluten, and only soy milk?

My guess is you have jumped on the bandwagon, almost every product has gluten in it, up until recently no one gave a rats ass about gluten, until someone probably a celebrity said something about gluten.

This whole don't eat this or that trend we have going on reminds of back in the day when people said don't drink mountain dew it shrinks your balls, because it contains yellow 5. It's just a fad that will soon fizzle don't believe everything you hear, you have a brain use it and think for yourself.

I try and stay away from soy milk and only ever have it when I'm at a coffee shop since that's the only dairy alternative most places carry. Other than possible negative effects with hormones/those with thyroid issues, there's also a lot of controversy right now with the soy industry in general, involving production and GMO's. Instead I drink a lot of almond milk, which I honestly think tastes a hundred times better anyway.

Nowadays, soy is quite "in" for vegetarians and some other kinds of people but in fact, most kinds of soy are unhealthy. Well, milk is also an issue under debate. It'd be healthier if you substitute milk and soy by other similar products like rice milk, almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk. you can also buy the ingredients and make it at home. Very delicious :)

Yes- there are certain hormones in soy that mess up people. Soy is part oof the reason girls are reaching puberty sooner. Almond or coconut milk are great solutions. I prefer almond milk though.

i think your doing fine. don't worry about. we all eat or drink too much of something. if your that worried about it, just cut it down. just do everything in moderation.

Get a job and stop worryin about nothin. Be more concerned with what comes out of your mouth, than what goes into it.

A liter every 2 days is too much... one litre every 3 days is normal...

I drink about half a litre every day or day and a half.

I don't think so, I know guys are not supposed to drink soy milk but I don't think there is anything wrong with how much you are having

[martyfellow]

There's no such thing as too much soy milk, so long as you aren't allergic to it...

[shumailkazimi]

[rachiee]

No, you're fine. I drink about the same amount.
