Heard back on soy milk. Around two cups of soy a day is fine with my estrogen (about a gallon a week).

And two gallons is not. And since I get a lot of phytoestrogens elsewhere in my diet, I'm switching milks (maybe almond, oat is expensive for some reason). And switching to tea generally, since almond and oat milk in coffee doesn't do it for me.

I can't believe you were drinking so much soy milk it was interfering with your hormones and it wasn't even feminizing, we were lied to by conservatives circa 2010s

Part of me was down with it giving me more sensitive nipples tbh. But it turns out the pharmacology is pretty complex and it doesn't really bind well to recptors. Prevents testosterone from breaking down into estrogen, and can both block and activate estrogen receptors.

It's really weak at any of this. So you have to be drinking like two gallons of soy milk a week for to be a big deal with HRT. Which was me lol

And I mostly vegetarian, so I'm getting a lot of phytoestrogens from almonds and tofu and all of that crap too. So, if I drop the soy milk from my diet I shouldn't have to worry about the rest. Soy milk in particular has a very high bioavailability. Everything else I just listed isn't such a big deal.

The Soy Milk Saga is easily one of the funniest things to happen in this thread honestly.
