Amen bro. Pass the steak sauce. Wait, scratch that. Pass the cow blood!

Anyone know of any actual, reputable studies on links between hormones and sexuality?

I thought I had heard it all. But I guess they can't keep blaming it on choice when so many of their own keep proving them wrong. Remember Ted Haggard, now there's another evangelical preacher of a mega-church who's admitted the same. Too much tofu, boys?

I'll bet the beef industry loves this. I can hear their new slogan now: Beef, it will make you a real man!

Already done here. "Feed the man meat" was an old slogan. BTW, mushrooms cause claustrophobia, nuts send you round the twist.

The whole article is so laughable it's ridiculous... I'd love for the author to actually back up the crap he spews with something reputable. But I have a feeling he can't, since at best it's distorted and stretched truth.


Maybe I didn't get enough soy as a child and that's why I ended up gay and genderqueer? :biglaugh:

I wish these Conservative columnists would just come out of the closet already.

Djamila calls it!

If soy makes you gay, then since getting off dairy I must be the gayest white person in this country!

OK, maybe my daughter beats me out...she drinks more soy milk than I do.

Hm, is that why the most interesting "pick up" attempt she had while walking home from school was a 20 year old woman? Is all that soy she's drinking putting out some sort of gay vibe or something?

Oy vey and begorrah!

The problem is further exasperated by the large number of food products that are soya-based or indirectly contain soya-byproducts.

Whew...no kiddin' with the soy byproducts. My business partner has soy allergy. There's almost nothing she can eat that's "prepared." Even ketchup brands put soybean oil in them. "Gluten-free" products often use soy flour.

I have no random soy showing up in my kitchen. When we meet over lunch, I prefer to have her tuna salad stay down, thankyouverymuch. We use canola mayonnaise and soy-free products for everything short of actual tofu or soy milk, and obviously I don't feed any of those things to her.

If anyone's interested, herein lies an interesting article on soya:-
http://www.guardian.co.uk/food/Story/0,,1828158,00.html

Thanks! I'll pass that on to a few people who will be interested.

By the way, if anyone here is gluten-free, a goodly number of people who are sensitive/allergic to gluten are also allergic to soy.

Be sure, and get yourself checked out. Soy is everywhere.

The only thing more pernicious is corn.

However, the (somewhat more Christian) article's claims that there exists a direct link between the effects of soya food and sexuality are not only wildly unsubstantiated and reliant on a whole legion of (equally unsubstantiated) assumptions, but seemingly offers arguments that contradict the oft-spoused evangelical position that homosexuality is a choice, and a poor one at that.

Oh, but they CHOSE to eat soy, right! :sarcastic

You've been watching too many Forever Knight reruns, bubba! :dracula:

 

[Tigress]

I will not!!!

lol Frubals!

 

[lunamoth]

Perhaps I should have been a little clearer. By 'large quantities' I wasn't referring to, say, eating disorders or a diet containing naught but soya, but any diet that contains soya as a significant part of it. (Which would be more then first thought, given that roughly 60% of all processed food contains some form of soya).

Of course this is just a plot by the food industry to make us all secretly gay.

Soy will do a lot, but make someone gay???? Sure, ok, that's the ticket! By the way, I have some really good stock tips for you, and some beautiful swamp land to sell.

 

[mostly harmless]

Hmmm.

I still like boys....but then I have always been a tomboy...one of the guys....so maybe I am a gay man in a woman's body..:areyoucra

Bah; this was entirely the wrong thread to be a serious sausage in...

D)

 

[zombieharlot]

Wait a minute.... does the soy have the same effect on men and women? :areyoucra

If it's giving you loads of estrogen, wouldn't that make women *gulp* more effeminate?

*slowly puts down soy burger and backs away*

Ooh! Ooh! Give it to me then!

How much soy is eaten in China?

 

[Mike182]

i am shocked, appauled and disgusted with this:

Doctors used to hope soy would reduce hot flashes, prevent cancer and heart disease, and save millions in the Third World from starvation. That was before they knew much about long-term soy use. Now we know it's a classic example of a cure that's worse than the disease.

homosexuality is a disease, worse than Cancer and Heart disease?

[Guitar's Cry]

Soybeans can also be used to create biodiesal. And since real men don't drive sissy, treehugger cars, they must be the devil's bean!
