Soy beans

Anything soy does not have natural estrogen that women produce as a hormone. Same with soy milk, it is a isoflavone and it is not estrogen itself that you find in women. While it is structured similarly like estrogen, it can have adverse effects to the body, such as binding to the estrogen receptors and messing up the whole hormone balance. Instead of producing more (as most believe) it instead does the exact opposite and reduces the natural estrogen and replaces it with isoflavones. Soy products have been used to reduce menopause effects due to this reason.

Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you didn't eat soy.

The only way to eat soy saftey is to have it fermented as it was in traditional Chinese cooking. Which unfortunetly is not done much today except more likely in rural areas due to this process taking a long time to properly break down the harmful compounds. But the worst thing is that soy is put in all kinds of mass produced foods. So unless you do a lot of scratch cooking your more than likely eating soy in one way or another. Now with meal planning and things like a crock pot you can make a lot of meals at home along with things like bone broth which will go a long way to helping lessen your exposure to soy. There is a site called Weston A Price Foundation that can give you more tips on how to lessen your soy exposure.

So I've heard that soy beans are bad for men because they lower the male hormone testosterone, but I wanted to ask if a woman consumes soy beans while her body actively produces the male hormone testosterone in her (like PCOS for example does), would consuming soy beans lower that and in turn help her manage and or potentially heal PCOS or excess male hormone?

It is the proteins in the soy that have such harmful effects. I am even allergic to soy, so I would know if something has soy in it in a way that is harmful. Soy sauce is harmless, it does not have any of these problems. Because the way it is fermented, all of the proteins are completely destroyed and reduced down to simple amino acids.
