it does actually have plenty of phytoestrogens

you think because it has "estrogens" in the name it turns you into a girl. phyto- means plant. are you a plant?

recommended as a supplement for HRT.

by who? facebook?

by who? facebook?

You know what I've been seeing on Facebook lately (qualifier, I use it for my local village group and those last few friends that refuse to use anything else)? People posting the fact that the AstraZeneca vaccine used a modified chimpanzee adenovirus and implying this is the cause of the mpox business.

I would 100% bet they got it from Facebook!

I think I remember a 4chan post with the supplemental thing, might originate from there instead idk

I expect the soyboy stuff originated on 4chan. But I would believe the "evidence" for other people commenting about it is also on Facebook.

I mean on Facebook it kinda makes sense that the crazy rises to the top. The normal people limit their posts to friends only. You can spot the crazies. They have all posts set to world visible.

Nah, Facebook doesn't originate shit, it's too creatively bankrupt. It's just the amp for other forums

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 weeks ago

Exactly. It has a similar name in one of the ingredients. But: this ingredient is not estrogen and it basically has zero impact on the hormones in your body. And all experts know that. That's why there's no scientific papers supporting this whole soy / estrogen theory.

I dunno, just mentioning what I've heard before, hence the 'afaik'
