In reply to Tom Kratman. One suspects that yes, it is a case of wimps eating soy more than soy creating wimps.

Aged cheeses don't have much lactose partly because the cultures used in cheesemaking convert lactose into perfectly-digestible lactic acid. The softer and fresher the cheese, the more lactose it'll contain, but even they don't contain as much compared to milk.

Indeed, sir. I reckon that small amounts of natural fermented soy on a regular basis probably doesn't have much of an estrogenic effect, and can be more than offset by hard exercise and consumption of fish and animal proteins and fats.

It's also probable that the demands on male bodies imposed by warfighting, in terms of amping up testosterone and adrenalin production, would offset the impact of even large substitutions of processed soy for meat.

But it seems that consumption of processed soy in peacetime, along with a sedentary lifestyle, doesn't do us men any favours at all.

Of course, it could simply be that the fact that soy consumption is high among liberaltards just means that they don't have the balls to eat meat and work out… Correlation not being causation, and all that jazz…

Mmmm…among the lessons, painful and useful, the Germans learned in the Great War was that they couldn't feed themselves in the absence of imports, without recourse to all kinds of weird shit, from Rogenmehlkaffe to soy. I recall a fruit drink I bought there once that had the label, translated as best I can recall after 42 years, "absolutely 100% guaranteed not to contain coal oil." I suspect that the wars were how coal oil made its way into the diet. Like I said, "weird shit."

I have a book on the feeding of the German Army in WW II which includes an article from a nutritionist MD, heavily congratulating both that army and himself on the heavy substitution of soy for meat. That was, though, a matter of necessity. Still, it didn't seem to hurt their battlefield performance.

What I suspect is that the presence of soy is not the problem, but that the absence of meat protein and animal fats is.
