@Olivia normal red meat in amerika has enough hormones to give male kids mantits and make girls menarche at 9. i might go vegetarian or at least cut my meat consumption this year.

@quad @Olivia article is kinda bullshit because it uses the comparison to soy products which don't feminize except in large quantities, and ignores that estrogen obviously does. the only question is how much estrogen does it take, which is never addressed by the article. Wikipedia tells me that average pregnancy a woman produces 100mg of estrogen a day, impossible burger is almost half that. hrt for transgender is like 40mg every two weeks. impossible burger has a fuck ton of estrogen.

@moonman @quad @Olivia if your conclusions are correct, some brave pleroma user ought to test this on himself. results should be evident in a matter of weeks.
it sounds ridiculous because it is, but i just can't get surprised anymore by the kind of poison they put in food these days.

phytoestrogen and endocrine disruptors consumption in particular are linked to the rising trend of gynecomastia in children and adults in developed countries. the health effects are legitimate.

@nik @Olivia the funny thing is that the medical field acknowledges the dangers of stuff like estrogen from plastics by urging parents to get baby bottles that don't use it but apparently once you're not a baby any more it's perfectly fit for consumption for literally no reason.
sorry for seriousposting on your shitpost

@jeffcliff you couldn't eat enough beef to make it happen assuming normal hormone levels, but american beef is hormone-supplemented so who knows. But the literature has a case of a guy growing breasts who drank three quarts of soy milk a day, which of course is an abnormally large amount.
