Impossible Whopper Has 18M Times as Much Estrogen as a Regular Whopper

Phytoestrogens, which do not have the same effect on the human body.

> Just six glasses of soy milk per day has enough estrogen to grow boobs on a male.

This is patently false. If you don't accept "go read some research," consider this - what trans woman would go through the medical bureaucracy to get hormone therapy if she could just drink some soy milk? /r/TransDIY would be all over this if it worked.

Also, beer contains somewhere between 1-100 mcg phytoestrogens per 100 mL, depending on what source you trust.

> The Takeaway: Soy is a unique food that is widely studied for its estrogenic and anti-estrogenic effects on the body. Studies may seem to present conflicting conclusions about soy, but this is largely due to the wide variation in how soy is studied. Results of recent population studies suggest that soy has either a beneficial or neutral effect on various health conditions. Soy is a nutrient-dense source of protein that can safely be consumed several times a week, and is likely to provide health benefits—especially when eaten as an alternative to red and processed meat.

This title isn’t going to last long on HN. For posterity it currently says “Impossible Whopper has 18M Times as Much Estrogen as a Regular Whooper”.

A better one would be the real and less clickbaity one “Impossible burgers are made of what?” ...but not nearly as popular.

Uhh can I see a lab report.

This is a pretty incredible claim. 44mg of estrogen?! If true they could just pivot out of the food business and into the meds for transsexuals business. Somehow I have lingering doubts about the motives of "tri-state livestock news".

"Just six glasses of soy milk per day has enough estrogen to grow boobs on a male. That’s the equivalent of eating four impossible whoppers per day."

That's a little disturbing.

Ah yes well known unbiased news source "tri state livestock news"
