Ive heard some bad ? about it. Apparently it has estrogen in it and it should be avoided. But it has a lot of protein in it and i cant keep eating sardines and reeking like fish so i am considering trying it out

Whats your experience with it?

    No. But, once you're grown it *likely* won't have *as bad* of an effect on you as if you as a dude grew up on it....as far as hormones and such. I can't call it though.

    I avoid it where possible as one of those better safe than sorry things.

    Lean beef, chicken, fish, hell even lean pork (i.e., top sirloin pork), turkey, shrimp, lobster, crab, blah blah....there are so many better protein choice options than (soy based) tofu and eggplant.

    If you wanna go all technical on the matter.......the protein absorption rate of soy is less than that of beef, chicken, or whey. Might as well maximize your growth potential if you're bustin your ass in the gym.

    Being a Vegan, soy is about the last option I have when I get that taste of "meat"
