Concerned about #manboobs ? You’ve probably have

Concerned about #manboobs ? You’ve probably have heard that consuming soy may be harmful to your hormones. Men worry that it may cause them to develop breasts, known as gynecomastia. Women are worried about increasing their breast cancer risk, even though research shows soy can be protective against breast cancer. A newly published peer-reviewed study will help eliminate your fears about interfering with your body’s natural hormones, so you can feel more confident about drinking soy milk after a workout.

The rumors about soy’s consequences have been circulating for decades. This comes in part from mice being injected with megadoses of soy isoflavones and growing tumors. However, the doses they were given were far greater than any human would consume. Additionally, the mice had their thymus glands removed, which normally plays a crucial role in immunity and fighting diseases. Similarly, there was a man who developed gynecomastia after consuming 3 quarts of soy milk daily— that’s 12 servings! Neither of these situations replicate a normal person consuming soy products, and therefore should not create fear for humans.

The buzzword when it comes to soy is isoflavones, which are phytoestrogens that can have estrogen-like effects in some tissues. However, there are biochemical differences between them and the estrogens naturally produced by humans. It is also important to note that negligible amounts of estrogens, progesterone, and testosterone have been detected in soy–less than both animal- and plant-based foods. In contrast, dairy products supply 60-80% of ingested female sex steroids due to dairy cows being pregnant during most of the time they are producing milk for consumers.

If people are concerned about their hormonal health, why aren’t they discussing dairy more?

Just like their delicious Air-Dried dog food, @ear

Just like their delicious Air-Dried dog food, @earthanimal1979 ‘s new Wisdom plant-based Air-Dried Jerky is veterinary-formulated using a balance of high-quality ingredients that are cooked low and slow to lock in moisture and the natural, savory flavor that dogs crave.

With 25% protein, it’s made with an exclusive blend of sustainably sourced pumpkin, potato protein, quinoa, kelp, and sunflower meal to deliver superior nutrition and taste.

We love that it’s made in the USA in small batches with real, traceable ingredients and no artificial preservatives, colors, or flavoring. It contains no vegetable glycerin, corn, wheat gluten, or soy with no added sugar or cane molasses.

This uniquely soft and chewy jerky is cut into strips that can be broken into high-value training treats. It’s great for picky dogs of all sizes and ages (our pups here at Switch4Good LOVE it!)

Is your diet keeping you sick? You have to listen

Is your diet keeping you sick? You have to listen to the newest episode of the Switch4Good podcast today featuring Dr. James Loomis, a whole-food, plant-based internal medical practitioner spreading the message that food is the best way to combat illness and disease!

After experiencing a decline in his own health, Dr. Loomis made the switch and saw miraculous results: a significant drop in weight, cholesterol, and blood pressure in under three months.

He says that most problems that walk into his office can be traced back to inflammation and stress, often resulting from the Standard American Diet.

The former internist for both the St. Louis Cardinals and Rams now serves as the Medical Director of the Barnard Medical Center and advocates for using food — over prescriptions — as medicine.

In this episode, Dr. Loomis joins Alexandra and Dotsie to explain exactly how what we eat works to either heal or harm our bodies. You’ll hear why whole foods are the best way to combat inflammation, why manipulation by the dairy industry is so dangerous, and how you can get empowered to critically evaluate medical research on your own.

This is a must-hear episode to understand why eating whole foods is as important as eating plant-based for your health.
