I can’t do better than their own headline, which had to have been written by a skeptic.
Good lord:
If you’re a grownup, you’re already developed, and you’re able to fight off some of the damaging effects of soy. Babies aren’t so fortunate. Research is now showing that when you feed your baby soy formula, you’re giving him or her the equivalent of five birth control pills a day. A baby’s endocrine system just can’t cope with that kind of massive assault, so some damage is inevitable. At the extreme, the damage can be fatal.
Soy is feminizing, and commonly leads to a decrease in the size of the penis, sexual confusion and homosexuality. That’s why most of the medical (not socio-spiritual) blame for today’s rise in homosexuality must fall upon the rise in soy formula and other soy products. (Most babies are bottle-fed during some part of their infancy, and one-fourth of them are getting soy milk!)
I know at least a few of our readers are going to claim this is true, so go ahead. Log into that comment section and just let ‘er rip.
Exit question: in which ways, if any, is soy being manipulated to facilitate the North American Union? Check out the export list. We’re softening them up across the border before the merger!

Oh good lord. Soy is a devils food now. Of course, maybe I can tell my g/f I had too much soy as an excuse for, oh, never mind. :-)
dalewalt on December 12, 2006 at 4:10 PM
Have to admit that I always snicker when someone reaches across me for a carton of soy milk.
Though knowing a few folks with serious lactose intolerance, I can understand why they chose soy over moo-cow ; )
The Ugly American on December 12, 2006 at 4:10 PM
This is anecdotal evidence, not scientific, but I do have a friend that went vegetarian with his girlfriend. Now, he eats a lot of soy meat and other soy products. In the past few years since he went veggie, he’s become quite effiminate and does whatever his girl says (he even lets her dress him).
Seems pretty convincing to me!
Or maybe he just doesn’t want the loving to be cut off. Whatever, I still blame the soy.

JadeNYU on December 12, 2006 at 4:12 PM
We keep soy away from our boy. Too many estrogen-like properties.
Would be interesting to study the incidence of homosexuality in cultures where soy figures prominently in the diet…..
jdpaz on December 12, 2006 at 4:12 PM
Normally this type of story would be the harbinger of many lawsuits but given the supposed symptoms I doubt many men will want to claim the suffering caused by soy! LOL
Bradky on December 12, 2006 at 4:14 PM
Here’s a question - if you put soy sauce on a stir fry with tofu, does the soy sauce counteract the gay?
Slublog on December 12, 2006 at 4:14 PM
So should women drink soy milk? Does cow’s milk make them more masculine and cause an uptick in lesbians?
He seems to ignore the fact that a good portion of the babies born in America are girls, so feminizing is not a bad thing and they don’t have to worry about the size issue.
Is this what WND has become?
wardrobedoor on December 12, 2006 at 4:15 PM
Soy is a staple food in Japan and China.
I eat Tofu sometimes, but I still loves the womens. (unless they have an adams apple…)
Wyrd on December 12, 2006 at 4:16 PM
So soy is a plot by the geneticaly disadvantaged to strike back at the genetically superior.
Its a good thing this report comes out now. Maybe Bloomberg will ban soy along with transfats. Let’s hear it for moo-juice and beef tallow!
Iblis on December 12, 2006 at 4:16 PM
Perhaps a good marketing strategy aimed at women would be something like “Soy its what makes them want to go shoe shopping with you”
Bradky on December 12, 2006 at 4:18 PM
Case closed…lmgao.
SouthernGent on December 12, 2006 at 4:19 PM
Funny regarding the phrase “Teh Ghey”…
This is a modern day internet mockup overly used by teenagers, and some nerds. It implies a slight tongue in cheek remark relating to a persons own sexuality whilst at the same time mis-spelling the word ”the” and changing it to ”teh”.
When first looked upon, it may look as though a person is stating about themselves that they are:
1. Gay
2. Sexy
When infact they are just showing their ability to laugh at themselves and act in a ”homo-erotic” manner of somesort. It is widely used across message boards and whatnot.
journeyscarab on December 12, 2006 at 4:19 PM
You remember the fauxtography tire fire? That’s what this smells like to me… rubbish, burning rubbish.
It fails to explain gay women, it fails to explain gay animals, or the long history of homosexuality.
We’re the Greeks eating alot of soy? I think not!
E L Frederick (Sniper One) on December 12, 2006 at 4:20 PM
Since no one’s living up to Allah’s anti-readership prejudices by buying this, I’m just going to say it: I think all milk is gay. But also gay is any kind of food that doesn’t take advantage of an animal, so soy milk is super gay. Also, choosing what you consume based on how it will affect your body rather than entirely on how much it gratifies you in the immediate short run is ultra gay.
Alex K on December 12, 2006 at 4:21 PM
Southerngent,
Whats funny was I was about to type up something about the average male archetype…then started thinking about it… Not a good example…
On a grosser side, gay men generaly… imbibe… more testosterone then straight men…
shouldn’t they become “ungay” over time?
(sorry, I couldn’t resist)
Wyrd on December 12, 2006 at 4:23 PM
All Space Shuttle Challenger and Columbia astronauts drank Tang. Tang must cause people to explode in space. It’s science.
stonemeister on December 12, 2006 at 4:23 PM
what the hell is “menarche.” Can’t trust anyone who uses that word.
mattshu on December 12, 2006 at 4:24 PM
“Normally this type of story would be the harbinger of many lawsuits but given the supposed symptoms I doubt many men will want to claim the suffering caused by soy! LOL”
Is that the real reason or, could it be they won’t have the “Balls” to sue.
Helloyawl on December 12, 2006 at 4:24 PM
I love Lewis Black’ take on it
It is Soy Juice,not milk,where is there a soy nipple on this planet ?
Just saying it makes me gag a little.
bbz123 on December 12, 2006 at 4:25 PM
Soybeans?
No, gumballs!
Pablo on December 12, 2006 at 4:26 PM
So where does edamame fall on the scale?

The mystery of Phil Donahue is finally solved.
KelliD on December 12, 2006 at 4:35 PM
So if we hold Rosie down and force feed these to her, will she get all normal or will she still dig chicks?
Fair question. They are the smarty party interested in all things scientific.
My kid has a science fair coming up…I got some edamame in the freezer…I smell BLUE RIBBON….
seejanemom on December 12, 2006 at 4:35 PM
Now I know why I had a hankering for show tunes and Will and Grace re-runs after a six pack of soy milk !

JammieWearingFool on December 12, 2006 at 4:46 PM
Do you drink soy milk AP? Because if you do, then I may have to be one of those readers you’re talking about, because I can’t help but notice how you’ve gravitated away from a fixation on KP to a fixation on Ace. Maybe you just “can’t quit him”, but perhaps this study has revealed soy milk to be the culprit.
TUA, why do people have to reach past you for a carton of soy milk? Are you hording it all? Do you live in that aisle at the grocery store?
RightWinged on December 12, 2006 at 4:46 PM
Do they say anything about foix gras and black rimmed “smart glasses”?
BillLalor on December 12, 2006 at 4:46 PM
A witch hunt against soy… This is beyond pathetic. More ammunition for the libs to ‘prove’ that the ‘religious right’ are a bunch of kooks.

What great news! This could be the end of unwanted preganacy and abortion. Condom break? Forget your pill? No big deal, just head down to the supermarket for a post-coitus hunk of tofu and a gallon of soy milk and you’re good to go…
JaHerer22 on December 12, 2006 at 4:59 PM
Ah ha! You see?–Moby proves it!
“”We’re convinced that if we have children, we’re going to do everything in our power to make them gay. Like maybe drinking a lot of extra soy milk while she’s pregnant, or anything that would work to make that happen.”
And Moby would know.
Alex K on December 12, 2006 at 5:01 PM
This is absolute BS. Soy is great protein for building huge muscle mass. My 16″ guns are living proof.
And my wife loves that we can take turns nursing the baby at night.

Bad news for people with rat testicles. NTTAWWT.
John from WuzzaDem on December 12, 2006 at 5:04 PM
I used to be a man’s man. Strong, virile, siring children from here to the Chliean coastline with any woman that caught my fancy.
Then I tried soy milk.
Now, my boyfriend Hank and I carpool to our jobs as costume designers for La Cage Aux Folles.
Dash on December 12, 2006 at 5:11 PM
what do you have to do to get a trophy ?
mattshu on December 12, 2006 at 5:14 PM
No matter what, soy does contain a compound essentially the same as estrogen. Whether or not large amounts early on can make any difference to a newborn I don’t know.
Technically speaking a genetically male fetus only gets to be “male” thanks to a push of testosterone, otherwise it would be born with female-like genitals, while being genetically male. My wife just had twins, one boy and girl (fraternal, obviously) so I have some background in in this stuff.
So, instead of being snarky and jumping to conclusions, on both sides, actual verifiable information can be presented on both sides thereby opening a debate on the potential damage of soy/estrogen on newborns. But then that doesn’t generate hits, does it?

Relax everyone. The effects are fully neutralized by beef jerky, hops and exhaust fumes.

DEVIL FOOD!
I like Devil Food Cake, and it has not feminized me much.
Well, I am a blogger, I guess, so that’s kind of sissy.
see-dubya on December 12, 2006 at 5:17 PM
This sounds like a good foreign aide program. I move we allocate $20 billion to buy and ship soy products to Iran/Syria/Palestine/Talibanistan/Sudan/Indonesia/etc.

“Soy”lent green is made of gay people?

Cool. That means we have nothing to fear from Red China.
hotdax on December 12, 2006 at 5:22 PM
I say we chip in and buy Keith Olbermann a years supply of the strongest and finest soy milk money can buy.
darwin on December 12, 2006 at 5:22 PM
heh
1) it takes a lot to get soybeans to be a) edible and then b) palatable
2) are lactose intolerant babies intolerant to their mother’s milk or to just cow milk? guess …
3) American prepared foods are loaded with soy products these days. Finding them in things that never had them before. (sugar too, but that’s another topic) Very unnatural. Yeech.
naliaka on December 12, 2006 at 5:23 PM
Jeeze I thought it was the fact that my mother dressed me like a girl until I was 9 that siss-a-fied me….
liberrocky on December 12, 2006 at 5:27 PM
Well, my boy is safe because he didn’t have a drop of formula of any kind at all, ever.
I guess that explains a lot, actually…
(menarche is the beginning of menstruation, for whoever asked above)
Bob's Kid on December 12, 2006 at 5:28 PM
So does too much edamame turn you into Dame Edna?
liberrocky on December 12, 2006 at 5:29 PM
Turns you gay, huh? Yeah right. Tell that to the soybean farmers of America and see how far you get.
CP on December 12, 2006 at 5:30 PM
According to this soy formula does not shrink mr winkie (at least if you are a marmoset) but it does give you bigger, um, things that Fox would bleep
liberrocky on December 12, 2006 at 5:38 PM
Same is true for peter cotton tail
Oh and for the record soy milk is a sin against nature.
liberrocky on December 12, 2006 at 5:41 PM
Hold the phone!
Maybe soy isn’t all bad apparently soy can make a woman do things that would get bleeped on fox 15 times a day!
That soy milk is a miracle worker!
liberrocky on December 12, 2006 at 5:46 PM
Too bad it is so vile…

Bob's Kid on December 12, 2006 at 5:49 PM
It’s all a commie plot, I tell you! Thinks ain’t been the same since they started putting that flourine stuff in the water!
bdfaith on December 12, 2006 at 5:51 PM
Well, I gave up gluten (doctor’s orders) about 6-months ago & soy about 2-weeks ago. My mood sure has been better. Effing estrogen.
Editor on December 12, 2006 at 5:56 PM
Too late.
Phil Smith on December 12, 2006 at 5:59 PM
Soy milk is usually consumed by the likes of John Kerry and Barney Frank. They both wear lipstick and at least one of them puts that lipstick on a dipstick. They tend to wear Birkenstocks and wear Che’ t-shirts and hang out at Starbucks. These feminine traits are obvious on most soy consumers. Lisps are also common.
roninacreage on December 12, 2006 at 6:11 PM
I thought that happened from shaking hands with a Jew.
Attila (Pillage Idiot) on December 12, 2006 at 6:15 PM
That’s the commencement of a female’s childbearing life. The opposite end is menopause.
Cow’s milk has more biological negatives than soy milk, but our family uses neither, in favor of rice milk. But I am sure that my son had a fair share of soy formula as a baby. He’s almost 15, and you can just trust me there’s no sign of feminization.
Processed soy protein, at least from one source, has the phytoestrogen content carefully controlled.
Freelancer on December 12, 2006 at 6:34 PM
i just had an episode of deja voux. nothing earth-shattering, but i feel i can say with 80% probability that there will be a minor “war against science” dustup over this article next week, because malkin is talking about it on o’reilly in the premonition.
because it’s based on an article in wnd, and conservatives tend to have no problem going on record with the aknowlegement that wnd is generally unreliable in its original reporting, wnd will never be mentioned in the flap. rather the belief that soy milk is a “devil” liquid which induces homosexuality will be attributed to the generic “conservatives”.
jummy on December 12, 2006 at 6:50 PM
John Kerry drinks soy milk.
Zorro on December 12, 2006 at 6:53 PM
Maybe they misread the data. It would make more sense if it said “If you give your child soy milk, you are they type of parent who is likely to make your child gay.”
Kevin M on December 12, 2006 at 7:12 PM
Soybeans….they’re not just for diesel fuel anymore!
serenity on December 12, 2006 at 7:18 PM
Little Miss Muffet
sat on a tuffet
eating her curds and whey.
When along came a vegan
who said “What you’re eatin’s
still evil, but won’t make you gay.
Not that there’s anything wrong with being gay,
of course, because we all know that homophobia
is part of the patriarchial, carnivorous, racist,
military-industrial complex that suppresses
the nurturing Earth-Mother within us all. Therefore,
you are not only exploiting cows, but also
Indigenous Peoples and other Womyn.”
The Monster on December 12, 2006 at 7:18 PM
Mexico and Canada drink our soy milk! The North American Union is going to be totally gay!
Seriously, though, only gay people drink soy milk, but don’t mix up cause and effect.
frankj on December 12, 2006 at 7:25 PM
Wow, a lot of bathroom humor around here…
Back to the actual subject matter — I’ve read quite a lot about the dangers of over-consumption of soy. James Rutz’ article is nothing new. I was convinced after reading The Maker’s Diet by Jordan Rubin, and in fact it sounds like perhaps Rutz is on a similar diet. Cool.
I personally only use soy sauce and tempeh because both are fermented, which removes many of the negative properties of soy. Tofu isn’t all that good for you, and soy milk is baaaaddddd. All those soy-based meat-replacement products are highly suspect as well.
Jared
Jared White on December 12, 2006 at 8:02 PM
:D The United States has already been shipping massive quantities of soy products overseas for years, for food aid programmes.
Sudanese Dinkas prefer raw cow’s blood mixed with raw cow’s milk as their power beverage. Maybe that’s why they were able to beat back the northern Sudanese. Also, think the average height of the average male Dinka is over 6 feet tall versus the US average of about 5′9 - 5′10 ? If the NBA ever took the time to take a tour thru Dinka territory, recruiting …
naliaka on December 12, 2006 at 8:09 PM
Soy is bad for you?
Oh, no!
It could reduce the size of your penis?
Oh, no!
What if a person does not have a penis? Can it reduce the size of the penis in them also?
Anyway, I used to have an enormous penis, then I drank and ate soy. Now I have a tiny, little penis.
I cannot even get a date.
Woe is me!
Darn that soy?
I even had an IQ of 197 at one time, but after eating and drinking soy, my IQ dropped down to 48, well below average.
It is all I can do to generate the brain power required to type this message!
My wife was horrified at my small penis and left me quicker than you could say “Jihad!”
Woe is me!
Won’t anyone pity those of us whose lives have been ruined by soy?
Frankly, I do eat soy and drink soy products. I have observed on problem with it, nor have I observed the numerous men and women I know who eat soy products have any problems. That includes Japanese, Chinese, and others whose ethnic cuisine includes soy via Tofu, etc.
Go figure.
William
William2006 on December 12, 2006 at 8:34 PM
So, like, you are implying that they have really, really tiny wali-walis, right? Shades of Rosie O’Doughnut, haven’t you people witnessed enough “Asian bashing” in the past few days? Or do we have to “belittle” their genitalia as well?

The funny thing about this whole debate (about soy milk making younger guys trend towards ‘limp wristedness’) is that the first time I read about it 16-17 years ago:
In a little ‘new agey’ magazine that was owned, operated, published and mostly written by two gay guys.. and one of their major advertisers was a soy milk manufacturer/ distributor.
I knew the guys that operated the magazine. They were actually pretty cool, rational and non-PC for guys who made their entire living and lifestyle off being ‘gay, new-agey, hippie types.’
So anyway, this is no new thing dreamed up by “Karl Rove and the right wing Christian Radicals”..
LegendHasIt on December 12, 2006 at 9:01 PM
…commonly leads to a decrease in the size of the penis…
I dunno. I drank MulSoy ( I think that’s what it was called; some Borden product) as a kid and lots of people think I’m a big dick.
Mr. Bingley on December 12, 2006 at 9:12 PM
I drink tons of soy-milk.
My girlfriend says it’s why I have boobs,
but I had them even when I was skinny and didn’t drink soy.
She calls them my soy-boobies.
She thinks that’s funny.
Tzetzes on December 12, 2006 at 10:17 PM
And I always joked that soy milk was ‘gay’…
RustMouse on December 12, 2006 at 10:25 PM
Do they drink soy milk in India, where their thingies supposedly run small?
Attila (Pillage Idiot) on December 12, 2006 at 10:28 PM

lieberrocky -
Yes, 15 times a day, after this:
What happens in someone’s life to make them begin consuming in excess of 4 pounds of soy in a day?
nailinmyeye on December 12, 2006 at 10:52 PM
hey don’t forget the koreans! they also enjoy the gay bean! and the canadians brought soy ice cream and soya meat to south asia! my goodness so if india, china, korea, and japan are already gay (after generations eating the stuff) that’s more than half of the planet! and now the third most populated nation is having shrinking penile problems too? oh dear oh dear. i guess every good masculine guy will have to emigrate to the dark continent eh? the land of aids! whoopee!! no wait — there’s south america! the dominion of hugo chavez!! si!! vayamos!!
cranura on December 13, 2006 at 12:00 AM
I just used soy milk tonight to make my Hamburger Helper. I started buying the soy milk because I only use about half a gallon of “milk” every 3-6 months, and the soy stuff doesn’t go bad. The partial carton I emptied tonight said “Use by August” or something…maybe June.
I think the above paragraph makes me pretty freakin’ far from being gay. A disgusting bachelor, sure, but definitely not gay.
JollyRoger on December 13, 2006 at 12:11 AM
What research is being referred to support this postion on soy products?
This assertion about soy products seems absurd and the stuff just made for comic relief - but it would be intersting to see where these ideas came from and what specific research is behind it.

Black Adam on December 13, 2006 at 6:22 AM
Why is everyone dissing this article just like that?
Just google for soy AND estrogen and gaze at the long list of scientific articles discussing various opinions on the matter as well as the practical use of soy for medical applications where estrogen is relevant.
Shy Guy on December 13, 2006 at 7:51 AM
This is great Conservative Tin Hat humor!
I know a few vegetarians, and they never look healthy. They look frail, have large dark circles under their eyes, and the men look anorexic. I had a friend who went vegetarian, and after a year of complaining about no energy, started to eat fish. She’s felt better ever since.
You can’t beat our biology. We have all the biological characteristics of carnivores. So, vegetarianism, veganism, is actually unnatural…kind of like the way the War on Drugs demonizes a plant that grows naturally on the Earth. To me, it seems a bit unnatural to outlaw the natural.
budorob on December 13, 2006 at 10:23 AM
So we’re now politicizing legumes. Where would you put peas or lentils? Inquiring minds want to know…..

You’d have to be a three time F student in Bio 101 not to understand that giving regular doses of estrogen to an infant can’t be good.
Timber Wolf on December 13, 2006 at 11:15 AM
True story: I have a client who had heart surgery, valve replacement if memory serves, several years ago. He was a vegetarian. His doctor told him that in order to heal quickly, he needed to start eating meat.
Oh irony.

Smart bats have smaller testicles
CyberCipher on December 13, 2006 at 12:57 PM
Hmmm..
My daughter is Lactose intolerant, so we have been giving her soy-milk with her cereal in the morning rather than regular milk…
Should I be starting a “grandkids fund” already?
Not that expect her to get pregnant by drinking soy milk, (duh) but if all this estrogen is turning little boys effeminate, what the heck is it doing to our daughters?
This might at least partly explain the phenomena we are seeing of girls hitting puberty earlier and earlier. Massive doses of estrogen early on in life for girls has GOT to have an effect on them if it affects the boys as much as it does.
The father in me is very worried for my daughter.
I won’t comment on what the “dirty old man” side of my brain is thinking right now… *bad brain!* *SLAP!*
wearyman on December 13, 2006 at 2:07 PM
Budorob, I’m a strict vegetarian with rather vegan tendencies. (Yes, a vegan neocon.) It is extremely healthy, for both body & spirit. (The yogis were on to something.)
