"Exploring the Connection Between Soya Chuck Intake and Gynaecomastia"


Soya chunks are a favorite food for many bodybuilders and athletes due to their high protein content, which ranges from 50 to 52 grams per 100 grams. However, there is controversy surrounding their consumption, as some believe that eating soya can lead to gynecomastia, which is the abnormal enlargement of breast tissue in males. While this claim is debated, it's essential to examine the evidence and understand the potential effects of soya on hormonal balance.

Soya chucks and all soy products contain a component called isoflavones, which are phytoestrogens (plant-based estrogens). Both males and females have estrogen receptors in their bodies, and isoflavones can mimic estrogen and can bind to these receptors, although their binding is weak compared to actual estrogen.

As for whether soy consumption can cause gynecomastia, the consensus is that it is unlikely, but not entirely impossible. 

Research involving mice, which have similar metabolic processes and physiological functions to humans, has shown that isoflavones do not lead to significant effects unless consumed in large amounts. This study suggest that approximately 18 to 20 mg of isoflavones per kilogram of body weight would need to be ingested to observe any notable impact. 

calculation


100 gms of Soya chucks = 50 to 55 gms of protein 

1 gram of protein contain 2.5 to 3 mgs of isoflavones 

Which means roughly 120 to 160 isoflavones per  100gram which we consume per day 

Which is only 1.7 to 2.3mgs per kilo  body weight for an average 70kg man consuming per day

Gynecomastia is typically caused only when isoflavone intake exceeds 18 to 20 mg per kg of body weight. This means that consuming a large amount of soy products, like a kilo or more, would be necessary to potentially cause this condition. Who would eat that much soy chunk per day? !!🤔

Health benefits 

In additional isoflavones have many health benefits like 

  1. Anticancerous activity

  3. Increasing bone density



    3.And also prevents Cardiovascular diseases

World wide

Now seeing around the world many parts of the world Soya and its products forms a major part of diet their diet such as the Japanese
  • Edamame 
  • Kinako 
  • Tofu 
And soy milk which is also used world wide 

At last 
"Too much of anything is good for nothing"

Eating too much per day can cause changes in breast when maintained in limits does not causes harm. 

Hope this would be helpful 👋

how a pilot of a fighter plane breath inside his cockpit ??

 Have you ever wondered how a pilot of a fighter plane breath inside his cockpit ?? A fighter plane's cockpit is a closed, pressurized, and air-locked structure that requires external oxygen delivery systems to maintain ventilation and ensure a continuous oxygen supply for the pilot. These systems are integrated to provide effective ventilation and oxygenation. Here are some of the key oxygen delivery systems used in fighter planes: Onboard Oxygen Generation System (OBOGS): The Onboard Oxygen Generation System (OBOGS) extracts oxygen from the engine bleed air using molecular sieves. These sieves separate nitrogen and other gases from the air, providing a continuous supply of oxygen to the pilot. As long as the engine is running, OBOGS offers an unlimited oxygen supply. Liquid Oxygen (LOX) Systems        Liquid  oxygen being fed into the oxygen cylinders in the cockpit of an  US airforce  A10 thunderbolt          In Liquid ...
