i received several Clif Builder bars for my birthday. main ingredient is soy protein. i read soy protein gives you aids or increases estrogen or something bad. am i doing myself more harm than good by eating one of these? i feel bad throwing them away, but i will if eating them is a net negative.

it depends on how the soy is processed as to how much phytoestrogens it contains. tbh it wont kill you.

Soy does increase estrogen, but supposedly, it takes large dosages to do so. I'd say you'd be fine if you ate them.

I eat cliff bars like a mother ****er and ignore that stuff.

Seriously, humans are omnivores. We can eat lots of stuff and be fine. Lift heavy weights to increase your testosterone.

a little soy protein isn't gonna do anything. it's people who eat a lot of it regularly like 11t who are more at risk of seeing side effects.
