It's not. Plant estrogens have a similar structure to human estrogen, but do not work the same in the human body. You can tell this is true because otherwise trans women would be downing soy milk like there was no tomorrow.

You know what is pack full of estrogen-estrogen? Cow milk and other dairy produt.

This is the classic counter-argument to so many superstitions and conspiracy theories. Storms are punishment from God for your homosexuality? Oh great, let's organise a big gay orgy everywhere there's a drought! Crystals can heal you and ghosts can tell you secrets from beyond the grave? Brilliant, every military and intelligence agency is going to invest heavily changing warfare and espionage immediately!

Isn't estradiol made from yams? Like you can't just eat plants for their hormones even if you physically could eat enough the hormones still need processed to be noticably effective on humans, but plants are still a viable source

It's not extracted as-is from yams. Yams have diosgenin - which needs to be extracted, cleaned and then put through a few chemical processes to be useful.

Plants are viable sources of precursors not of the end result, and many of these precursors aren't useful in biological processes.

Scientific studies have not shown Men to have substantial estrogen level changes from drinking soy.

That's why I mentioned it needs processed. Didn't know the word precursors but yeah we're talking the same thing

So is testosterone, in terms of its chemical precursor.
