Estrogen: enemy of mankind?

This came from the gargantuan thread about expermenting with the transdermal application of andro gel to the penis for growth. As to not divert the already huge thread it was agreed that estrogen and it’s effects needed it’s own thread.

So where is this estrogen, what foods does it lurk in? What effect does it have on us? Can it hinder PE growth? Keep us fat?

I only have moderate knowledge about this but I´ll chime in anyway at first.

It´s not so much what food it lurks in but what stimulates the production of it. Soy products are known to do so, among others. I´m sure a few simple searches would provide a ton of info on this.

Estrogen can make you fat yes, think typcial female traits, just like T makes a woman look more like a man E makes a man take on woman traits. Bitch tits and all that.

It can also lower or kill your libido and from the top of my head I´d say that it probably can cause ED as well.

I´m talking too much E now, we all have some E, just like women have some T. It´s the old “too much of something” rule.

How about MILK! This is one of the constants in my life. I have always been a voracious milk drinker. I am 60 pounds overweight. I have been thinking how to eliminate it without losing the benefits; calcium and protein. Calcium citrate and whey are in mind.

I have always thought that the sugar and fat combo in milk put on the fat, but maybe estrogen plays in.

I don´t take a stand for or against milk but here´s an article you might find interesting ->

Its about cow milk causing an early puberty in girls.

Whoa! I am definitely rethinking my milk drinking! Esp. the part on prostate cancer! Both of my milkaholic brothers had it and had to get cut!

We are the only species that actively drinks the milk of another. The mother passes many things to it’s child through breast milk. What is Bossy passing on to us? |-{

Great articles!

Here´s another abstract for you concerning milk and prostate cancer.

WOW, great find Rocco. Is this also true for my fav. chocolate milk???????

Sorry poor attempt at humor.

Yeah, that´s why i recomend mixing some arimidex into your chocolate milk every morning ;)

(Just to be safe, I really don´t)

What about whey protein supplements?

I always thought whey was one of the better sources of protein available?

Estrogen: enemy of mankind?

No, estrogen is a beneficial component of our body. The trick is to keep in in check with testosterone levels.

Some myths about estrogen…

Estrogen promotes fat accumulation WRONG: Estrogen has been shown to be both anorectic and lipolytic, the latter via reduction of lipoprotein lipase levels

Estrogen is important for so many aspects of health, like preventing cardiovascular disease, maintaining bone density, cognitive funtion, just to name a few.

All of these topics can be referrenced at PubMed by searching for “estrogen, cardiovasular, etc…”

Sure is. Whey is the most bioavailble form of protein powders…good stuff.

You went and killed the whole thread man…….. I was having fun!

Anybody got any links to studies about “dick shrink”?? Or could it be that some asshole someplace is comparing a self reported study with a clinically measured study?? Probably another Urban Legend.

Check the very early posts in the Supplement Forum (especially posts by Merlin and Newbie) and you will find a lot of info on this type of stuff. Not new territory here.

LOL @ some asshole someplace

…good to see that others are getting impatient, too. I am so proud I stayed away from posting “someplace” recently!
