Does this mean that I shouldn't eat any soybeans? I actually like the taste of whole soybeans. I also drink a fair amount of lactose reduced skim milk.

Excellent commentary.
All men over 25 should take an anti-estrogen and or aromatase inhibitor. As you eluded to, there are nasty estrogens out there in everything. In fact, isoflavones in soy mimick estrogen...

I average about 2 glasses a day of skim milk and about an ounce or so of roasted soybeans. I admit my moods are not always what they should be, but I am not at all aware any estrogen fat deposits. (I don't even know what they look like.) I'm fairly lean, especially for my age, since I will be hitting 50 later this year. I'm still maintaining the six-pack, but it gets harder as I get older, and I imagine that I am nowhere near as chiseled as some of you diehards. I was my most lean in 1992-93 when I was in my mid-30s. A caliper fat test measured me at 7% at that time. (However, I've been told that the water test, whatever that is, is supposed to be more accurate.) At that time, I was spending about 8 or 9 hours a week at the gym, which is crazy. Presently, I'm probably between 10% and 12% (hopefully), but I'm just guessing. I did notice that the obliques are not cooperating quite like they used to, but I'm still leaner than anyone I personally know who's anywhere near my age. That will have to do.Quote from Bigpipn:
I wouldn't suggest eliminating them all-together, just don't make them a staple in your diet. A little estrogen is good. Be cognizant of your mood and any possible estrogen fat deposits.

I've been reading up on soy recently, and it seems to have benefits worth considering:Quote from Bigpipn:
