We were catching up on our favorite mafioso show late last night, The Sopranos, when we got the sudden craving for a milkshake. We had company over, so we offered to make one for them as well. We had all the right elements: bananas, berries, cinnamon, vanilla extract, chocolate powder, a high powered blender, and soymilk. Bzzzzzzzzzz!!! Perfecto! Just the right consistency, smooth texture, and taste. Served it in a cold glass and brought it over to the living room.
Everyone loved it except Gawker’s Nick Denton, who said it was the soymilk that made it taste so horrible and that it gives men tits since it contains high levels of estrogen. We were surprised. We love soymilk and all soy-derivatives and wondered if we would soon be in need of a bra. And Brazil is the number one exporter of soy, and the Brazilians we know don’t have bitch tits, especially since they are ‘all’ so hot. So, while skeptical, we decided to do a little research.

When you consider that millions of men in China, Japan and other Asian countries have had soy foods in their daily diets from earliest childhood, you can appreciate that the plant estrogens they contain have no discernible effect on male sexual development, and no feminizing effects at all.

Phew! And we thought a visit to Victoria Secret was in our near future.
