I like your style.
yep, i reckon so. you were the guy who rode out with us monday morning and had a sweet ABC Weapons patch, right?
Don’t fuck with Dan the man will eat you alive with the knowledge that is stored in that head of his 
Riding fixed is not going to loosen up your achilles - quite the reverse in my experience. In order to keep riding fixed, I had to go on a 12-week program of exercises to loosen up and regain flexibility - and now do them every time I ride a fixed bike.
Just like any debate in science there are arguments for and against. Quoting journal articles can get you in trouble if you present a biased viewpoint. It’s not thorough. I’ll give you an example:
I said nothing about soy products having the highest phytoestrogen content.
However, you should read article 2 again, because even the abstract states that the soy protein isolate “significantly decreased” testosterone levels.
You imply that many falsely “jump to a conclusion that there is a correlation between soybean ingestion and lower testosterone” yet you then spout this as evidence that that soy product may protect against the development of prostate cancer.
Many epidemiological studies have been conducted to determine the relationship between phytoestrogen intake and the risk of various diseases, particularly breast and prostate cancer, with conflicting results [1-19]. However, most studies showed no relationship, even to lax confidence intervals.
Furthermore, diets high in soy isoflavines have been attributed with impaired male fertility [20, 21].
But I get my information on such matters from my girlfriend who has a masters in genetics, and is doing her Ph.D in this area at the Westmead Millennium Institute (Westmead Institute for Cancer Research). While the jury is out, I’m sticking to cows milk. If you’re wrong, and your balls fall off and you grow man boobies, give me a call; we could go out sometime.
Now, lets take a chill pill and learn to take life a little less seriously, and that when a “scientific” comment is made on a cycling forum stating the technical term “man boobies” it is probably made in jest, acknowledging that such claims cannot be taken seriously.

Woah, this thread smells of nerd.
…and estrogen/testosterone mixture…
Synthetic?
I hate Soy milk. . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . just sayin.
…and kinda like a lactose intolerant wet milky fart.
Ease up there bro, I was simply refuting your statement:
Hey guys, I hate to rain on your parade but soy milk is high in phyto-oestrogens, which not only accelerate the growth of cancerous tumours, but being similar to the fundamental female hormone, is also great for your man boobies and sperm count.
From your statement you advocated that:
- Soy milk accelerates the growth of cancerous tumors
- Has a `femaling’ effect on men by giving you man boobs and reducing your sperm count.
Which you yourself have subsequently backpedalled on as there is no solid evidence to make these claims. On that I think we are in agreement so I’m happy to drop it.
As for the comments being made in jest, similar bullshit propaganda flows out there about motorists subsidising cyclists use of the road. Do you think that the average punter thinks that this `information’ is made in jest? Or do they store that soundbite to roll out in an argument when you rock around on your treadly? Sorry but as a bris-vegan I’m sick of this kind of shit continuing to flow around out there which is why I jumped on it. I don’t mean to offend but the public has a pretty poor perception of vegans as a whole due to these myths floating around out there.[/rant]
Specifically it does depend on the type of tumour, as there are more than just breast and prostate cancers. But as we are aware, there are arguments for and against.
A bris-vegan from bris-vegas. That has a good ring to it. It seems there are some people that believe everything they read; and I admit that I do have a habit of making up shit for (usually my own) entertainment so I will take it easy on the sarcasm from here on out and make sure any jocular comments are made devoid of subtlety by using one of these: , 
, “haha”, “LOL”.
For example:
I wouldn’t jump to the conclusion that there is a causation between soy products and low testosterone however a logical hypothesis would then be that there is a correlation between vegan males and naturally low testosterone.
YAWN.
Does it disappoint anybody else that many so-called discussion forums just like this one have become a pissing contest for people posting stupid pictures they found on the internet?
Seriously, if all you have to contribute are links to bullshit pictures somewhere on the internet maybe you should get out more or something.
not me.
Or me. .
(trolling lolcatz for something suitable)
OK. Must be me then.
I’m sure you’ll find a suitable pic to reply with.
