The anti-soy stuff is ridiculous. The phytoestrogens in soy are minimal and nowhere near as strong as real estrogen. Hops in beer has more, and milk has a lot of real estrogen, but no one seems bothered by those. I'm convinced it's all meat industry propaganda. I'm a male and have been eating a lot of soy and a recent blood test has shown optimal testosterone and estrogen levels.

There is a bit of science behind the seed-oil stuff, specifically poly-unsaturated fatty acids, but the paleo community has grossly exaggerated the issue. I've had people tell me that eating any seed or nut is crazy, and I can't take them seriously.

Milk is for babies.

And then there's a whole lot of people whose genes give them lactose tolerance into adulthood because the milk of grazers was an important source of nutrition for their ancestors.

But wait, why is this even here? Because someone forgot which post they were replying to!?

It's a small minority when considering the entire population of earth. And even then, it doesn't counter the hormones and other components that cause cardiovascular disease, as well as the brutality of dairy farming. I'm sure dog meat is perfectly fine to eat for most humans.
