I dont think Peat is right about beans. Beans feel like they raise testosterone and make me stronger. Also I’m bordering on hyperthyroid and beans don’t change that.
phytoestrogens block the human estrogen from binding. Milk contains actual estrogen with no plant chemicals to protect us/stop the binding…
I don’t understand what Dr Peat had against beans…
Beans are the opposite of estrogenic. Phytoestrogen isn’t always bad. Can be because some are strong like the ones in beer and soy but regular types of beans not so much. Yes also goitrogens but those block iodine uptake, if you have been drinking lots of milk growing up like me you will be borderline hyperthyroid and thats a good thing to balance yourself out. The japanese eat miso soup (goitrogen, soy, cabbages) with seaweed for iodine and are fine.
