Thomas DeLauer is Wrong About Soy

Thomas Delauer recently made a video going over reasons for why he believes everyone should avoid eating soy stating hormonal disruption and digestive disturbances as some of the main reasons. As is typical with Thomas he cherry picked and misrepresented research encouraging his audience to avoid eating a healthy and nutritious food.

A more accurate title: "Thomas DeLauer Is Wrong About Everything"

[earlminnie]

After getting into numerous arguments about soy, my thoughts are the opposition to soy is ideological rather than a scientific opposition. Soy seems to be an ideological threat to their masculinity to the point they completely ignore the science.

[slimshadys]

The other week i heard something and typed in ''soy raises estrogen in men over 40'' on google scholar and went through at least 20 studies down the list trying to find negative results and every single one showed lowering of estrogen, raise in testosterone and an anti cancer effect against breast and prostate cancers.

"Who is consuming an abudance of soy? Usually, vegans that aren't educated on what they're consuming" the nerve of this man!

[Carl-jgfo]

It's hilarious when people cherry pick studies and they turn out to be the exact opposite of the result that they want.

If he thinks he has 100% of the facts behind him I find no reason why he would be too scared to debate you. Otherwise he's just a bold faced liar if he chooses to keep the video up and not correct it.

The end of Keto Youtube is drawing near. Keep fighting the good fight man, this was a crazy good debunk

[alexshaykevich]

Opening lines should have been, "Why Thomas Delauer is wrong about EVERYTHING". Guy is definition of bro scientist.

[unicornguy]

Thomas DeLaur is still stuck in 2010 youtube. When Broscientists were mainstream.

[eyen]

First red flag for bro science is “I’m all about positivity on this channel....” Without a critical and discerning eye these people could claim whatever they want. These frauds do not deserve the attention they get. Telling people that butter is a health food while soy will give you breast cancer is disgusting.

How is the demonization of soy still a thing? So dumb.

[nootnut]

Everytime someone says soy increases hormones, I remember that eating chicken breasts can cause "man boobs" and no one is saying stop eating chicken because you'll turn female, because its a miniscule effect for the chicken and it wouldn't be noticeable for soy either if it was real.

[ashleyjohansson]

"But I eat the organic meat from the grocery instead of the factory farm stuff that causes hormone imbalance!"
*Doesn't realize literally everything at the grocery store is factory farmed*

[sphakamisozondi]

This dude lost his credibility back when he said, eating fruits will make u fat. And 1 shld stop eating them.

[cynicalidealist]

Why are flesh eaters so triggered by soy?

[AlWwW]

It always baffles me how all these health and fitness gurus demonize a small bean for some supposed (proven to be false) estrogenic effects, yet they recommend supplements that come from pregnant cows like whey protein which also have massive amount of heavy metals in them

[isaweesaw]

He dislikes soya for lowering T levels, but supports eating contains mammalian oestrogen.
