How to Avoid Male Phytoestrogen
- 1). Refrain from eating soy products during pregnancy. Studies show that administration to pregnant lab rats of genistein, the EMC in soy, led to overall feminization of external male genitalia in offspring, delayed puberty, and change in courtship patterns.
- 2). Refrain from giving your baby soy infant formula. Switch from soy milk to breast milk or cow's milk.
- 3). Focus on cutting out miso, tofu and soy sauce, the main sources of soy, which in turn is a main source of EMCs. This applies even to females, who seem to experience puberty earlier because of EMCs.
- 4). Cut the following other high-concentration sources of phytoestrogens out of your diet if you are avoiding EMCs: soybeans, flaxseed, alfalfa, chickpeas, garbanzo beans and peanuts.
