WND: Put down the tofu, honey, it'll only make you gay.

I’m not sure if I should be furious or completely amused. I choose amurious.

A devil food is turning our kids into homosexuals

Soy is feminizing, and commonly leads to a decrease in the size of the penis, sexual confusion and homosexuality. That’s why most of the medical (not socio-spiritual) blame for today’s rise in homosexuality must fall upon the rise in soy formula and other soy products. (Most babies are bottle-fed during some part of their infancy, and one-fourth of them are getting soy milk!) Homosexuals often argue that their homosexuality is inborn because “I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t homosexual.” No, homosexuality is always deviant. But now many of them can truthfully say that they can’t remember a time when excess estrogen wasn’t influencing them.

I feel like saying things like “Well, how does that explain lesbians?” or “if a mom just had a little mock duck when pregnant with her son would that make him just bisexual?” but this whole thing seems to defy any scintilla of logic.

At last we have an explanation for the inexplicably low fertility rates of Asian nations.

ANOTHER Weapons of Nass Destruction thread???
C’mon stpauler, at least have the courtesy to run the title through a spelling checker before posting.

I used to read WND daily, but when they started on their kick of Harry Potter = Satanism I lost interest and respect.

Who is James Rutz, other than the Chairman of Megashift Ministries?

[silenus]

Soy is Evil, Sick and Nasty, it’s true. But I think this is stretching it a bit.

Jim Rutz

He’s got an autobiography there which, among other things, talks about his 12 years working for Amway. 'nuff said.

[Ponder_Stibbons]

I’ve eaten tofu for years and it hasn’t made me gay.
Ooooh, silenus, you’re lookin’ good.

[tomndebb]

Soy is feminizing…

Which probably be really scary to a guy who is always in Rutz.

[Antinor01]

I never eat tofu or soy based products and am totally gay. Though we did have that ice cream like substance that is actually tofu…tofutti or some such. I remember being gay before that so I don’t think there’s a connection there.

Of course I could just be in denial, what do us fags know anyway?

[Ol_Gaffer]

I guess they’ll have to change the name to Tofrutti.

[Autumn_Almanac]

I wonder who gathered the data for the soy diet/penis size study. Ted Haggard?

[ouryL]

Oh?

I thought I loved tofu because I was Japanese. :dubious:

Well played, Sir.

[elucidator]

I knew there was a good reason to hate tofu!

I have a serious question about one of the passages among the festering crap. In the column, he says:

There’s also a serious connection between soy and cancer in adults – especially breast cancer. That’s why the governments of Israel, the UK, France and New Zealand are already cracking down hard on soy.

Is there any scientific evidence of a link between soy and cancer, especially breast cancer? Also, has there been any form of a “crack-down” on soy in any of the countries listed?

There’s at least serious talk about a connection:
Soy Processing Influences Estrogen-dependent Breast Cancer Growth In Mice

2004
Highly purified soy foods and soy supplements marketed in the United States may stimulate the growth of pre-existing estrogen-dependent breast tumors, according to a study done at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
“Soy has been correlated with low rates of breast cancer in Asian populations, but soy foods in Asia are made from minimally processed soybeans or defatted, toasted soy flour, which is quite different from soy products consumed in the U.S.,” said William G. Helferich, a professor of food science and human nutrition, in a study presented online May 6 in advance of regular publication by the journal Carcinogenesis.

I’ve not followed this story, so have no idea where things stand today.

[kung_fu_lola]

Dr. Samuel Epstein is working on the connection between phyto-and pseudo-estrogens (such as those found in soy) in the environment, and skyrocketing cancer rates.

He was keynote speaker at a conference my mom organized on environmental factors in breast cancer.

This news story seems to be one of those tabloid-style; “take a grain of truth and spin it into a hysterical tale of calamity” stories.

[kung_fu_lola]

Whoops, So who is this Dr. Sam Epstein guy, anyway?

Soy-eaters are liberals. Liberals get abortions. Abortions cause breast cancer. Q.E.D.
