**mdesignone** · 07-07-2006, 08:49 PM

Hi, each morning i mix 2 scoops of soy protein with water to have with my traditional oats. Is this ok??

Thanks

No. Use whey protein.

What are your stats, goals?

thanks guys for the help. I've heard mixed shit about about soy.

Its just i really need something to mix with my oats in the morning and this is the only substitue i could find as i am lactose.

Swole when u mention egg whites i take it you were talking about the pasturized stuff or the egg white powder?

Ya you can buy the pastuerized egg whites, the come in a carton all ready to go. just pour in a pan a cook. Definitely beats out a morning shake.

ok now i think i messed this up a little.

I have normal egg whites in the morning, cook them up and down they go.

I also have oats. Im trying to find out what is best to have with the oats instead of the soy protein mixed. Any suggestions??

Thanks again!

no its totally a myth, because the molecule itself looks much like estrogen but its not, i dont have them but there have been studies to show that soy does not effect test levels nor estrogen levels along with whey protein...soy is fine, its not my #1 choice but its fine

I use plenty of soy protein. Its cheap. But I sure hate the taste of it.

Soy has very very small effects on hormone levels. Nothing to worry about realy.

But it also has many good properties like protection against prostate cancer and the phytoestrogens are benifical in lowering bad cholesterol.
