    Is it bad that all Whey Protein has Soy in it?

    I've been paying a lot more attention to labels lately and noticed that all the Protein sources I've been using have Soy in them. I typically use Dymatize Protein and it says it contains Milk and Soy in it. Doesn't Soy increase E2 levels?

    The claim that soy elevates E2 in men is debatable, however until something conclusive is found one way or the other, I choose to err on the side of caution and keep soy intake minimal. Having said that, I don't think small amounts of soy in protein powder will make any appreciable (negative) impact.

    If you're concerned, why not just switch out brands?
