Abstract​

Estrogen produced by aromatization of gonadal androgen has an important facilitative role in male-typical aggressive behavior that is mediated through its interaction with estrogen receptors (ER) in the brain. Isoflavones found in soybeans and soy-based dietary supplements bind ER and have dose- and tissue-dependent effects on estrogen-mediated responses. Yet, effects of isoflavone-rich diets on social and aggressive behavior have not been studied. We studied the effects of long-term (15 months) consumption of diets rich in soy isoflavones on spontaneous social behavior among adult male cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis) (n = 44) living in nine stable social groups. There were three experimental conditions which differed only by the source of dietary protein: casein and lactalbumin (no isoflavones), soy protein isolate containing 0.94 mg isoflavones/g protein, and soy protein isolate containing 1.88 mg isoflavones/g protein. In the monkeys fed the higher amount of isoflavones, frequencies of intense aggressive (67% higher) and submissive (203% higher) behavior were elevated relative to monkeys fed the control diet (P's < 0.05). In addition, the proportion of time spent by these monkeys in physical contact with other monkeys was reduced by 68%, time spent in proximity to other monkeys was reduced 50%, and time spent alone was increased 30% (P's < 0.02). There were no effects of treatment on serum testosterone or estradiol concentrations or the response of plasma testosterone to exogenous gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). The results indicate that long-term consumption of a diet rich in soy isoflavones can have marked influences on patterns of aggressive and social behavior.

No fucking way you guise! Turns out soy makes you a violent incel! I can't imagine why there's been such a surge in violent incels and trannies, it's probably just all the angy words on the scary Internet!

This is a scientific study from 2004 but it's been seeing a bit of news coverage lately. I've included some other links to start going down the soy rabbit hole. I know this isn't news to a lot of people but after doing some deeper diving this shit is horrifyingly fascinating.

@Otterly love to hear your thoughts and any other science dorks out there.

Well that explains a lot about China.

I'd be pissed too if scientists locked me up and force fed me soy crap for over a year.

 

[Narcotics]

I remember very well how when i was shopping with some visits, my aunt told my cousin to buy soymilk because she had read somewhere that "soy is good for women because it has estrogen and helps with your lack of hormones when you get older".
Coincidentally, she's also the most easily irritable and generally unpleasant person that i know.

 

[batterybee]

soy rage is real lol

 

[GenericEdgelordSupreme]

So... you're saying soy will make macaques soft, then it'll make macaques shrivel up and hide?

When the meme becomes science.

Is there a dietary opposite to soy?

Yes.

Not soy.

I'm going to sit here on this imaginary swing set and continue to kick my feet while we wait for the one out seed oils that inevitably coming up next.

Zero fren

 

[pwnest injun]

When an animal gets violently aggressive, it is a sign of insecurity, the opposite of confidence.

The soy turned those monkeys into insecure little bitches.

Milk.

 

[MarvinTheParanoidAndroid]

Yes.

Not soy.

No, I mean "is there a particular food that does the opposite of what soy does?"

 

[Big Brown Schlub]

Onions

Quit torturing monkeys you fuckin' weirdos.

Gash

 

[WebLurker]

No, I mean "is there a particular food that does the opposite of what soy does?"

Meat. Specifically meat that's not grain-feed but free-ranged or grass-fed (something to do with essential amino acids, etc). Salmon is very high in Omega 3 and that's good for brain-function too.

So basically: meat.

 

[Shig O'nella]

No, I mean "is there a particular food that does the opposite of what soy does?"

Red meat with 15 to 20% fat in the fibers, not as a rind.

 

[I'm Retarded?]

millennials have seen two decades of war, a parade of sellout presidents that earned people's trust and then very publicly and pathetically betrayed it for personal gain, a breakout new era of corporate and government spying/mind control, the destruction of traditional social units through the radical advance of communications technology, stagnating wages, inflation, the last gasp of the promise of social mobility (for now), and the very public lowering of the mask and self-debasement of every public agency and echelon of the elite class, but it's the soy that's got them acting antisocial, because something something plant estrogens and a study done on monkeys that's just now being invoked despite being almost 20 years old

sorry kiwifriends, I'm not with you on this one
