Comment on Why do some fruit produce human compatible hormones?

You’re talking about amino acids, which all life on earth possess compatible ones. Otherwise you wouldn’t be able to eat anything. Plants do not produce mammalian compatible hormones or we would have been extracting that shit for millennia to increase breast size, etc. The modern “Soyboy” shit was always made up.

That is just factually incorrect. Many plants produce the exact molecules or proteins that are used as hormones in humans. Hormones do much much more than influence breast size. In fact most hormones are completely unrelated to gender and sex. Ever felt stressed? Hormones. Ever felt hungry? Hormones. Actually … ever felt anything at all? Hormones. And plants do the same. They also feel stressed and they use some of the same hormones in the process.
