Explains my moobs.

Funny. But for real, phytoestrogens have really been slandered by masculine culture so afraid of anything femme.
Phytoestrogens, like those found in soy, actually make the body produce less estrogen and tend to help regulate estrogen hormonal production.
It does not just make you more feminine and make it harder to get strong unlike most manosphere peeps believe about “soyboys.” I wonder if the phytoestrogens in beer are the same way.

Hey, hops seems to have phytoestrgens, so all beerdrinkers are soyboys too eheh.
chetradley@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Hops have a much more potent phytoestrogen than soy, 8-PN. Both are negligible compared to cows milk though.
Agent641@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
My mum still believes that soy milk will make me grow tits because of the big milk propaganda.

You can keep your bread-flavored soda. My water is flavored with ROCKS (minerals added for taste).
rumschlumpel@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
I wish it was bread-flavored. Bread doesn’t usually taste like bitter herbs.

Try the Russian bread water (Kwas) in your local eastern European grocer.

Sightly chilled, bubbly flower water is good, but what about some hot bush water, or hot seed water.

I also like to breathe hot leaf aroma, though from a different leaf.

Seems quite a few people really like hot ground up roasted cherry pit water.
kata1yst@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
I’m pretty sure that’s the ‘hot seed water’, since technically coffee berries are not cherries and the ‘bean’ isn’t a pit, it’s a seed.
Des@hexbear.net 3 weeks ago
also very closely related to cannabis flowers!
terpene profiles are very similar so you get those “skunky” and “diesel” hoppy beers
Gerudo@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
There’s a brewery I love that does a beer designed as a weed beer but no thc or even cbd. The hops they use are so skunky, you’d swear you were just drinking weed.

Lagunitas has a seasonal beer like that that comes out around 4/20 The Waldo’s.
It’s an IPA and it is like 14% and. It slaps.

Moidialectica@hexbear.net 3 weeks ago
(hopped) Beer tastes like utter shit and I don’t understand how anyone can stomach the equivalent of watering down unsweetened cacao with a worse aftertaste and the lack of alcohol content to actually make you drunk, with the additional negative that you’re basically drinking bad tasting bread so you’re gonna become fat

Liking beer or not is a matter of personal tastes. However, if the beer tastes like “watered down unsweetened cocoa”, then it’s probably poor quality beer. Good beer should taste different from everything, even other beers.
Dreadbeef recommended IPA; if you’re into bitter flavours, I also recommend it. There’s also sweet stouts if you like sweeter ones. (Juuust in case you’re here from LatAm, note mass produced pilsener are typically really bland and meh. A lot of people like it this way, that’s fine, but it would explain why you think it’s watered down cocoa.)

Flavonoids as Phytoestrogenic Components of Hops and Beer
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7570471/The Effects of the Hops Phytoestrogen in Beer on Breast Cancer Risk
https://nutritionfacts.org/blog/the-effects-of-the-hops-phytoestrogen-in-beer-on-breast-cancer-risk/
tl/dr - beer because of the ethanol, and 8-PN from hops, which is a selective estrogen receptor alpha promoter is proliferative on breast cells thus increasing breast cancer risk. And at the same time lowers risk for osteoporosis.Tho' some sources (https://www.greenskybio.com/hops_extract/37420.html) say 8-PN exists at extremely low concentrations in beer as it is served.

I thought phytoestrogens didn’t affect humans?
rainwall@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
They dont effect your mammalian estrogen levels, but they do have an effect on you like every chemical you ingest.

My wife buys me flowers and it makes me feel really special. She doesn’t care for flowers at all, but she knows that I do, which makes me appreciate that much more that she’d pick out and pay for something that only I like.
