Patient's question:
Since soy milk has a lower fat content than milk, it is chosen to supplement the protein needed by the human body. However, it is said that soy contains isoflavones, which are a type of plant estrogen. It is unknown whether long-term consumption will lead to precocious puberty.Doctor's answer:
This food contains estrogen content. Consuming it in small amounts is generally not a problem and there is no need to worry excessively. Long-term consumption may increase the possibility of precocious puberty. It is recommended to pay attention to personal dietary planning in daily life. In daily life, focus on a light, balanced diet that is rich in vitamins and trace elements, and prioritize diverse, easily digestible foods. Reduce the consumption of hormone-containing processed foods. Normal consumption should not pose a problem, so there is no need to worry excessively. However, if you choose genetically modified products, they may be harmful to your health.
