  • Your Gut Microbiome: 3 Facts that will BLOW your Mind

    Meet your gut microbiome, the microbes in your gut. The microbiome can help you lose weight, fight inflammation and prevent diabetes. A look at 3 mind-blowing facts about the gut microbiome.

    Uploaded 10-08-20

    Today we look at our microbiome, the bugs in our gut. It can help us lose weight and avoid disease. How do we keep our microbiome in good shape to improve our health?

    5 mind-blowing facts about the gut microbiome.

    We are made up of both human and microbial cells, and the microbes may actually be the majority. 99% of the genes we carry are in our microbiome. All the genes in our body, human or microbial, can impact our health.

    Why do all these bacteria hang on to us? Fiber isn't excreted unchanged. The soluble fiber in our food gets fermented and broken down by the bacteria in our gut.

    Our microbiome can help with weight loss. We think fiber is just bulk. Bacteria break down fiber to produce short chain fatty acids. Soon everyone will know about short chain fatty acids.

    Do you sometimes overeat? Microbiome to the rescue. Short chain fatty acids help us eat less. Short chain fatty acids cause the cells in our gut wall to produce hormones that reduce our appetite.

    In rodents short chain fatty acids cross the gut wall and influence the brain to reduce appetite. So our microbiome and short chain fatty acids help us feel satiated with less food.

    Our microbiome also helps us fight disease. Our microbiome eats fiber and produces short chain fatty acids. Short chain fatty acids feed our gut wall and prevent leaky gut, fight inflammation and reduce our risk of colon cancer. They can also protect us against diabetes.

    Scientists took people with diabetes and fed them a high-fiber diet rich in whole grains. The high-fiber, whole grain-rich diet was more effective at lowering blood sugar. This effect was tied to specific gut bacteria.

    Fiber and short chain fatty acids can help with weight loss. Hormones produced by gut wall in response to short chain fatty acids also regulate insulin and glucose metabolism. It’s amazing that the bugs in our gut can help us fight diabetes and that eating more fiber can get our microbiome fired up.

    Ok, Microbes are alright. Growing a strong microbiome can be as simple as feeding it. including a variety of fiber sources in your diet. Another great tool are fermented foods. They include fiber as well as bacteria.

  • Does Soy cause manboobs?! Gynecomastia, Testosterone, Estrogen

    Does soy cause gynecomastia aka manboobs? Do the phytoestrogens in soy lower testosterone or cause breasts on men? A look at reported cases of soy-related gynecomastia, testosterone and estrogen levels. Gynecomastia tied to foods other than soy

    Uploaded 19-04-21

    Does eating soy cause manboobs?
    Gynecomastia can be caused by hormones. can soy also cause gynecomastia aka breasts on men?

    Soy contains phytoestrogens. estrogen after the female hormone. chemical structure similar to estrogen

    the manboobs story took off after a case of gynecomastia in a man drinking a lot of soy milk

    scientists dispute the cause of gynecomastia: “not necessarily due to the phytoestrogens” in soy. it probably was related to the soy drink, when he stopped it his gynecomastia resolved. lets say it was the phytoestrogens, how common is gynecomastia tied to soy consumption?

    only a couple cases tying gynecomastia to soy.

    8y old boy with gynecomastia eating a lot of processed soy foods. soy nuggets, soy crumbles, soy chili.

    most reputable sources: soy is healthy

    Billions of people eating soy. tied to processed soy products not soy itself

    if soy caused gynecomastia Japanese men would have breasts?

    maybe western men cant handle the phytoestrogens?
    Asian men dont have breasts.
    randomized trial: soy with or without phytoestrogens, “no changes in breast tissue”

    maybe only adults can handle phytoestrogens?
    study: children drinking soy formula vs no soy. none of the boys developed gynecomastia; "soy protein formula in early life does not seem to produce estrogen-like hormonal effects”

    ok so maybe eating soy doesn’t give me manboobs, but maybe it lowers my testosterone?

    Rats fed phytoestrogens have lower testosterone. amount of phytoestrogen that lowered testosterone was v. high compared to normal human consumption

    does soy and phytoestrogen lower testosterone in humans?

    study found “No significant effect of soy protein or isoflavone (that’s the phytoestrogens) on Testosterone level”

    “neither soy protein nor isoflavones affect reproductive hormone concentrations in men”
    They looked at soy foods like tofu and soy milk, soy grits, soy flour as well as phytoestrogen supplements

    overview:
    “neither isoflavone supplements nor soy itself affect testosterone levels. no evidence that isoflavone affects estrogen levels in men”

    “isoflavones do not exert feminizing effects on men”

    “men can feel confident that making soy a part of their diet will not compromise their virility or reproductive health”

    so soy contains phytoestrogens which look like estrogen but the physiological role is different

    in clinical trials phytoestrogens have no effect on many biological processes known to be affected by estrogen. in some cases they even do the opposite of estrogen

    it’s funny that people associate soy with gynecomastia because other foods are linked to a lot more cases

    gynecomastia reported in young boys in Puerto rico, meat samples with higher estrogen levels suspected

    outbreak in Italy with gynecomastia in very young girls and boys, poultry and beef suspected to be the cause.

    manboobs are a very common issue in our society but they’re not coming from soy.

    soy is health-promoting. edamame, tempeh, tofu. Some soymilk is ok too

    if you're allergic or can't have soy, that’s ok, soy is not essential, you can have a healthy diet without soy

    we focused on gynecomastia today but we have a lot more soy material in the works. more detail on soy-based imitation meats
