[QUOTE="Vince, post: 50290, member: 843"] Vegans have higher testosterone and lower cancer promoting IGF-1. Lower your estrogen levels with tofu. The phytoestrogens, namely isoflavones, bind to estrogen receptors in the human body, however because they are a weaker estrogen (not as powerful as human estrogen) they take the places of the human estrogens and therefore lower estrogen activity. That is why breast cancer risk (a hormone dependant cancer) is siginificantly reduced (50%). A.H. Wu, M.C. Yu, C.C. Tseng, & M.C. Pike. Epidemiology of soy exposures and breast cancer risk. Br J Cancer, 98(1):9-14, 2008. Tempeh is also a good alternative and is a more natural source than tofu. M. Iwasaki, M. Inoue, T. Otani, S. Sasazuki, N. Kurahashi, T. Miura, S. Yamamoto, & S.
