That sounds like you didn't actually read the abstract. It wasn't a "particular experiment". It was forty-seven experiments.

... or SBHG levels, or FAI.

Well, no, it's not a world away from that, because one of the major effects of estrogen on men is to affect androgen levels, so if these isoflavones don't do that, then it is unlikely that they are affecting the body the same way that estrogen does. It doesn't rule out the possibility that soy isoflavones affect the human body, but it puts a huge hole in the entire basis for thinking that they might.

It could still product other estrogen like effects. > but it puts a huge hole in the entire basis for thinking that they might How so? There are so many other ways for the isoflavones to affect the body besides lowering T levels. We already know that there are a number of people reporting feminization, health, and gastro symptoms from consuming unfermented soy products. That's hard to ignore. Something is going on.
