Jeremy Piven Blames His Moobs On Soy Milk
Jeremy Piven blames his impressive man boobs not on age or a lack of exercise, but soy milk.
"I was the guy that dabbled in soya milk, but now I've found out soya milk has enough estrogen for me to grow breasts; I had to put the soya milk down. It was a very confusing time."
Despite the fact that Jeremy drank almost four times the recommended daily allowance of soy and more than double the amounts used in clinical testing, there is no scientific basis to his claim.
A nutritional expert from St. Catherine University in Minnesota released a study on hormones in men and their relation to soy. Hey, if someone takes the time to write an entire book about soy and male hormones I am going to call them an expert. She says that Piven is full of crap. She says it nicer than that, but hey, it's probably how she wanted to say it.
"Usually, studies only go as high as 150 mg of isoflavones a day. And a reasonable intake would normally be about 100 mg a day, which is four full servings of soy. Soy has been studied extensively for 20 years," she says, "and we haven't found man boobs yet."
Except on Piven. Maybe he is going to use it as an excuse to get out of his next project.
