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.
Ha ha ... somehow I knew this story was going to show up on CDAN.
ReplyDeleteewwwwwwww!!! my eyes, MY EYES!!!
ReplyDeletewhat has been seen cannot be unseen.
my trauma has begun.
Are those implants? What is with the weird stretching/scarring between them?
ReplyDelete"Pass the Buck" Piven
ReplyDeleteLooks like he may have had some surgery by the scars between his moobs.
ReplyDeleteNot sure about soy causing moobs, BUT - there is a school of thought that believes soy can wreak havoc on the thyroid glands of certain people. Several years ago I began eating soy products for breast health, and developed thyroid nodules. I will have to take thryoid hormone for the rest of my life. Can I prove the soy caused it? No. But if you do some google searches you will find several sites that claim soy isn't a good idea for everyone.
ReplyDeleteThat said, JP is pretty damn creepy.
If there's one celebrity I can't stand, it's the Piv. I find everything about him offensive. Yuck!
ReplyDeleteI think we will be using the Narcissistic Personality Disorder diagnosis for many years to come...thanks, NSAM!
ReplyDelete"dabbled in soya milk"
ReplyDeletewtf?!
Darn it!! I just chugged two liters of the stuff before I read the post, I was hoping to save on implants...
ReplyDeleteI have the thyroid problem too, and developed an allergy to soy.
ReplyDeleteThis guy sure points the finger a lot. Shut up already, Jeremy.

ReplyDeleteOh please--his moobs are from smoking weed and drinking alcohol.
ReplyDeletethose scars in his cleavage look like old acne pits to me. wonder what he can blame those on?
ReplyDeleteHey Barton Fink - so because I believe that soy exacerbated my thyroid condition, I'm a conspiracy wingnut? I find your comment a bit offensive.
ReplyDeleteSorry. I hadn't read your comment -- I was thinking about the sites that say soy is poison, part of an industrial conspiracy, etc.
ReplyDeleteMy mother used to have soy cravings during menopause, so the isoflavones do have hormonal effect, I know. Again, sorry for not reading your comment first!
John Robbins has an interesting take on soy paranoia and mania:

Thanks for your reply comment, Barton. I'm not familiar with the "soy is poison" web sites, but I do believe that it is poison for me, personally. I'll take a look at the site you reference. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe weirdness on his chest reminds me of the weirdness of Tara Reid's stomach a few years back. Bad lipo?
ReplyDeleteThe idiot seems incapable of takinf responsibility for any of his 'problems'. First 'Mercury poisoning' from too much sushi now moobs from soy. What a prick.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what he'll blame his arseholyness on?

Who knew the Piv was such a miracle of modern science?! Next he'll be claiming all the weed he smokes helped cure him of cancer.
ReplyDeleteThat photo is AWFUL.. and funny as hell!
ReplyDeleteHis mercury poisoning was due to sushi.
ReplyDeleteHis moobs are due to soy milk.
Does that mean that the fertilizers companies use to grow things are the reason HE'S FULL OF SHIT?
A few push-ups might help make that more attractive.
ReplyDeleteThose have to be scar from having pec implants put in.
ReplyDeleteAsian nations have a high consumption of tofu, which is made from soy milk. Anyone know if they have a higher percentage of man boobs?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don't buy the Perv's argument, either.
I happen to be in a retail store in Bev. Hills when a person (I'm assuming his asst) came in asking for a hat that had been put on hold for the Piv. He had called in the request the previous day from the store in Malibu because he couldn't find one that fit. The asst. explained it like this: "He's got a big head."
ReplyDeleteTruer words have never been spoken.
Soy(a)? What's he going to blame his a$$holeness on? A peanut allergy?
ReplyDeletethat's not where they make the incision for pec implants. they do those like a boob job---right under the pec and it's a very small, fine incision that becomes invisible.
ReplyDeleteand those aren't pecs----they're tits.
How does JP find anytime for acting or other work with all his fish eating and soy milk drink.
ReplyDeleteDouche. Love Ari Gold though.
Hey!! St. Kate's!! My Mom went there!
ReplyDeleteBut .. to the point .. WTF is with the glacial rift in Piv's chest? It is ruding me out!! Yick!!!
I am thinking it is more buyer remorse after implants .. but that is just a wild guess.
I'm willing to give him benefit of the doubt on this one and say that he was probably joking when he said it.
ReplyDeleteAs for the "glacial rift" (nice one, Wil) I'll go with acne or chicken pox marks. We'd have to see earlier shirtless photos of the Piv to be sure, though. Maybe surgery (not implants)? That seems like quite a dent below his sternum.
Well bloody hell - I read the story about the 11 year old below, and what did I find? Help for Mr. Piven:

Sun damage?
Mercury poisoning from sushi and boobs from soy? Sounds like Piv needs to learn moderation. Overdosing on everything isn't good for anyone.
ReplyDeleteDidn't he used to be hirsute? If he doesn't wax, he might have had laser hair removal. That can scar if it's not done right or the person doesn't follow instructions ("don't tan the area before treatment" being the major one).
