Can consuming a lot of tofu or soy milk cause precocious puberty?

No. Although soy isoflavones have a similar structure to estrogen, the academic consensus is that consuming them as food does not cause precocious puberty. On the contrary, soy protein is beneficial for growth.

엄청난 양의 콩(하루 수 kg)을 매일 먹지 않는 한 괜찮습니다.

  • 유전자 조작(GMO): 콩 자체보다는 수입산 GMO 콩이 문제일 수 있으니, 국산 콩 제품을 권장합니다.
  • 설탕: 두유에는 생각보다 설탕이 많이 들어갑니다. 무가당 두유를 고르세요.
