I finally clicked on the link.

That article about soy being full of estrogen, and soy formula being responsible for homosexuality - um, wow. That guy is off his rocker. He tipped it so far that it fell over and shattered in a million pieces, at least a few of which are clearly lodged in his ass. Wow.

The first rebuttal that comes to mind: Asian cultures have always used a lot of soy, though it's fairly recent in North America. So why is it that Asian cultures have about the same rate of homosexuality as Western ones?

And I shudder to think what someone with little scientific knowledge and a serious thing for breastfeeding could do with this piece of misinformation. "Formula will make your son gay! On noes!!!111!!!!"

I don't have time for more.

Breastfeeding, however, leads to a child with too much testosterone and a livelong yearning for meals taken at Hooters.

(Kidding. And as someone who until recently had too much testosterone I assure you I have never set foot in, nor have any desire to go into, a Hooters.)

That made me laugh. Thanks. :)
