The hops used in your favorite drink could be giving you man boobs.

That’s because hops contain a high amount of phytoestrogen — a plant-derived chemical that is similar to the female sex hormone estrogen.

Several studies have shown that these tasty little hops can have an estrogenic effect on a man’s body.

IPAs Are Not Giving You Man Boobs

There’s no evidence that IPAs are giving you man boobs. A provocatively titled article claiming the exact opposite made the rounds on social media a few days ago, but there is no evidence to back up this claim. Here are the facts.
As with any plant, hops contain a wide variety of chemical compounds. One of these compounds — 8-prenylnaringenin (8-PN) — is a phytoestrogen. A phytoestrogen is a plant compound (hence the prefix “phyto”) that binds to estrogen receptors. Specifically, 8-PN has been shown to bind tightly to estrogen receptors in rat uterus. Hops also contain isoxanthohumol, which can be converted to 8-PN in the intestines.

I think it reiterates the adverse impact of hops to a man’s body.

The article references "studies" but gives no links to those studies.

Here is a link to an actual study that states hop extract actually reduces body fat:

Pretty sure that was written by a clickbait site in 2015 and was copied and pasted by NY Post

Common sense.

Why else would drinking too much beer result in becoming overly emotional, talking without making sense, and not being able to drive?

quote:

8-PN is a potent phytoestrogen, one of the strongest detected to date, but it’s concentration in beer varies from undetectable to very low levels. (One study found 20 micrograms per liter as the highest concentration.) In the few papers that have been published on the topic, none show a direct link between beer consumption and male breast development (or female breast development). One study claimed that 8-PN levels in beer might reach a level that could result in human biological activity, but two others claimed this was unlikely.

No evidence of the Paul Allen’s article. Also stfu Paul, your posts suck

Don’t know exactly, what time is it now?
I just would like to see some pictures of all the culinary delights that you prepare and dine on. You know the ones, the ones that are so much greater than everyone else’s.. Man, you must have a great album with all the fancy places that you’ve played tennis, polo, and dined at. Please share with us that are on welfare and will never get that chance.

I’m not sure if you’re being serious or not, but cut out the absurd and uncalled for personal attack posts to me. Enough is enough.

I don’t find this amusing one bit. Please don’t talk to me anymore because I don’t want to hear what you have to say to me or think of me. Ok.

Enjoy

Btw, there’s actually a difference in hatred and the amazement of borderline feeling sorry for somebody.
