James Rutz is chairman of Megashift Ministries and founder-chairman of Open Church Ministries. He is, I’m afraid to say, a conservative. Actually, what he is, is a whacko. Here’s his latest thesis:
Soy is feminizing, and commonly leads to a decrease in the size of the penis, sexual confusion and homosexuality. That’s why most of the medical (not socio-spiritual) blame for today’s rise in homosexuality must fall upon the rise in soy formula and other soy products. (Most babies are bottle-fed during some part of their infancy, and one-fourth of them are getting soy milk!) Homosexuals often argue that their homosexuality is inborn because “I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t homosexual.” No, homosexuality is always deviant. But now many of them can truthfully say that they can’t remember a time when excess estrogen wasn’t influencing them.
That’s right, soy causes gayness. Link.

As someone who had to discontinue consuming soy products because of their link with uterine fibroids (and more recently hypothyroidism), I did considerable research on isoflavones and other phytoestrogens. What I read concerned me, but at NO time did I EVER see an associated link to homosexuality in men. Of course, there may be evidence of links to infertility and ‘brain rot’ in some men.

Rachael was extremely colicky as an infant and was switched over to Enfamil. Which, as you may know has lots of soy in it.
A little known part of our family history is that Rachael was born Raymond.
But we had to make adjustments after that soy poisoning kicked in….

Well, I’m infertile but it was a surgical procedure. Brain Rot–well that’s probably appropriate for a site called Eat Our…well, you know.
Wonkette points at a different column by the same idiot, saying, “To mock it is futile, so instead, we will just point you towards this earlier column by the same gentleman in which he compares the holocaust to women buying too many shoes.”

It’s also a well-known fact that the switch to Daylight Savings Time in the US coincided with the rise of open homosexuality in this country. Coincidence? I think not!
Put that in your bottle and suck on it…..

But we don’t have Daylight Savings Time in Hawaii. Anyway, China has only one time zone and it operates only on a single Standard Time, so I guess by that logic, there’s no homosexuals there. (Hmmm. I may have provided more support for your argument.)

Since careful study is showing little or no effect on perimenopausal and post menopausal symptoms, like hot flashes, the medical community is beginning to think that soy is a good source of vegetable protein, but that phytoestrogens are not as strong a pseudohormone as was once thought. Which means that all those homosexuals have been ingesting a lot of soy. Which means…
…they’re addicted! It’s a drug! Bring in the war on drugs!

Anyone interested in soy and menopause might want to start with the Mayo Clinic site.

Not trying to whip a dead horse here, but the Washington Blade had a link to the Scientific American editors’ blog on this: http://blog.sciam.com/index.php?title=eating_soy_will_not_make_you_gay_we_swea&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

Nice to have that.
You aren’t beating a dead horse. We’re beating a live whacko. That’s what this post was all about.

I’d gladly whip the whacko instead, but he might like it…
