Hey man, are you okay? I don't know why people get all touchy about this subject.
This still debunks the myth that vegans have lower testosterone when compared to meat eating populations, and still maintain other benefits
There are many more studies which corroborate this claim, which was the point of posting the blue zone image in my first post, which includes the Sardinian population, as well as the original Okinawan population who ate mostly plant based diets. Also mentioned in the previous study, are lower average IGF-1 levels in vegans, which is associated with lower cancer rates. There's also this study of over 130,000 patients at Massachusetts General Hospital:

Besides this fact, studies control for other factors such as smoking/drinking/lifestyle so I'm not sure what your point is.
Here's the list of citations. All you had to do was click the tab labeled 'citations', retard. Also you're discounting information that was merely *gathered* by an individual.

…there's more
Which phytoestrogens? You're not even being specific, you're just saying 'phytoestrogens', but 8-prenylnaringenin (8-PN) which is found in beer has feminizing effects, and acts on different receptors than the ones found in whole soy products. Soy is a 'good' estrogen to consume. It has never been shown to have significant feminizing effects in humans, and it is chemoprotective.
You're a neurotic idiot who can't handle being wrong about anything. Besides, I haven't seen you post a single scientific study to the contrary of any of my claims, it's just pure vitriol; if you weren't filled with such vitriol, you might be able to come to some new truth.
