Do bean products have hormones?

Soybean and other bean products contain a kind of "phytoestrogen", which is a hormone. It has biological activity similar to that of animal estrogen, but its effect is far weaker than that of estrogen, so it has little influence on human body in terms of hormones. Normal consumption will not cause hormonal abnormalities.

Soybean isoflavone is not a real estrogen, but it is similar to estrogen in chemical structure and can bind to estrogen receptor in function, so it got a flower name. The activity of soybean isoflavone is only1100 ~11000 of human estrogen.

When the level of human estrogen is high, its combination with estrogen receptor limits the normal combination of human estrogen and estrogen receptor to a certain extent, but it reduces the high estrogen in the body as a whole.

Soybean isoflavone, a witty two-way regulating ability, is very important to health. Normal consumption of soy products will not lead to excessive estrogen levels in the body.

Extended data

In addition to soy products, foods containing hormones around you:

1, ripe fruit.

First of all, plant food does not contain too many hormones. But there is a special case, that is, "ripening" fruits, such as some fruits listed in advance, are often ripened with lycopene, and the hormones contained in these lycopene can promote the development, growth and early maturity of fruits.

A typical example is "ethephon". At the same time, hormones will stay in this ripe fruit. Therefore, when buying fruits, parents must pay attention to the season and try not to buy fruits that are too early, out of season, too red and too fresh.

2. Animal viscera.

Because hormones mainly exist in the blood, the content of hormones in meat is high, especially in the internal organs of animals, so the internal organs of animals should not be eaten too much. At the same time, for many chickens and ducks, it is often fed with hormone-containing feed to fatten up, resulting in a lot of hormones in these meats.

People's Daily Online-Children are wary of foods containing a lot of hormones around them.
