Soy Milk Makes Kids Gay

Really? REALLY?!
Jim Rutz posted on Dec. 12, 2006 in response to the book titled The Whole Soy Story, that not only is this health food, unhealthy.... but it also makes kids gay because of estrogen like hormones called Isoflavones (this sounds made up to me). The entire article is here. So i hate to be super skeptical but to me it seems like this conservative homophobic scientist needs to prove something. he's using science, something which we "understand" to be factual... to support his own fears of gender blending.
apparently there is a lot of this soy research surfacing now, and this worries me. the FDA is going to be posting warning labels on soy products soon warning mothers of giving their children extra estrogen. if soy milk is unhealthy, then fine... but anything in excess is unhealthy. this frustrates me immensly.

on the verge

news flash! news flash!
i will be leaving this country in 1 month! I will be travelling to Chile for 2 weeks and then on to Buenos Aires, Argentina for 6 months.... i will be a student. I will probably want to do everything BUT go to class. I will video blog.
I really am unsure of what to expect on this journey. Primarily, I desire to be ripped from this bubble we call university, and the bubble i live in called Iowa City. I seek to perhaps discover some harsh realities, about myself and others. My goal is to track emotional stages with a journal vlog... and a report events and experiences vlog...and a track my spanish (improvement) vlog. maybe more.... so hopefully i will find the time to actively practice donating video to the cyberworld.

To my parents and friends that watch... i appreciate any and all support--- just by watching.... and comments or advice are of the essence.

there will be more updates to come... and hopefully a short kokopelli video that i just got an idea for! YAY! checking out.
