Jeremy Piven claims soy milk gave him moobs

I had a friend who swore by soy milk. She claimed that soya tasted better than real milk, and that it helped her diet considerably. Personally, I've never been a milk or soya person. I don't have cereal for breakfast (I have fresh fruit, so I am somewhat healthy), and I don't drink coffee, so I don't have any need for milk, half-in-half or soya. So I have no opinion generally on the Milk v. Soya War. I'm just putting that out there.

Jeremy Piven was once a soy milk person. He drank it all the time, but he had to quite because... wait for it... soya gave him moobs. Moobs are defined as man boobs' and to my eyes, Jeremy had at least a perky B-cup the last time I saw pictures of him shirtless. Of course, he was also waxed and gross. You can't blame soya for everything, Piv!

‘Entourage' actor Jeremy Piven stopped using soya milk because he was afraid it would make him grow breasts.

Jeremy Piven drank so much soya milk he started to grow breasts.

The ‘Entourage' star has revealed he 'dabbled' in using dairy substitutes on his cereal, but switched back to the real thing when he started to feel like a woman.

The 44-year-old actor explained: 'I was the guy that dabbled in soya milk, but now I've found out soya milk has enough oestrogen for me to grow breasts; I had to put the soya milk down.

'It was a very confusing time.'

Though he was keen to embrace soy products, Jeremy admits he is far less adventurous when it comes to other culinary choices.

He said: 'I don't go too far out with my choices. Although when I was in Japan, I had a traditional Japanese breakfast that consisted of some quail eggs and you actually eat the head of some strange fish.

'It all looked like Jurassic Park! I don't think I could be a samurai, but I ate it.'

So I googled soy milk estrogen' and I found that there is some evidence that the Piv might be on to something. Some health-related sites claim that soy contains a natural chemical that mimics estrogen' and that soy might increase the risk of breast cancer in some women, affect brain function in men and lead to hidden developmental ab-normalities in infants....2 glasses of soy milk/day, over the course of one month, contain enough of the chemical to change the timing of a woman's menstrual cycle.' There's also a few pieces devoted to the idea that soy milk will make boys gay'. Whatever. Everything in moderation.

Anyway, the Piv and his food, I just don't know. It was back in December of last year that Jeremy claimed he had mercury poisoning from eating too much sushi. And now he's blaming soya on his moobs. Maybe the Piv needs one of those nutritional experts to give him some kind of consult. Because he obviously can't choose his own food anymore.
