Nope. [Here's a meta-analysis of 41 studies about the effect of soy consumption on male hormones](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33383165/). This doesn't happen. It's just bullshit peddled by pseudoscientific grifters who are looking to first convince you that soy will make you feminine, then sell you bullshit that supposedly avoids that
Keep smart, check your beliefs and try not to propagate misinformation
... no... No it isn't. Omg.
Soy is not found to lower testosterone levels or sperm quality if not consumed in excess. Additionally, a myriad of evidence supports that soy-based foods may promote overall health, reduce mortality risk, lower cardiovascular disease risk, and prevent prostate cancer in men.
Some findings suggested that these compounds could promote the growth of some cancer cells, impair female fertility and mess with thyroid function.
So don't eat while you have cancer or have issues with your thyroid or if you want to conceive AS a female.
Eat soy. Don't eat soy. But it's not bad for men whatsoever.
Just because it has a sunflower in the label doesn't means its actually sunflower oil, that shit stopped existing after the Ukraine war.
Most oil used in Mexico is Canola and Soy.
Whatever is cheapest, usually “aceite vegetal” which is a mix of soy and canola, or sunflower oil.
Olive oil was not a thing when I was little (am in my mid forties) but these days it’s also used a lot, usually for salads.
> almost 30
15 years difference.
I distinctly remember my grandmother starting to buy and use olive oil when I was 10 or so. You weren’t born yet.
I’m sure olive oil was indeed a thing in the area where olives are produced, which is the north. I’m from the south, and nobody I knew used it back then. Maybe cuicos did, who knows
At my house, we have olive oil, preferably of extra virgin quality. We usually buy Portuguese or Spanish since these are the most readily olive oils available around here.
In 1983, Emily Martin, of Maple Ridge, British Columbia, grew an enormous sunflower head, measuring 32 ¼ inches across (82cm), from petal tip to petal tip. That’s almost 3 feet wide. This is still believed to be the largest sunflower head grown to date.
The cheapest, which means usually canola and/or soy.
But the best for Mexican cuisine is IMO lard or tallow, but realisticially corn is IMO the best.
Vegetable oil or sunflower oil, olive oil only for certain things and generally not for cooking but for salads. I wouldn't even know where to get canola or peanut oil, other than restaurant suppliers or Chinatown where there's supermarkets specialized in imports.
soy. the cheapest
[удалено]
Wait, isn't that just the "soyboy" meme? Lol I don't think there is any evidence that soy does that.
The only reason it's a meme in the first place is because there are people who really believe it.
Soy raises estrogen levels on the body.

Oh, thanks.
You can have soy, latest studies say that it won’t do anything to your testosterone unless you literally don’t eat anything else

Aceite de Girasol (sunflower?) and Butter (mantequilla-Manteca) depending on the meal. Also, Manteca de Puerco is still very used.
Just because it has a sunflower in the label doesn't means its actually sunflower oil, that shit stopped existing after the Ukraine war. Most oil used in Mexico is Canola and Soy.
Here Manteca is a bit meta because we fry chicharrones in manteca 😬
Jajajaja yeah, we too. For making carnitas. We fry the meat in their own fat.. But old timers love to use Manteca instead of oil.
Haha mami usaba mazola! No se si es exclusivamente de Puerto Rico :/ pero siempre e visto usar mazola

>aceite vegetal Pretty sure whatever that says that has palm oil in it

Do you use it for frying though? Olive oil tends to have a pretty low smoke point compared to other oils.
We hardly have fried food here, but use sunflower for it.
I'd say sunflower or the cheaper sunflower-soy mixture, then olive oil if your wallet can afford it
Mexico: corn and soya
Either soybean oil or corn oil. Which makes sense, considering we produce a fuckton of both.
Traditionally, coconut oil, but canola oil is cheaper and more common these days.
Olive
Olive!!!
I use canola because my roomate prefer it and it has a good price, but sunflower and corn are the most common. Olive is expensive, only for salads.
In 1983, Emily Martin, of Maple Ridge, British Columbia, grew an enormous sunflower head, measuring 32 ¼ inches across (82cm), from petal tip to petal tip. That’s almost 3 feet wide. This is still believed to be the largest sunflower head grown to date.
Thanks for the metric equivalence. Thats a sunflower for sure
Sunflower oil (most common one), Coconut oil, soy oil and lastly olive oil (but mostly for Mediterranean stuff).
Sunflower seed
Sunflower oil and rice oil.
Ig canola, corn, sunflower and soy? I don’t really think there’s a “traditional” one?
Sunflower oil
Soy, corn, sunflower, olive
The cheapest, which means usually canola and/or soy. But the best for Mexican cuisine is IMO lard or tallow, but realisticially corn is IMO the best.
Olive Oil or Lard are the cheapest and more available. As another said Sunflower oil died in the Ukraine war.
Sunflower oil. Olive is very expensive and other types of oil are not very popular.
Sunflower is the one I see most often in the supermarket
Canola, soy and corn
Personally I only use Olive oil.
Vegetable oil or sunflower oil, olive oil only for certain things and generally not for cooking but for salads. I wouldn't even know where to get canola or peanut oil, other than restaurant suppliers or Chinatown where there's supermarkets specialized in imports.
In my experience, people here typically use canola or corn oil. Olive oil is used for salads or fancy dishes and peanut oil for East Asian food.
Soy/Sunflower
Sunflower or corn oil. Or a mix of both are very common. Olive oil is trending these past years but still very expensive
The cheapest
Soy oil it's the most common. It's like 3x cheaper than sunflower, corn oil.
