“I switched to soy milk because it’s lactose-free,” he says, “and I had heard that soy milk is supposed to be good for you.”
He tried it and liked it. Soon soy milk became a regular item on his shopping list, something he bought on autopilot.
In the wake of Donna’s death, Price’s body as well as his emotions began to change, often in ways that were hard to separate from normal grief.
Mood swings and a decrease in libido are not unusual companions to bereavement. But Price had a nagging sense that something was off.
“I was becoming much more sentimental,” he recalls, describing his emotions as almost feminine. “I’d break out and cry at a sad movie, that kind of thing. It just wasn’t like me.”
When Price began dating again, it was as if the sexual aspect had evaporated. “I enjoyed the company of women,” he says, “but it was just like they were my friends. Even if I had wanted to do anything physical, I couldn’t have.”
The gynecomastia that eventually developed became deeply humiliating for Price. He stopped wearing T-shirts even on the hottest days, fearing his friends and neighbors might see the telltale bumps beneath the fabric. His breasts by this point resembled the buds of a pubescent girl.
Never once in the subsequent yearlong ordeal of medical testing did it cross his mind that soy milk might be the cause.
“I had no idea,” he says. “I never gave it a second thought.”
The day Dr. Lewi asked him to stop drinking the stuff, he immediately complied. He also began checking the ingredient labels on all other items he regularly consumed. If Dr. Lewi was right, going cold turkey on soy just might begin to reverse the symptoms.
Over the next several months, blood tests revealed Price’s estrogen levels were, indeed, dropping steadily back toward normal.
Even better, the extreme nipple tenderness began abating. Eventually, his breasts stopped hurting completely and he gradually began feeling a little more like his old self.
Dr. Lewi, who had searched the medical literature extensively when trying to solve Price’s case, had come across no papers linking soy to gynecomastia.
Realizing his obligation to warn other doctors about the possibility, he told Price he wanted to follow him for several more months and eventually write up his case for a medical journal.
Price readily agreed, grateful for the chance to spare others from his ordeal.
20s to 40s: Privates in Peril
In a Harvard study published last year in the journal Human Reproduction, Jorge E. Chavarro, M.D., Sc.D., and his colleagues found a strong association between men’s consumption of soy foods and decreased sperm counts.
Ninety-nine men reported their intake of 15 different soy-based foods, then underwent semen analysis. Those in the highest category of daily soy intake averaged 32 percent fewer sperm per milliliter of ejaculate than those who went sans soy.
