That is the headline that every hard-working journalist dreams her whole life of writing.
Yes, Jeremy Piven is now claiming that drinking soy milk made him grow some man tits:
The Entourage star, who decided to use dairy substitutes on his cereal, has said that he drank so much soya milk that it began to make him feel like a woman, reports STV.
The 44-year-old said: “I was the guy that dabbled in soya milk, but now I’ve found out soya milk has enough estrogen for me to grow breasts, I had to put the soya milk down.
“It was a very confusing time.”
Between blaming sushi for mercury poisoning and soy for his C-cup moobs, Jeremy must not know anyone from Japan because the Japanese eat a ton of fish — 154 pounds a year on average — and consume a lot of soy with zero ill effects.
Someone take away his venti soy frappuccino and get this douchebag a registered dietician, stat.

Food seems to give him lots of problems. Maybe he should just stop eating.
The Japanese eat a lot of FERMENTED soy products. They don’t drink soy milk.Soy has to be fermented to be remotely healthy.
So do you need a prescription for this magical elixir? Or can it be bought over the counter. Not for me of course. My girlfriend eats a lot of cereal. Think she’ll notice the difference?
Soy milk can cause serious complications in cases of hormonal-dependent cancer.
On the other side, we are talking about FREAKING PIVEN HERE!!! His metabolism is so fragile, he might get mercury poisoning by looking at a thermometer!
There are a lot of theories and anecdotal accounts relating the high Japanese level of stomach cancer with high fish consumption.

Piven is not a typical Anabolic steroid user, but gynecomastia (or bitch tit) is a relatively frequent occurence with such use/abuse.
Pivens numerous outbursts might be consistent with roid rage, and he underwent a physical transformation that, while not unheard of from someone his age, was statistically unlikely.
WHO IS JEREMY PIVEN? Seriously! Why is he ‘famous’? Outside of this site I have never heard of this leperous retard!
If I would have known that all I had to do was drink soy milk, I wouldn’t have to use these stupid water bras.
bitch tit’s….haven’t heard that term in years, freakin’ awesome dude!
Avatar – ever watch “Old SChool”? He gets killed in the end – love it!
And Piven is a boob.
So, what was his excuse for being a teensy little swinging dick when he WASN’T drinking soy milk?
Assuming he has no Japanese DNA, I guess it affects him differently.
There’s a reason that naturopaths recommend soy for women in menopause – soy contains phytoestrogen compounds (particularly isoflavones), which can act like estrogen in the body. I’m not at all convinced that soy should be eaten by any men, or by any pre-menopausal women. (Fermented soy (as soy is typically consumed in Japan) does not have the same levels of these compounds.)
Oh for the luvva monkeys. This guy! Well, I guess that he couldn’t exactly use the old adage that smoking pot causes moobs, heheh.
At my local Chinese grocer there is a ton of soy products across the board, from milk, pudding, and ice-cream, to various forms of curds and edamame, etc. It’s very big in their diet.
Very true Toubrouk and GCB.
I have seen old school, but i’m trying to block it out of my head. This clown just has one of those inherent smirks that makes you want to slap him. Preferrably with a blunt object, with spikes and burning with the heat of a thousand suns.
Fortunate_Son is spot on about the ill effects which have also been noted in Scandinavian countries where fish is also a staple part of the typical diet. But as for the affect of soy on gynecomastia, it’s also not too likely that he’s getting it from soy unless he’s been consuming it in fairly considerable quantities for the past 20 or more years. If he has been, then yeah, it may well be the case. But not if he’s using only soy milk, doesn’t drink it for much more than just his breakfast cereal, and has only been doing in the past couple years which it sounds like is the case.
What gcb mentioned with regards to the Japanese and fermented soy is also spot on as is what was said about naturopaths recommending soy. My own two cents on when it’s recommended to menopausal women though is that hormone therapy including the natural hormone-like substances in soy for menopause result in an increased incidence of certain kinds of cancer. There is, after all, a reason why the body is reducing the amount of estrogen. The body generally doesn’t just say to itself, “Hey, for kicks and giggles, let’s change something just to screw with this person.” However, I know I’ve mentioned elsewhere, but in women, consuming soy with some regularity before puberty will have an opposite affect with regards to incidences of cancer. Most likely it sort of allows the body to figure out that the phytoestrogen isn’t ‘real’ estrogen before it starts actually needing estrogen which it can make for itself anyway and thus gives the body time to reconfigure itself during puberty to use it better than just using it the same way as estrogen. Right now though, I don’t have any information as to whether or not that changes soy’s effectiveness with regards to symptoms of menopause; just the affects on cancer incidence rates. For males though, yes we make some estrogen mostly for sperm maturation and potentially it increases sex-drive, but for the most part, having more isn’t a good thing and the whole pre-pubescence rule doesn’t apply. It’s just always not one of the best things out there for guys. Not that soy every once in awhile for several years or regularly for a couple months will have a whole lot of affect if any that’s noticeable, it’s just better to avoid it unless you just happen to really like the taste of unfermented soy products. And/or don’t mind the possibility of alterations to sexual characteristics and higher cancer rates. That’s just my little chiropractic student spiel on that. In summation, I’m of the opinion that Piven is likely lying about this as badly as with his mercury and is more likely secretly on steroids as Fortunate_Son alluded to as a possibility, but forgetting the whole need to still actually work out in order for them to work for you. After all, who has time to work out when you’re scheduled for plays that you have to break contract from in order to party?
Soy contains phytoestrogen isoflavones, various compounds which increase estrogen production in men. Soy is increasingly found in many, many products we consume (as a cheap filler). Combine that with increases in direct soy consumption like soy milk, and you have enough consumption that can cause gynecomastia – man boobs. As far as the asian argument, they eat a lot less soy than is commonly thought. The average Japanese consumes between two tablespoons and 1/4 cup a day, which is not enough to trigger estrogen dominance.
I wonder what he’s gonna have to ‘explain away’ in January. gotta keep his name in the public eye some how.
Time will tell, but here’s hoping it’s a raging case of herpes.
If that happens, can we call him Valtrex McManboobs?
My husband is lactose intolerant and puts soy milk on his cereal every morning, but has yet to grow moobs. Hmm…
Jannah, I think pot smokers’ moobs come from the munchies, not from the THC, but I could be wrong.
I’m 48 and exercise a lot. When I was eating soy-based products and drinking soy protein drinks I noticed my chesty area started looking different, and not in a good way. I switched back to whey protein and cut down on the soy foods I was buying at Trader Joes. Things went back to normal soon after. Piven may be a bull-pooper but the concept is real, along with mercury poisoning. I let a cracked filling go unfixed for a long time and developed many of the symptoms of mercury poisoning. Life’s still no fun and it’s been a few years since I had all my fillings removed. Even if I didn’t have to I like not having the taste of metal in my mouth all the time.
Piven sure is one hypersensitive little canary, isn’t he?
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and predict that Jerm will fall completly off the radar this month. He’ll disappear, softly yawning, sometime after dinner on Thursday, November the 26th.
A couple decades later, he’ll be spotted under a tree in the Catskills, wondering if Washington has crossed the Delaware yet.
I’m glad there is some negative press for soy milk. Need all the negative press to convince people that its not healthy!!
I’m lactose intolerant and have been drinking soy milk for years, and have never experienced any problems whatsoever, letalone a bigger breast size.
… unfortunately.
Soy Milk in Men can create a state of confusion, apathy, fatigue, hair loss etc..PLease enough with the JAPANESE PEOPLE DRINK SOY MILK NO they do not…They eat fermented soy.
So off the shelves this horrible soy .
