See the book “The Plant Paradox” by Dr. Steven Gundry, a former vegetarian.

Read this and you will understand why so many young people are confused about “gender.”
Oh,no! Not tomatoes. ....
Also read the book, “Wheat Belly” by William Davis MD. You will be amazed at what has happen to wheat over the years and how it affects you now.
Gundry is a hack who promotes health via his own line of perpetually-taken supplements and begin a paywall for his exclusive clinics (see his never-ending videos for reference). That stated, what you wrote is spot-on and more informative than the article itself, yet most wont care.
The takeaway from the article should be the admission that hormonal imbalance is caused by foods and that you cannot trust either advertisements or the government.
