Again I ask- what's your point? I merely stated the fact that both hops and cannabis are endocrine disruptors, which is factual. Having a receptor in the brain to interface with the endocrine disruptor doesn't make it less disruptive.
Are you being intentionally obtuse? If it happened to whoosh you, I'll repeat it. My boys doctor did not want them eating the same amount of tofu ( soy is heavy estrogen) that I ate. It was a big deal in our home because due to lactose intolerance we switched from soy milk.
I personally prefer coconut or almond milk. The child that was told he couldn't drink soy milk preferred that.

Its got to be the plant thats been smoked for thousands of years, not the plastics or other pollutants, right, right?
Anyway, the main irk I have is you are assuming they bind to the same receptors. They dont.

There is some evidence to suggest it can block testosterone though. Not much, Iffy.
Its got to be the plant though right, not the people raping the planet and its people for profit. Yeah, must be.
Here's a quick link I found for you.
