First Jeremy Piven blamed sushi for mercury poisoning, and now the actor claims he grew man boobs (aka moobs) from drinking excessive amounts of soy milk.

"I was the guy that dabbled in soy milk, but now I've found out soy milk has enough estrogen for me to grow breasts," Piven told Scottish STV. "I had to put the soy milk down. It was a very confusing time."

Consumer and nutritional sciences expert Jill Hamilton-Reeves told AOL that she learned the 44-year-old Entourage actor was drinking 12 cups (about three-quarters of a gallon) of soy milk a day. "That means he was taking in approximately 360 milligrams of isoflavones a day," Hamilton-Reeves said. "And isoflavones are what people generally believe to be responsible for any effects in male reproductive hormones."

Perhaps someone needs a lesson in moderation. -- Gina DiNunno
