This is an interesting source of medical information.

They seem to be very careful of their facts, including citing several studies on the prevelance of gyne and how the results varied between studies.  I was a bit surprised to see this line:

"In approximately 90% of patients, pubertal gynecomastia resolves spontaneously within several weeks to 3 years."

I wonder how this number was determined, but it would seem to be encouraging to those who ask if their condition will "go away".  With odds like that, it sure seems appropriate to give it a chance to happen.

Interesting. This article confirms that SOY is implicated in gynecomastia:

Various drugs are implicated in gynecomastia and can be classified into the following categories:

   * Estrogens or drugs with estrogenlike activity such as diethylstilbestrol, digitalis, phytoestrogens, and estrogen-contaminated food and estrogen-containing cosmetics, which share a similar mechanism
