Soy Foods Linked To Lower Sperm Count, Male Infertility
July 25, 2008

Washington (ChattahBox) - A new study published in the journal Human
Reproductioin has shown that soy foods have been linked to a lower
sperm count, and male infertility.

The study was carried out at the Harvard School of Public Health, and
looked at the diets of 99 men in total, with all attending a fertility
clinic to have their sperm tested.

The men were split into four groups depending on the amount of soy
foods they consumed. What they found was that there was a major
difference in sperm concentration in regards to men who consumed high
amounts of soy, to low amounts of soy.

This led to the conclusion that eating soy foods caused a reduced
sperm count, and male infertility.

Scientisits believe that this effect was seen because of chemicals in
soy known as isoflavones.
