Hi everybody,

I have a question about the fillings used in many of the supplements
that we eat, life extensionists or not. One of the most common filling
material is soybean oil. What I am wondering is whether this poses any
danger for human fertility. Phytoestrogens from the soybean have been
implicated in such matters and are suspected of messing up both the
male and female reproductive systems (for men they can lower the
quality and quantity of sperm). My question is if there is a real
danger for people that eat a lot of supplememtns. Does soybean oil
contain phytoestrogens? Is soybean oil perhaps cleaned from other
chemicals and thus safe in this respect? Are the amounts enough,
aggregated over several formulations simultaneously consumed, to lower
male fertility or mess up a womans hormonal cycle? I think these
questions are important for all of us that eat many supplements,
especially given the fact that the fertility of modern westerners is
steadily declining.

Thanks in advance
