Lowers Fertility?
-In a preliminary study done in 2008 at Harvard, evidence suggests that soy products may decrease sperm count. In a study done with 99 men, all consuming soy products daily, most men had around 41 million less sperm than before. The results were not statistically significant at there level of study but it did raise the question.
My take.
- It would make sense for soy products to decrease sperm count (eaten on a daily basis of course) when you consider this from an evolutionary standpoint. Males who don't get enough meat would obviously be considered weaker than the men who had access to meat because those men were strong enough or smart enough to acquire it. Also, doesn't sperm contain a lot of protein, maybe soy just doesn't have enough.
Meh, I'm not a science major but I don't think anyone should be worried about this in the least. Don't guys our age want to decrease their sperm count? Just saying. And it seems like every day we're finding out something else is bad for us. I say just stick to your basic food groups- yay food pyramid.

Haha. I drink soy milk every day because I cant drink regular milk, but I guess it doesnt concern me much since I'm a girl.
