According to recent reports from multiple media outlets in the United States, a new study once again clarifies that consuming soy products every day can significantly reduce men's sperm count.

This study tracked 99 men from 2000 to 2006. The research results are surprising: Men who consume soy products every day have only 41 million sperm per milliliter of semen, significantly lower than men who consume less soy products. It is understood that if the number of sperm per milliliter of semen is less than 20 million, it belongs to low sperm concentration and is prone to infertility. In addition, this connection is more evident in obese men.
Soybean products have adverse effects on the male reproductive system, especially on sperm production. Soybeans and their products contain abundant isoflavone phytoestrogens. If consumed excessively, it will naturally affect the levels of male hormones in the body, leading to a series of adverse consequences.
There have also been male experts in China who have suggested that consuming too much soy products can affect the number of male sperm. Men who frequently consume soy products have a 3% higher risk of developing erectile dysfunction than those who do not. 46 times.
However, according to a report from the UK, the Soybean Protein Association, which represents the UK soybean food processing industry, stated that there is currently no conclusive evidence to suggest that soybeans are harmful to human health, and the daily consumption of soybeans does not pose a risk of increased estrogen in men. Pan Lianjun believes that consuming soy products in moderation is the best way to avoid health risks for men. The so-called "moderate" refers to eating less than 3 times a week, each time around 100 grams.
