Foods containing soy may reduce sperm count in the semen of men, say U.S. researchers. Researchers have studied the relationship between semen quality and soybeans that contains the female hormone phytoestrogen. Scientists have found that men foods that consume soy, sperm concentration that is much lower than those products which do not have to contain soy. Dr. Jorge Chavarro pointed out that the use of animals with plant estrogens to a violation of their reproductive and infertility causes, but not found a similar effect in humans. The study involved 99 men who applied in the Clinic for Reproductive Medicine 2000 to 2006. Participants consumed 15 types of products containing soy. Researchers surveyed men what. Foods they ate, because the content of soybeans is different, then divided into groups according to the level of consumption of soy The results showed that participants from a very big difference in sperm concentration on the consumption of soy products. The more and more men were eating soy products, the lower the concentration of sperm is had. According to Dr. Jorge Chavarro, products with soy, lead probably have a negative impact on male fertility and even then can lead to infertility, but to exact conclusions and a statement on the matter to make, more research is needed.
