Press Release: Soy Won’t Destroy Your Sperm
Tofu, The Cheese of Asia
WASHINGTON — Here’s a revelation: Eating soy products won’t destroy your sperm. As a devout and virile vegan who consumes soy-based foods religiously, I could’ve already told you that. But, alas, who’s gonna trust the word of a Chinese guy these days?
A press release by the Soyfoods Association of North America has denounced a recent study by Dr. Jorge Chavarro which found eating soy products could have detrimental effects on a guy’s man seed.
To underscore their case, the Association points to a recent article in New Scientist in which Chavarro himself “speculates that his study found a link between soya and low sperm count because many of the participants were overweight or obese. Men with high levels of body fat produce more oestrogen than their slim counterparts.”
Additionally, the Association cites East Asian men as shining examples of the benefits of a soy-rich diet: “Generations of Asians have regularly consumed soyfoods without fertility disorders, and Asian countries have prodigiously produced very healthy, highly functioning children for centuries.”
So keep eating that tofu and overpopulating the world!

Wow, that is one weak industry rebuttal.
Fact is, soy contains 2 VERY POTENT phytoestrogens - daidzein and genistein.
And sorry, but Asian men are not the best example for the “safety” of soy here - as they’ve been plagued by stereotypes of small dix and femininity. Very possibly due to the ingestion of under-processed soy.
This is actually a very serious issue and I urge Asian MEN to only eat small amounts of highly-processed soy, if any at all.

Jurdan…
I guess that’s why there are over a billion chinese: because they have small dix and low sperm counts from consuming too much soy.

tiger, bro. you’ve gotta be careful about where you buy your soy products from.
the amerikkkan groceries get products that aren’t properly processed and that’s where all the bad chemicals cause problems.
you’ve got to get to chinatown or ranch99, or wherever asians prep the soy products.
they make it right and gets rid of the bad chemicals with the proper processing techniques.
