Soy reduces sperm count

Description:Among these men, 40 men were excluded from the statistical analysis because they did not provide a semen sample. To examine the association between soy food and isoflavone intake, we first calculated means and standard deviations of semen analysis parameters ejaculate volume, total sperm count, sperm concentration, sperm motility and sperm morphology for each of the four intake categories of soy foods and isoflavones. Increased Estrogen Production in Obese Men. Thus, we examined the association of soy foods and isoflavones intake with semen quality parameters. This left 99 men with complete dietary and semen analysis data available for analyses. Chapman also points out that the study was "very small and fails to acknowledge the large normal variation in sperm counts," and that in Asia, where soy foods have been eaten for generations, there haven't been increased medical reports of fertility disorders. Chavarro's team found that men who ate the most soy had 41 million fewer sperm per milliliter of semen compared with men who did not eat soy foods.
