Soybeans are soy products. The harmful effects on the body of men if they eat too much soybeans are:

1. Promote arteriosclerosis: Soy products are extremely rich in methionine, which can converted to cysteine. It damages the endothelial cells of the arterial wall, causing cholesterol and triglycerides to deposit on the arterial wall, leading to arteriosclerosis.

2. Promote gout attacks: Tofu contains a lot of purine. Gout patients with abnormal purine metabolism and patients with increased blood uric acid concentration may easily cause gout attacks if they eat more tofu.

3. Lead to iodine deficiency: The saponins contained in soybeans used to make tofu will accelerate the excretion of iodine in the body. Long-term excessive consumption of tofu can easily cause iodine deficiency and lead to iodine deficiency disease.

4. Increase the burden on the kidneys: Under normal circumstances, the plant proteins that people eat into the body undergo metabolism, and finally most of them become nitrogen-containing waste and are excreted by the kidneys. As people age, the ability of the kidneys to excrete waste decreases. At this time, if you do not pay attention to your diet, eat a lot of tofu, and consume too much plant-based protein, it will inevitably increase the nitrogenous waste produced in the body, increase the burden on the kidneys, and be detrimental to your health. .

5. Harmful to sperm: Preliminary research in the laboratory of British scientists found that a phytochemical in soybeans may be harmful to sperm. British researchers say a phytochemical found in soybeans may be harmful to sperm and affect male fertility, Reuters reported.
