The harm of eating too much tofu
1. Promote arteriosclerosis
Soybean products are rich in methionine, which can be converted into cysteine by enzymes. It will damage the endothelial cells of the arterial wall, make cholesterol and triglycerides deposit on the arterial wall, and lead to the formation of arteriosclerosis.
2. Promote gout attack
Tofu contains more purines, and gout patients with abnormal purine metabolism and patients with increased blood uric acid concentration can easily lead to gout attacks.
3. Lead to iodine deficiency
Soybeans that make tofu contain saponin, which will accelerate the excretion of iodine in the body. Long-term excessive consumption of tofu can easily lead to iodine deficiency, leading to iodine deficiency disorders.
4. Increase the burden on the kidneys
Under normal circumstances, protein, a plant that people eat in the body, undergoes metabolism, and finally most of it becomes nitrogen-containing waste, which is excreted by the kidneys. When people reach old age, the ability of kidney to excrete waste decreases. At this time, if you don't pay attention to diet, eat a lot of tofu and eat too much plant protein, it will inevitably increase the nitrogen-containing waste generated in the body, increase the burden on the kidney, which is not conducive to your health.
5. Harmful to sperm
A preliminary study in the laboratory of British scientists found that a phytochemical in soybean may be harmful to sperm. According to reports, studies by British experts show that genistein, which can imitate the effect of estrogen, affects the sperm of mice. Experts said at a fertility conference: "Human sperm is more sensitive to genistein than mouse sperm." In the experiment, Fraser found that a small amount of this chemical can destroy male sperm, which will "run out" and lose fertility when the sperm swims to the egg. The effects on sperm found in the laboratory may not be directly related to real life. But a doctor at a university said that it is worrying whether these chemicals will affect mature sperm.
6. Women trying to conceive should eat soy products carefully.
Experts also say that if women eat soybeans and other foods rich in genistein, it may have a greater impact on men's fertility, because this chemical is likely to have an impact on sperm when it enters women's bodies and makes them pregnant. Experts explained: "It is probably more dangerous for mothers to be exposed to this substance than for fathers."
7. Cause indigestion
Tofu is rich in protein. Once eaten in excess, these protein will accumulate in the human body, causing indigestion, which will lead to abdominal distension, diarrhea and other uncomfortable symptoms.
