1. Myth: Men can't drink soy milk, because soy milk contains estrogen, and men will have feminine characteristics such as breast development, no beard and sissy. There is also a saying that the number of sperm in men who drink soy milk will decrease, and soy milk will kill sperm!

Truth: Soybean milk was originally a very common and common food, but in recent years, there have been more and more statements about the harm of soybean milk, which makes people panic. I have just discussed whether women will get breast cancer if they drink soy milk, and the question that "men will become feminine and soy milk will kill sperm" is coming again. But in fact, the accusation that soybean milk can make men feminine is unreasonable, and the role of spermicide has not been confirmed. Men, if you want to drink soy milk, it's okay to drink it.

second, the phytohormones in soybean milk make men feminine?

whether plant hormones can feminize men has been analyzed before. Because the biological activity of phytoestrogen is only one thousandth of that of drug estrogen, it is impossible to reverse the hormone balance and affect the male sexual characteristics or the normal development of boys as long as the dosage is not large.

Soybean isoflavone is the main phytohormone in soybean milk, and its content is not high. In 211, the State Key Laboratory of Food Science and Technology of Nanchang University measured 51 samples of 11 kinds of common bean foods in daily life. It was found that the content of soybean isoflavones in soybean milk was less than 1 μ g/ml, and soybean milk powder was less than 1 μ g/g. Drinking a cup of 2 ml soybean milk only took 2 mg of soybean isoflavones.

third, soybean milk kills sperm?

The view that soybean milk kills sperm and affects reproductive capacity originated from some animal experiments. Some animal experiments have found that animals fed with soybean food have decreased fertility and testosterone. This result prompted later researchers to carry out population research.

A study published in the journal Fertility and Sterility in p>29 also came to the opposite conclusion. The researchers compared the sperm quantity and vitality of men with different diets, and found that the sperm quantity and vitality of those who ate high-fat foods such as meat for a long time decreased.

In view of the diversity of research results, in 21, researchers from Geneva Medical College reviewed and analyzed the effects of soybeans and phytohormones on male reproductive health. The researchers believe that although some animal experiments and cell experiments have found that phytoestrogens can affect reproductive function, the existing population studies can not draw the conclusion that phytoestrogens are harmful to male reproduction.

Generally speaking, there is not enough research to prove that soybean milk can kill sperm or affect male fertility.

Third, soybean milk can actually care for men

In fact, eating some soybeans properly may be beneficial to men.

Many studies have found that regular consumption of soybean isoflavones can reduce the risk of prostate cancer. A study published in the Journal of Nutrition in October, 27 showed that soybean protein intake can reduce the expression of androgen receptor in male prostate < P > Conclusion: The rumor is shattered. Isoflavones contained in soybean are phytoestrogens, but their activity is low, so it is impossible to affect male sexual characteristics and feminize men. At present, there is not enough research to prove that soybean milk kills sperm or affects male reproductive ability; Epidemiological studies have found that drinking soy milk and eating soy products in moderation is beneficial to prevent prostate cancer and other diseases. In a word, men can drink soy milk completely.
