New-Found Sperm Killer: The Soybean
With the hot trend of health preservation, whole grains are more and more popular among the people, especially the soybeans which becomes one of the most popular healthy food products, the rich protein contained in it is recognized as the high-quality protein needed by the human body.
However, a new scientific study has shown that some components of soybean can cause nil sperm count, thereby affecting the normal male reproductive function. Soy products such as soybean milk and soy yogurt which has been approved by many people have also proved that they can affect your sperm count.
Sheena Lewis, a professor of Reproductive Medicine. Queen's University in Belfast and the head of the research team, led the study on the relationship between soybean and male reproductive function. Researchers believe that the chemical constituents in soybeans can replace the function of estradiol, a kind of hormone, leading to a reduction in sperm count.
Lewis said: “The chemical composition in soybeans can reduce the number of sperm, which is a great concern to us. At present, we are preparing for the next step of research.”
Laurie Anderson, another member of the team, said: “Changes in estradiol levels in men not only affect sperm count but also may lead to structural abnormalities in male sexual organs such as the epididymis. Over time, it will lead to other diseases, such as testicular cancer.”
According to reporters, one in seven couples in Britain have fertility problems, and 40% of them are caused by male infertility. In fact, as early as April 15, 2003, the Daily Mail of Britain reported the astonishing results of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, the United States: ”the increasing consumption of soybeans in Britain may be responsible for the decline of male reproductive function, as well as much male sexual dysplasias. ”
Scientists believe that soybeans consumed by pregnant or breastfeeding women may endanger the reproductive function of male infants because some chemicals in soybeans are very similar to estradiol. In addition, other studies have found that hormone-like chemicals in soybeans may be associated with certain cancers, brain disorders, and abnormal infant development.
In the face of these findings, the Soybean Protein Association in Britain on behalf of the British soybean food processing industry said that there was no conclusive evidence that soybeans were harmful to human health. However, if the daily intake of soybean products exceeds a certain amount, it will have a certain impact on the sperm of men, so it is recommended that the number of times of eating soybean products should not exceed three times a week, about 100 grams each time.
A new study by the Harvard School of Public Health in the United States has once again made it clear that eating soy products every day can significantly reduce the number of sperm in men. The study was completed by Dr. Jorge Chavaro of the Harvard School of Public Health.
From 2000 to 2006, researchers followed 99 men. The results are surprising, men who eat soy products every day have only 41 million sperm per milliliter of semen, significantly lower than men who eat fewer soy products. It is understood that less than 20 million sperm per milliliter of semen belongs to low sperm concentration and infertility. In addition, this phenomenon is more evident in obese men.
Chavaro believes that soy products have adverse effects on the male reproductive system, especially sperm production. Soybean and its products are rich in isoflavone phytoestrogens. If you take too much, it will naturally affect the level of male hormones in men, resulting in a series of adverse consequences.
When men suffer from sperm abnormalities, go to the hospital in time for examination and timely treatment is really important. If sperm activity is low, non-liquefaction of semen, necrospermia and other sperm problems, which are mostly caused by some bad habits that make sperm living environment worse, such as long-term smoking, drinking and staying up late.
So if you want to get rid of the diseases, developing a healthy lifestyle is inevitable. Meanwhile, patients can also take natural medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill to treat. It is derived from nature and consists of a variety of natural herbs such as Angelica Sinensis, safflower and peach kernels. It can activate your blood circulation, clear heat and detoxify toxins. It can also alleviate various symptoms of patients and improve their self-immunity, thus curing the disease thoroughly.
