This negative attention is unfortunate since soy is a naturally low in saturated fat, low cholesterol food that helps support healthy weight & metabolic function.
Many worry soy may cause infertility and increased estrogen in men & an increased risk of developing breast cancer in women.
According to studies by The American Society of Reproductive Medicine & The Biochemical Society and the Medical Research Society, the phytoestrogens found in soy had no adverse effects male fertility or estrogen levels. Additionally, “Soy isoflavones consumption was inversely associated with risk of breast cancer incidence”, according to a study by the Department of Nutrition and Food Hygiene, School of Radiation Medicine and Public Health, Soochow University, Suzhou, China.
