" Eating a half serving a day of soy-based foods could be enough to
significantly lower a man’s sperm count"

There are over 2 billion Chinese in China.  Do you think they don't
eat soy?

That's 1.3 billion Chinese.

. . . the real problem is not whether soy is inherently bad (after all,
people have been consuming plants with hormones for centuries) but that
no one is sure how much soy it is safe to consume. While Asians have
been consuming soy for centuries, there have been conflicting claims
about how much soy they consume. Nonetheless, if soy starts turning up
in everything from cereal to ice cream, we may begin consuming far
higher amounts than is normally found in the Asian diet, without any
real idea of the consequences. An related issue is that modern
preparation methods for soy products may increase the health risks. For
example, some companies use chemical hydrolization instead of
traditional fermentation methods to make soy sauce. It's something to
think about.

Billy,

What you suggest we do then?  Don't eat soy? Tell me.

My understanding is that it is used as a condiment a meal in Asia, not
the principal course. As the extract that I posted mentioned, it is the
sheer quantity of soy products (tofu) that are being offered for sale
that is the concern. Personally, I intend to continue using soy sauce
and occasionally eat other soy products. I haven't looked into this very
much but there seem to be multiple concerns from mimicking female
hormones to causing thyroid problems.

world.

If you're trying to be humorous or incisive, then you're doing fine at
embarrassing yourself. But your not that self conscious are you?

A companion or associate, especially an older friend who acts as a
patron, protector, or adviser.

(Noun) A person that is a close friend and will have your back no matter
what the situation.

You seem to be on a roll "cybercat". What are we to think if you ever
have something important to say? Or is that not a problem?

hahahaha! ;o)

Maybe it's a poor mans vasectomy or Catholic birth control.
