PSA: Soy may not be as healthy as they say it is

StrawberryAlarmClock · June 2010

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=soybean-fertility-hormone-isoflavones-genistein I have a huge uterine fibroid that caused all sorts of problems with fertility and pregnancy. Even now, 3mo pp, my uterus won't go back behind my pubic bone and I look like I'm still pg. I wish I had known about the dangers of soy a long time ago! I'm trying to get my vegan friend to ease up but she says Asian women live on soy and conceive just fine. Well, a new study says that green tea extract may fight fibroids and the Asian diet is heavy in fresh green tea (which she dislikes). I hope this psa can prevent someone from going through what we did!

Eating large amts of anything can be bad for you. Especially processed foods!

Additionally, I don't remember where I read it, but I have also heard that men whose diet is high in soy products will likely have a lower sperm count than counterparts whose diet is less soy-intense.
