Soy found to decrease sperm count

Harvard researchers discovered that men who eat 1/2 of a serving per day of soy-based foods could have their sperm count significantly decreased because of it. Wow! How about this scenario. You think you are feeding your child a healthy serving of soy milk or soy-based formula and know you find out that you could be seriously damaging their endocrine system, for life. What exactly is a xenoestrogen? Xenoestrogens are substances that act like estrogen in how they affect the body. Excess estrogen inside the body is linked to cancer and other horrible diseases. If you do not remember, HRT(estrogen) therapy is one example of a medical intervention that was actually more harmful than the disease/condition that it treated. You may have read that Bisphenol A is a xenoestrogen as described in our blog recently. You can read about this at msnbc, http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25833435/, and the Scientifc American blog http://www.sciam.com/blog/60-second-science/post.cfm?id=soy-vey-does-eating-tofu-lower-sper-2008-07-23. I read about this in research articles around 5-6 years ago and have been talking to parents about it ever since. However, most if not all parents are told by their pediatrician that soy-based foods are entirely safe. Hmmm! If possible, I will have the research article posted on the website www.b2hc.com by the weekend.
