If You Want To Have Kids, Avoid Soy Products

Friday, August 8, 2008

A can of Yeo's soy milk, poured into a glassImage via WikipediaIn my previous posts, I had talked about how surprising it was to me when I first discovered that soy products wasn't good for me, and then much later, about how clinical results seem to prove that the benefits of soy products were overhyped.

Now, it seems we have yet another reason. You may become impotent if you continue to consume large quantities of soy products. It was only after I started to seriously work out that some mistaken, but well-meaning friends told me that soy products contain lots of protein and will help in my workouts.

And I'm the kind of guy that doesn't take everything at face value, and did some research on my own, hence discovering that the conventional wisdom on soy was incorrect.

In fact, even as a kid, I didn't like soy products. I never liked tofu, or tau pok (dried tofu). I loved tau huey (soyabean in sweet syrup) though, but never really ate a lot of that. Most of the time I get my proteins from meat and milk now. That means, after a workout, I drink milk, and eat a meal heavy with meat products.
