There has been much concern expressed about the consumption of soy protein by men. Supposedly, eating soy protein can reduce testosterone levels in men.
This claim doesn’t live up to scrutiny. Here’s the basis of the concern: One man, in one study, saw a significant reduction in testosterone. And he had a testosterone level 200% above normal. Here’s a link to that study. No need to run around like Chicken Little.
A more recent study found NO decrease in testosterone. Click here to read it.
So, one can make there own mind up. Personally, I think that the issue deserves more study before one avoids soy protein, and we should see if soy may have testosterone regulation benefits.
Also, there is no dispute about the heart benefits. The FDA has granted this health claim for soy: “25 grams of soy protein a day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.”
