It's not pseudo-science, it's a genuine problem (lower birth rates etc). |
If you're going to make this sort of claim please back it up with research. Like any food consumption too much of anything is bad for you. The "study" that's the basis of this claim is from a study of one male subject and experiments done on male lab rats, both which proved inconclusive results.
As an Asian man who grew up eating Tofu, soymilk, soy noodles, soy bean pastes, soy sauce and numerous soy products, I haven't even heard of this claim until recently. Soy is a vital staple of our diet in south east asia due to the lack of farm land for growing other protein sources for thousands of years. Not to mention the whole "feminisation" of masculine men is an outdated concept of judging modern men.
