Soy is being used more and more often in everyday products. While many vegetarians, vegans and otherwise nutrition-conscious individuals are thrilled about this fact, others, especially those with fertility issues, are becoming wary of what seems to be a soy overload.
The problem is that soy can “mimic” the female hormones. And some researchers have found that this is causing a boost in infertility in both men and women.
So should you quit drinking or eating soy? Although there are no definitive answers, it’s a good question to ask your reproductive health specialist.

Soy is the lesser evil here. The huge amount of plastics we are exposed to in our lives, contain xenoestrogens, much more stronger and persistent than weak soy estrogens.
I believe that reduced fertility in developed nations is due partly to the prominence of pre-cooked/pre-made items in plastic containers. Developing nations, while not as favorable in terms of nutrition, have less exposure to plastics (e.g. water bottles) and thus have a higher fertility.
