CHICAGO - Eating a half serving a day of soy-based foods could be enough to significantly lower a man’s sperm count, U.S. researchers said on Wednesday.

The study is the largest in humans to look at the relationship between semen quality and a plant form of the female sex hormone estrogen known as phytoestrogen, which is plentiful in soy-rich foods.

You sure about that?

Red Meat Linked to Colon Cancer

"While these risks to overall health are not in the same league as the risk from smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity," said Thun, "these findings are important because red and processed meat are major components of the diet of many Americans, and because there is now substantial evidence that long-term high consumption increases the risk of colon cancer."

So, which is it? Low sperm count or colon cancer?

Less chance of unwanted pregnancy or painful, debilitating ass cancer.
Hmmm, tough choice...

Why should I care, at 70 I got no sperm county anyway. And besides I've had zero sperm count since my vacastomy 30 years ago.
