The study was carried out at the Harvard School of Public Health, and looked at the diets of 99 men in total, with all attending a fertility clinic to have their sperm tested.
The men were split into four groups depending on the amount of soy foods they consumed. What they found was that there was a major difference in sperm concentration in regards to men who consumed high amounts of soy, to low amounts of soy.
This led to the conclusion that eating soy foods caused a reduced sperm count, and male infertility.
Scientisits believe that this effect was seen because of chemicals in soy known as isoflavones.
