Professor Sargel of the Children's Hospital of Cincinnati in the United States even declared: "The real man starts with soy."

Professor Sacher pointed out that research shows that drinking a cup of soy milk a day can reduce the risk of prostate cancer in men by 30%; drinking two cups can reduce the risk by 70%.

Fourth, eating soy can also prevent osteoporosis. Dr. James Anderson, who studies soy foods at the University of Kentucky, believes that some men have doubts about soy products, mainly because soy is rich in isoflavones, an estrogen analog. However, a recent experiment in the United States showed that soy consumption in daily life will not cause men to experience atrophy and breast growth, so there is no need to worry.
