Five major hazards of eating tofu in men

1, eat more tofu will hurt the kidney

Under normal conditions, after the plant protein that people eat into the body is metabolized, most of them become nitrogenous wastes and are excreted by the kidneys. When people reach middle age, the ability of the kidneys to excrete waste decreases. If you do not pay attention to your diet and consume large amounts of tofu, excessive intake of plant protein will inevitably increase the amount of nitrogen-containing waste generated in the body and increase the burden on the kidney. This is not conducive to the body. health.

2, harmful to sperm

A preliminary study by a British scientist laboratory found that a phytochemical in soybeans may be harmful to sperm. Experiments have shown that genistein, which mimics the action of estrogen, affects the sperm of mice, whereas human sperm is more sensitive to genistein than mouse sperm. "Thus, a small amount of this chemical can destroy male sperm. When the sperm swims to the egg, the sperm is "depleted" and loses fertility.

3, will promote gout attack

Tofu contains more purines, patients with gout abnormal metabolism, gout patients, and patients with elevated blood uric acid concentrations, eat more tofu easily lead to gout attack.

4, easily lead to iodine deficiency

The saponin contained in the soybeans that make tofu will accelerate the excretion of iodine in the body. Long-term excessive consumption of tofu can easily cause iodine deficiency, leading to iodine deficiency disorders.

5, leading to arteriosclerosis

Soy products contain extremely rich methionine, which can be converted to cysteine ​​by the action of enzymes. It can damage endothelial cells in the arterial wall, allowing cholesterol and triglycerides to deposit on the arterial wall, causing arteriosclerosis to form.

From this we can see that eating tofu is not necessarily intended to be healthy, and it may also lead to the occurrence of some diseases. In particular, male friends will also injure the kidneys and kill sperm, so be careful.
