Harvard scientists have discovered a link to improved pregnancy.
According to the study published in the Endocrine Society’s Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, eating soy foods boosted a woman’s chances of getting pregnant by 50%.
To arrive at this conclusion, the researchers looked at data from 239 women undergoing IVF to compare pregnancy rates, levels of BPA in their urine and how much soy they ate.
Based on the findings of the study, it appears that soy reduces the negative effect of Bisphenol A (BPA), a harmful chemical found in plastics including water bottles and food containers which is believed to have adverse effects on fertility.
If you are trying to get pregnant, especially women undergoing fertility treatments, eating more soy should be considered.
