With soy, sperm count down begins!
October 29, 2007
You might be consuming soy considering it a rich source of protein. Of course, it?s. However, after knowing findings of a new study, your opinion might take a twist.
Till now, soy was being dubbed as a food that hits women fertility but this time a new study, covering around 100 men, has come out adding another chapter to it. It says that eating soy might also bring down sperm count in men.
As per the findings of this study, men with average soy food intake of 0.5 servings a day had 41 million sperm per milliliter less than their counterparts who consumed no soy at all. However, measured sperm motility and morphology were not affected by soy consumption in men.
How far latest findings are conclusive, very difficult to say at this time, as some studies have also come out refuting the theory which dubs soy as an anti-fertility diet. So, a bit tricky situation for soy-lovers!

THE WORLD’S BIGGEST DOG - HERCULES
October 23, 2007
Hercules: The World’s Biggest Dog Ever According to Guinness World Records
Hercules was recently awarded the honorable distinction of Worlds Biggest Dog by Guinness World Records. Hercules is an English Mastiff and who has a 38 inch neck and weighs 282 pounds.
With “paws the size of softballs” (reports the Boston Herald), the three-year-old monster is far larger and heavier than his breed’s standard 200lb. limit. Hercules owner Mr. Flynn says that Hercules weight is natural and not induced by a bizarre diet: “I fed him normal food and he just
“grew”… and grew. and grew. and grew.
Kell: Slightly Smaller, But the World’s Heaviest Dog Hercules’ sheer volume may have won him the Largest Dog world record, but the Heaviest Dog title still rests with Kell who weighed in at 286 pounds in August of 1999.
This English Mastiff, however, only has a 32-inch neck - far less than Hercules’ 38-incher. Think about that for a second though - 32 inches is a standard waist size for a man!
Proud owner Tom Scott said Kell is two years old and is expected to continue to grow for the next two years. Kell needs to be fed 100lb of beef every week, and drinks gallons of goats’ milk to stay healthy…
