Abstract
Soybean is a nutrient commonly consumed by Asians, brought to Turkey from the Far East and cultivated. Many processed products containing soybean as the raw material are available as human and animal food. Soy and soy-based products occupy an important place in daily basic nutrition and food supplements. Since it contains many food elements important for human and animal health, soy has become the main source of nutrition in necessary situations. Due to its significant vitamin, mineral and protein content, its consumption in America has raised rapidly.The aims of this review are to explain reproductive toxicity of soy and soy-based products.
