Well, the basic idea behind it is that it is material from his home planet... and on his own planet, he *isn't* a superhero... he's just normal. So, being around material similar to himself can take away his special powers. Now, of course there is a lot more to it through different Superman storylines, but that is the closest I can get to "why." ...
