Fragile Fertility

I will not speculate as to the causes but he question we all should be asking is what might be causing the alarming decrease in the average sperm count of men worldwide.

Decrease in sex? Or what have we stopped doing as men? Or what have we started doing that isn't the norm?

Could it be down to a hormonal imbalance from widespread endocrine disruptors, poor diet, lack of exercise, food additives, etc. All these can cause lowered libido across the board even if your wife is a hottie.

Continuing on the endocrine disruptors from the herbicide atrazine in the food supply. It's in everything you eat that's produced and processed in big agriculture. It binds to the leydig cells and sertoli cells in your testes and shuts the cells off that produce testosterone and sperm. Explains the increase in trans men everywhere. It's biologically depleted testosterone from atrazine which is found in surface runoff and public drinking water at biologically active levels. They've chemically castrated the male sex organs. Atrazine is banned in Switzerland where it's manufactured but is used all over the US and in many countries in the world as an herbicide. We have to ban this substance and other endocrine disruptors.

From a study in PubMed central by Hayes TB, Khoury V, Narayan A, Nazir M, Park A, Brown T, Adame L, Chan E, Buchholz D, Stueve T, Gallipeau S. Atrazine induces complete feminization and chemical castration in male African clawed frogs,

Atrazine-exposed males were both demasculinized (chemically castrated) and completely feminized as adults. Ten percent of the exposed genetic males developed into functional females that copulated with unexposed males and produced viable eggs. Atrazine-exposed males suffered from depressed testosterone, decreased breeding gland size, demasculinized/feminized laryngeal development, suppressed mating behavior, reduced spermatogenesis, and decreased fertility. These data are consistent with effects of atrazine observed in other vertebrate classes. The present findings exemplify the role that atrazine and other endocrine-disrupting pesticides likely play in global amphibian declines.

According to the Zerohedge article quoting Statista's Martin Armstrong, a research paper in the Oxford Academic has revealed a 51 percent fall between 1973 and 2018 - from 101 million sperm per milliliter of sperm to just 49 million.

Commenting on the decline, lead author of the study, Hagai Levine, said "I think this is another signal that something is wrong with the globe and that we need to do something about it" adding:

"I think it’s a crisis, that we better tackle now, before it may reach a tipping point which may not be reversible”.

Something needs to be done for our continuous survival.

You know what to do.

See you tomorrow!
