Widespread male infertility sweeping the globe
by Ethan A. Huff, staff writer
(NaturalNews) Nearly 20 years ago, Danish scientists first broke the
news to the world that men from Western countries seem to be slowly
becoming infertile. Recent research seems to back this up as well, with
average sperm counts having dropped to half of what they were 50 years
ago.
According to reports, nearly 20 percent of men between the ages of 18 and 25 have sperm counts that are abnormally low. To put this
in perspective, consider the fact that in the 1940s, men had an average
of about 100 million sperm cells per millimeter of semen (m/ml). Today,
the average is around 60m/ml. Those among the 20 percent with abnormal
levels have less than 20m/ml.
So what is the cause behind decreasing sperm counts? Realistically, there is probably more than just
one cause. Environmental toxins, synthetic food and water additives,
and estrogenic substances in food are all likely culprits.
"It's most likely a reflection of the fact that many environmental and
lifestyle changes over the past 50 years are inherently detrimental to
sperm production," explained Professor Richard Sharpe, a fertility
research expert at the Medical Research Council, in a U.K. report.
But what scientists believe may be the biggest cause of poor semen quality
in men has more to do with what their mothers were exposed to during
pregnancy, than what the men themselves are exposed to throughout their
lifetimes.
A case in point is the disastrous chemical accident that occurred in 1976 in Seveso, Italy. The incident caused the highest
known human exposure to toxic chemical dioxins. It was later revealed
that pregnant women who were exposed to the chemical during that time
bore male children who ended up having poor sperm counts.
Other studies also seem to lend credence to the idea that lifelong sperm
counts are determined during the early stages of male fetal development.
Interference with the Sertoli cells, which are responsible for proper
sperm development during fetal development, can lead to lifelong sperm
production problems in males.
"Maternal-lifestyle factors in pregnancy can have quite substantial effects on sperm counts in sons in
adulthood, and the most logical mechanism by which this could occur is
via reducing the number of Sertoli cells," explained Professor Sharpe.
In other words, prenatal exposure to toxic chemicals is a serious threat
to male health, which ultimately threatens the existence of mankind.

Greg, some of these links appear to be broken but I was able to read the one about the birth control vaccine. Yuk, I don't know why women would take chances with that. I have seen a few shows on the 'educational' channels like Nat Geo about this but of course they never mention vaccines. If History Channel does a show on this you can bet they will blame it on global warning.
PatriotHorse, the estrogen also causes girls to reach puberty at younger ages which is harmful too. No wonder there is so much infertility now.
