The Importance of Healthy Sperm
Research is pointing to the fact that there is a marked decline in sperm count from the early 1990. One study argued that the average sperm count has declined by as much as 29% in 10 years (comparing figures between 1989and 2002)
Modern lifestyle has been shown to be a significant factor and damage caused smoking and chemicals found in everday products such as plastic bottles, sun cream, deoderant and paint is significant.
Another area of focus is anti-androgens, found in products such as plastics, shampoo, soap.
These anti-adrogens are known to be absorbed by body fat and may cause abnormalities in human genital development including smaller scrotum and penis.
