Men’s Sperm Count Is in a Rapid Free Fall

‘An international study has found that men’s sperm count is in rapid decline in Western industrialized countries.
Conducted by a team of international scientists, the study found that sperm counts fell by more than half in the last four decades. The scientists screened more than 7,000 studies and then analyzed 185 studies that included the sperm count of about 43,000 men between 1973 and 2011 in North America, Australia, Europe, and New Zealand.
The scientists’ findings are concomitant with recent data that show a decline in the U.S. birth rate—the fertility rate in 2016 was 62 births per 1,000 women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The study, which is the most comprehensive analysis conducted on the subject, confirmed the findings of previous research that found similar results. The rapid plummeting of sperm counts suggest that the issue will continue on its current trajectory.’
