Study started and showed decline starting in the 1960s. Vaccines?
1960--introduction of the birth control pill.
Not sure how that effects a man’s sperm count tho.
Simple. Women on BC urinate, flush toilet, water ends up in treatment facility or local waterway due to storm runoff. Man cooks, bathes, brushes his teeth, and eats fish from said water filled with synthetic female hormones...
that's a tiny influence compared to plasticizers which are endocrine disruptors and mimic estrogen. plastics and vinyls started the great replacement of glass and metals (tin, aluminum) in the 1960s.
Ah. Thanks for the info, fren! Makes sense. A multi-pronged assault on reproduction, or death by a thousand cuts.
"Anything that effects the mother in the first trimester effects the development of the fetus." So, women were encouraged to go on the Pill for everything, and then would go off it and get pregnant. The first pills were estrogen, but then transitioned to progesterone. There were no warnings to women to allow their systems to readjust for a year or so. However, their bodies were still influenced by the synthetic hormones.
The Carlson study of 1992 (link below) provided foundational evidence for the decline in mens sperm count that continues to this day. Later studies like to imply individual habits such as smoking but there are other theories suggesting chemicals in plastic water bottles when subjected to long term storage a heat, release a chemical that impacts perm count.
A book by Dr Leonard Sax called “Boys Adrift” describes these circumstances in great detail. Many say the decline is intentionally induced.
