The ongoing global drop in male fertility may be associated with saturated fat intake and lack of sufficient fruits and vegetables.

Why is high dietary intake of saturated fat associated with reduced semen quality? What’s the connection? Sex steroid hormones in meat, eggs, and dairy may help explain the link between saturated fat intake and declining sperm counts. That’s the subject of my next video, Dairy Estrogen and Male Fertility.
More on male infertility in my videos Fukushima and Radioactivity in Seafood (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fukushima-and-radioactivity-in-seafood/) and Male Fertility and Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/male-fertility-and-diet/). <
Diet also has a role to play in sexual dysfunction:

1 in 3 is pretty high imo.
That's nuts 😉
That's why vegans should be very careful when having sex if they don't want children !
This is not good for vegans who don't want children XD
In the media, not long ago I heard: "A study recently announced by researchers from the Loma Linda Medical School found that men living either a vegan or vegetarian diet had lower sperm counts than men who regularly consumed red meat."
Conflicting studies like this make me confused and its sometimes hard to "say" which studies have the right conclusions.
Could you please comment on this, thank you.
There was just a study saying vegetarian men have worse sperm count:

I was waiting on you to comment on the recent 7th Day Adventist study which got some headlines, Dr. Greger.
The consumption of GMOs can also have this effect on men. Then there is sewage water that's recycle back into the water supply and the drugs found in it like anti pregnancy drugs that men consume unwittingly.
Dang! I wish I had a hold of this 2 days ago when The Young Turks reported that they had a study from Loma Linda University that said there was some evidence that vegetarians had lower sperm counts than omnivores. Although I knew that wasn't true I didn't have any info and left a comment on how it was a study probably funded by the meat and dairy people, which is probably true.
Woot! Stop reproducing. You aren't special enough to continue polluting this planet with more destructive humans. Seriously.
Love when he says, "we didn't know…..until now!" 😉
Saturated fat intake is associated with as much as a 65% reduction in sperm count.

Eat your fruits and vegetables, fellas.
Yeah I love this video, I told my dad to much fat isn't good for you
I don’t write any reviews.This time, Prolargent 5×5 Extreme has saved my marriage. And my wife is so happy now.
A study found that men who supplemented with zinc and folic acid for 6-7 months had a 75% increase in sperm count. Oysters are and beef are the best source of zinc.
And remember…a correlation doesn't mean the cause, ex…this associated with this does nessesarly mean its the cause.
Bel video!
The herbal Prolargentsize capsules give you the best semen production!!! Take the pills without masturbating for some days and you will be amazed. Am completely happy with this product. We have a baby problem because of me. I am happy now. I found it in the internet. Thanks to Prolargentsize
Hi Dr Greger, I was wondering how this study's findings apply to someone who has had an orchidopexy (as I know this may also significantly lower sperm count)?
Dr Greger please make videos on female fertility and diet I'd really like to know if there's a link!/ recomendations!
Ok, we as a nation have gone low fat crazy! and the decline in sperm count has mirrored this so I'd argue that saturated fat was actually a important part in sperm production.
Hey, it's just as simple as making those love chemicals dance within your body. Try looking for a supplement, or just use the booster mentioned in Ava Fortsmire's website.
I love that so far 8 people, watched the doctor show studies, and real science, and decided they "don't like it". Lol.
Anyone knows why my sperm count went down since I went WFPB watching Zinc intake? I do resistance training too 🙁
