Nuts may boost male fertility: study
Yahoo ^ | July 4, 2018

Posted on 07/04/2018 7:28:10 AM PDT by EdnaMode

Eating nuts "significantly" boosted the number and health of sperm in young men in a scientific trial, researchers said Wednesday.

The findings "support a beneficial role for chronic nut consumption in sperm quality," they said, but stressed the study participants were all healthy, apparently fertile men.

The potential benefits of nuts for men struggling with fertility have yet to be probed.

For the study, researchers recruited 119 men aged 18-35, who they divided into two groups.

One group ate 60 grammes of almonds, hazelnuts, and walnuts daily on top of their usual "western-style" diet, while the second group got no nuts.

After 14 weeks, the nut group "had significant improvements in their sperm count, vitality, motility (movement) and morphology (shape)" -- all associated with male fertility, said a statement.

"Moreover, the subjects in the nut group also showed a significant reduction in their levels of sperm DNA fragmentation, a parameter closely associated with male infertility."

I was going to ask "Do you say that as a male or a female" but then I opened you FR homepage.

So, let me reply by saying, it's funny to see how these millenials keep thinking that THEY are the ones who invented sex: I'm sure the female researchers thought it was quite a trick to get paid for examining men's nuts.

And, since this is July 4, a fitting quote from the musical 1776:

Nor did you get a bunch of government grants to help you make this discovery.

Scientific studies show that men without nuts have very low fertility.

We have always known this. General McAuliffe’s famous response to the German demand that he surrender Bastogne was “nuts.”
