Research into falling sperm counts finds 'alarming' levels of chemicals in male urine samples
Euronews ^

Posted on 06/18/2022 6:07:42 AM PDT by FarCenter

Scientists searching for the causes of falling sperm counts are getting a clearer picture of the role played by chemical pollutants - and it’s not a pretty one.

A study of urine samples from nearly 100 male volunteers has uncovered "alarming" levels of endocrine disruptors known to reduce human fertility.

Cocktails of chemicals such as bisphenols and dioxins, which are believed to interfere with hormones and affect sperm quality, were present at levels up to 100 times those considered safe.

The median exposure to these chemicals was 17 times the levels deemed acceptable.

"Our mixture risk assessment of chemicals which affect male reproductive health reveals alarming exceedances of acceptable combined exposures," wrote the authors of the study, published on Thursday in the journal Environment International.

Don’t use plastic, especially in the microwave.
Eat food that goes bad, essentially the perimeter of the grocery store.
Get a water filter.

Thats it - no more second helpings of paracetamol.

Not that it matter so much now, but I wish the article had gone into where such chemicals are typically found.

How about PFAS from muzzles?

Inquiring minds want to know...

It’s by design.

Thus the rise of soy boys and trannies.

In other words, toxins in males may be destroying “toxic masculinity.”

Bisphenols are in plastics.
Paracetamol is Acetaminophen(Tylenol).

Researchers from Notre Dame, Oregon State University, North Carolina State University and Michigan State University used PIGE testing and other techniques to study a small sample of face masks — only nine in total, including four different types: surgical, single-use disposable masks, N95 masks and reusable cloth masks. One of the masks was specifically marketed to firefighters.

Five out of the nine masks contained some PFAS, but most levels were low enough that the results did not cause concern.

The highest amounts were detected in multi-layered masks made for firefighters. That could add to the risk of exposure firefighters face following studies that found significant amounts of PFAS in personal protective equipment. The chemicals are also known to shed off gear, materials and surfaces — and can be inhaled, ingested or absorbed into the skin.

Of course the covid “jabs” have nothing to do with reduced human fertility. /sarc

Come on folks, we need excuses, lots of them because people are dumb and will believe anything as long as the news and TV tell them so.

It’s from plastics, coatings, pesticides, chemical industry pollution, etc.

It turns out that civilization is self-limiting.

That is what this article states. I believe all these things are true, but it is missing far more of the real story that is developing and is also a good cover for other things affecting fertility recently added into the decline.

Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bisphenol! No, we will not let you go (Let him go!)

“…It sure COULD’NT be from the “vaccines” they’ve been pushing for the past 2 years…. Oh, no!…”

One of the biggest fallouts from the Covid pandemic is the increase in the number of people who suffer from paranoia and irrational thought. Seems like every pre-mature death or serious medical condition is now attributable to the covid vaxx without regard to other possibilities even when the other possibilities seem more likely than not.

Indeed, if you had bothered to read the article, you should have noted that data used in the study is from 2009 - 2010.

Testosterone levels have been dropping for a hundred years.

I believe I agreed with that in my post. I would also assume that women have the same chemicals in their eggs too because we all use the same things.

There are probably numerous reasons for lower T and infertility issues not listed in this article. It is also quite possible that newly introduced to the system “pollutants” are also going to make fertility issues much worse.
