what people should be asking is WHY are the infertility rates so high?

until that question is answered, buying a distiller is a seriously good idea.

I bought one 4 years ago, and let’s just say I’m glad I did.

Well, there are the obvious problems - scar tissue from STDs, and bodies ravaged by years of chemical-abortifacient [birth control pill] use and surgical abortions. [Also there's this weird evidence which indicates that sperm counts might be declining.]

But I think that far and away the biggest problem here is that "professional" women buy into the myth that "you can have it all" and try to put off their childbearing into their mid-30s, which is when a woman's fertility tends to drop off a cliff as she heads towards menopause.

Best time for a woman to make babies is in her teens and twenties - in general, when looking at the population as a whole, fertility just plummets to more or less nothing at all after the age of about 35.

Women waiting to have children is the primary culprit.

Fertility just doesn't turn off like a clock swith at menopause. Fertility steadlity declines as a woman ages. I saw a study years ago (can't remember where) that showed that by the age of 30 a significant percentage (can't remember the exact number) of women were effectivly infertile. By 35 over 50% were.

I saw this in the early '80s and remember being shocked by what a huge number it was. I can remember thinking that I should have gone into medicine and become a fertility doctor, because in a few years all those career women that put off having kids till after they started a career (and after they turned 30) would create a huge demand for fertility doctors.

And it did.
