@livingwithalittleextra: Current projections, sperm counts of the median man are set to reach zero in 2045, That means half of all men would have zero viable sperm and the rest would have very close to zero.

Growing exposure to “everywhere chemicals” – the biphesnol-A (BPA), phthalates and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that can be found virtually everywhere, in pesticides, food containers and wraps, make-up and cosmetics, and even children’s and baby products such as bottles, cups and pacifiers. These toxins are endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), leading to real biological consequences such as increasing miscarriage rates, rising incidences of genital abnormalities among boys and puberty setting in far earlier for girls than in previous generations. “Chemicals in our environment and unhealthy lifestyle practices in our modern world are disrupting our hormonal balance, causing various degrees of reproductive havoc,” #infertility
