“Where did all the “peak sperm.” go?”
New study says:
50 year trend shows one in five men sub fertile

I have maintained an aquarium with guppies for about 40 years now. The one fact I know is the fish population changes rapidly and upon occasion all but a few have died almost over night when the tank hit’s a tipping point.
Not so different then a bee colony collapse (1) when the hive looses too many bees there are not enough to do the jobs for the bee hive to survive an in a short amount of time the bee colony doesn’t exist anymore.
With over 7 billion people on this planet Earth I can see a possible tipping point happening if something doesn‘t change for the better. Many are talking about population control. Just like the fish tank I see the populations hitting a tipping point and a new starting point beginning if nothing changes. The really question: Are we looking at the signs that really matter?
There is a trend going on right now that men are loosing their ability to produce sperm. If this trend continues we will not have a population challenge we may end up with a survival of the human race challenge.
Male sperm count falling fast:
Protecting our “assets” is important. Knowing what is a true asset is the question. I wrote an article about the dangers of having low or no sperm and the increased chance of cancer (2) I feel this is such an important topic that the human race depends on protecting reproductive assets even with the bulging Earths population of 7 billion and growing. The daily Beast (3) reports on the dramatic changes in men’s sperm count over the last 50 years. The European Science Foundation reported that one in five men age 18 to 25 is “subfertile” with the quality and number of sperm dropping in the developed world. In 1992 another study reported that sperm counts since 1938 had dropped by 1 percent. The newest discover that the health of the sperm helps to dictate the health of the child may just make the sperm quality or “peak sperm” a priority. If humanity looses our “peak sperm.” in developed countries how will that affect the world population?
Environmental factors affecting sperm quantity and quality:
The environmental factors affecting sperm run wide in modern society. According to the CDC (2, 4) the sperm may be affected by heavy use of alcohol, tobacco, illicit substances like marijuana, cocaine or steroids, environmental exposures, pesticides, and dioxins, hobbies that involve refinishing furniture, repairing cars, painting; building models, or using strippers, degreasers, or non-water-based glues or paints can expose the patient to organic solvents. Hobbies that involve painting, making pottery, making stained glass, or handling, or some medications.
Final words:
The question I keep asking myself is our population explosion being pushed by developing countries loosing an asset of “peak sperm.”? The evidence is mounting that for 50 years there is a change happening that is creating a problem. How big of a problem only time will tell. Will it be able to be corrected? Like any problem taking care of it soon is always better then letting it grow or not grow in this case.
This subject may make many men feel there manhood is at stake. Performing sexually isn’t the same as being able to father a child or produce top notch sperm. I would hope this thought doesn’t hold some men back from find out what is the challenge and how do I fix it. It is clear if something doesn’t change we will have nothing to talk about and populations will be affected and out of our control.
Looking at the whole picture always helps me make a better choice. Be more proactive we can all become just a little bit better and the more likely the negative results in life can be avoided. Stand up tall with an upright posture and be proactive. The solution helps to keep moving the best direction is to step onto the path of True Health. Discover a new world. Help yourself, help the world, step on to the Path of True Health and vote with your dollars company you want to support to create a world you will love to live in. I do, and I like the world I am helping to create. Together we can create a better life for all to remember over their entire lifetime Together we can protect what we have so we don’t need to live in a world that is second rate.
