Today we’re going to talk about why the sperm count is downtrending. From 1973 to 2011, sperm count has crashed down by 60%.

A few potential causes of low sperm count and low sperm motility:

1. Phthalates (from plastics)

2. Estrogen (from body fat or chemicals in the environment)

3. Insulin resistance (high levels of insulin can lower testosterone)

4. Statins (testosterone is made from cholesterol)

5. GMO foods (glyphosate)

6. Soy (soy has been directly associated with low sperm count)

0:44.6	Hi guys.
0:52.6	Today we're to talk about why the sperm count is down trending 1973 to 2011.
0:55.0	It crashed down by 60%.
0:59.0	Okay, now why is that? It's pretty mysterious.
1:00.0	What is behind that?
1:01.0	Because it's very difficult to tell you exactly,
1:03.0	but there are several factors that definitely have a huge impact
1:07.0	on lowering testosterone in reducing sperm count and sperm motility. Okay. Number one, thallites. Okay.
1:15.5	This comes from plastic using too many plastic containers, water bottles. Also,
1:22.5	microwaving things in plastic containers are really, really bad. There's so much plastic around us. Everywhere

1:42.2	All right, estrogen. If a guy has too much estrogen, that is going to lower
1:47.2	testosterone and sperm count. Now, the fatter someone is, the more estrogen they're going to make,
1:55.0	because fat, through the help of this enzyme, turns testosterone into estrogen. Also, the exposure to estrogen from chemicals in
2:04.8	environment can mimic estrogen. It's called endocrine disruptors. It's like the pesticides,
2:09.9	insecticides, herbicides, fungicides. That's why it's highly recommended that you do organic.
