A Harvard study takes a look at the effects that carbohydrates and dairy have on the male sperm count.
Dr. Jorge Chavarro, an assistant professor of nutrition and epidemiology in the Harvard School for Public Health confirms that there has been a steady decline in men’s sperm count throughout the 20th century.
If the trend continues, the ramifications could be detrimental.
“A dietary analysis revealed that carbs accounted for roughly half of all calories consumed among the participants. The team found that carb intake did not appear to have any impact on sperm mobility or shape. However, it did find that the more carbs consumed, the lower the man’s overall sperm count.”
Chavarro also notes that these results are consistent throughout men of all weight and height, and tobacco, caffeine, and alcohol consumption habits. The only way to avoid dropping in sperm count? Easy. Avoid bread and butter.
