    A number of studies have predicted the possible extinction of a significant portion of mankind due to increasing male infertility. There are many more recent studies, but most are clinical in nature, related in large part the increase in IVF failures and how to remedy that, but here is a link to an article written in plain language that relates the problem:

    Causes are unknown as it is not happening in Africa, Asia, or South America. Could it be pesticides and herbicides in our food supply?

    Well, I can't complain. All studies state that there hasn't been enough research including that on geographical differences. The causes of a decline in male reproductive health are, as often, multifactorial. In the western world an akinetic lifestyle seems to have a major influence on reproductive health quite frequently leading to a metabolic syndrome (high blood pressure, high blood sugar and obesity) as well as diabetes. In conjunction with nicotine, anabolic and other drugs, exposure to toxic chemicals and certain medications like beta blockers, all sorts of stimulating drugs including alcohol, such a lifestyle may reduce the sperm count and the quality of sperms. Hyperthermia due to fever, infections, heated seats can be additional risks. So it will probably not be possible to trace it back to one "culprit" only. It's the cocktail that matters. Men affected will have to be treated individually to detect their personal risk factors.

    Dunno but there is one thing that we are continually being warned about and that is the use of lap tops and tablets when they are used in close proximity to the testes.
    Some believe that the heat contributes to a lot of sperm damage but now there are some studies out there that claim that the electromagnetic fields and WiFi will kill and/or damage a guys sperm count.
    But then, there are also a few studies that show that nothing significant happens but that’s how the cookie crumbles in the paid scientific world. (Ref. Climate change)

    There was one study that showed increased blood flow to the testes in 40% of infertile men, thus raising the temperature and causing spermatogenesis to decrease.

    A lot of men do carry most of their brains down there so if the audio sensors were also there then I can see how loud and heavy bass vibrations associated with rap “music” might be probamatic for a proper sperm count.
    Otherwise, not so much unless a person enjoys sitting on his speakers.

    It's "chemical warfare" to end our population.

    I think the Me To movement has pretty well nipped it in the bud. Hang down your head Tom Dooley ...lolol

    @Don Alaska
    Absolutely! Not only pesticides and herbicides, but also a host of other synthetic chemicals which have found their way into the environment around the Globe. The way in which they are insidious is that many so greatly resemble human Estrogen that the body readily takes it up thinking that it is that hormone, storing the chemicals in our fat cells. The truly unfortunate part is that those fat cells are delivered to infants via their mother's milk. Thus, having no history to work with regarding the harm done, it will take a number of generations to determine what kinds of damage were done, and if they were highly serious or not.

    The really bad stuff like Dioxin and PCBs are only very slowly eliminated by the human body through attrition (death) of the fast cells (aside from those fed to babies!). They appear to have, most of them, no immediately harmful effect; not particularly toxic, nor carcinogenic, though some are indeed that. One effect on the human body of excess Estrogen-mimicking chemicals is feminization. In males, this is noticeable in restructuring of body fat location and reduced sperm counts.

    Surprisingly, the global spread of these chemicals was accomplished by natural causes, in addition to the commercial sale and use of them. A process called "biological magnification" causes the animal life highest in the natural food chain to become carriers of much higher concentrations of chemicals than the lower, the process beginning often in Plankton which ingest the material, are consumed by larger fish, mainly, then even larger, until the bigger species, like Tuna, are heavily polluted with them. Additionally, natural spawning cycles have carried the stuff to nearly all corners of the Earth. This was proven by studies of one of the most tragic "spills" which occurred in the Midwestern U.S. I forget the exact details, but basically, cattle feed got heavily concentrated with chemicals, which somehow wound up in the Great Lakes. A certain species of fresh-water Eel became heavily polluted carriers of the stuff: they swim the Atlantic all the way down to the Sargasso Sea, some thousands of miles, to spawn, where they then die. The dead are consumed by many types of food-fish, thereby bringing it to the human body.

    I gleaned this information from a most enlightening, and frightening, book entitled "Our Stolen Future":

    [​IMG]

    "The book chronicles the development of the endocrine disruptor hypothesis by Colborn. Though written for the popular press in narrative form, the book contains a substantial amount of scientific evidence."

    A real eye-opener! Frank

    I agree, @Frank Sanoica. In some agricultural areas, the mothers cannot generate (consistent) levels of testosterone in utero to convert the fetus into a male. This may contribute to the rise in gender identity problems, feminization, etc. The extent of the problem is not known. Females are less affected due to, as you mentioned, estrogen analogs and estrogen terminals on many of the agricultural chemicals, particularly herbicides. Marijuana ingestion also is a feminizer, and heavy male users often develop gynecomastia and have to breast reduction surgery to reduce the size of their breasts,. This is sometimes seen as a benefit for small-breasted women, but is often unnoticed in women whose breast are of average size. Estrogen also is sometimes considered a stimulant for some kinds of tumor growth, so these chemicals could be in part responsible for the rise of some forms of cancer.

    It would be really easy for "those" who want to stop the population growth to put "chemical warfare" things in our food and water supply, etc...things that would cause men to become infertile and women to become barren. Even many of the medications that are prescribed could cause these things and we will not know this unless "they" want us to know it.

    @Babs Hunt
    This is quite true; however, those purveyors of such sinister activity could not possibly have known about biological magnification, via natural spread. That it happened, though would certainly enhance their cause, but unfortunately, those responsible for the poisoning would themselves be unavoidably poisoned also.

    Apparently, most of Europe is affected except for Finland, and at last check, no one knows why Fins are immune. Poles were supposed immune from the Black Death in the Middle Ages, too.

    Yes, you make a good point Frank...still I think this is what has happened in many cases.
