Not to be a chicken little or anything (it’s only one study, etc.), but a 1.9% annual decrease in sperm count left unchecked would become a civilization altering event in very short order.
There’s something going on besides BPA here and if endocrinologists don’t figure it out soon we’re looking a pretty bleak picture.
Perhaps France will soon need to start importing sperm. What a sad fate for a country to no longer be sperm sufficient.
On the one hand I wouldn’t expect anything else from a socialist nation. On the other hand…
So basically we are expected to trust a loopy member of the academe being quoted by the liberal media machine. But then again, considering the way we voted a month ago I don’t see why I should be surprised that the lamestream media is trying to fool us like this.
