Ripped From the Headlines, Again

Of course they do.

Experts are saying too many fatty foods are dangerous not only to men's waistlines, but to their sperm production. The researchers adjusted their analysis to account for other factors that could have affected men's sperm count, like smoking, alcohol intake, history of drug abuse, and age, but ultimately concluded male fitness and health are clearly linked to a man's fertility.

There are several theories about why obese men might have bad sperm. Maybe it's because they're disgusting. Perhaps because fat tissue influences the metabolism of sex hormones, it might also disrupt sperm production. It could also be a temperature problem, since the most delicious sperm is best produced at a temperature two degrees cooler than normal body temperature, and obese men might be overheated. Also, copious amounts of Big Macs and Mountain Dew could be hurting spermies.

Fat men had a 60% higher chance of having a low volume of semen, according to research. They also had a 40% higher chance of having some sperm abnormalities. Unconfirmed reports put over 90% having left semen on a keyboard, mouse, or other computer peripheral.


bad sperm indeed
