Yet another reason…

As if we needed another reason to eat hormone free beef, a new study (published May 2007) shows us these hormones can affect the sperm production of a male offspring of women who consumed these steroids during pregnancy. (In other words: women who consume this tainted beef while pregnant with a boy can adversely affect the sperm production later in life for their unborn son) The two major findings were:

Sperm volume was 24.3 % higher in the group with low consumption

and

Roughly 18% of the men in the high consumption group had sperm concentrations below the WHO’s criteria for subfertility. (This is three times the amount in the low consumption group)

hmmm..
