Democratic Party proposals

lundi 31 juillet 2017 à 02:00

Prescription surveillance

lundi 31 juillet 2017 à 02:00

A clue to the cause of the global decrease in sperm counts: many endocrine disruptor chemicals, which get into people's blood from household products including food wrappers and toothpaste, have been found to damage sperm.

We should reject the idea that there is a sperm count "crisis".

The decrease in sperm count could be beneficial, if it reduces the birth rate, but it clearly isn't enough to solve the problem.
