Researchers Worried about Limp Korean Sperm
Quote: |
The sperm of young Korean men is growing weak. Although there is no problem with their sperm count, over the past five years Korean men have produced significantly small numbers of healthy, actively mobile sperm cells. Experts blame the phenomenon on environmental hormones that affect the reproductive system....
The sperm that Professor Han's team collected came from otherwise healthy Koreans in their early 20s. The researchers studied soldiers until 2004, athletes in 2005, and normal university students last year.
"The decrease in motility is serious in that it can become the major cause of sterility in men," Professor Han said. Detailed research results will be announced in July. |

Do you think diet could be having an effect (eg, too much soy?) |

Probably a chemtrail symptom.
Avoid the DHMOs as much as possible.
Foil hat, I think it needs to be tin, no aluminum. |

The test subjects are too young. Korean men do not fully develop their sperm until the 'Adjoshi' stage of their development. This has been occuring later in life for many Korean men as the society has become more affluent. |

Well lads, I guess there's no choice. For the production of kimchi to be maintained for future generations, you're all going to have to roll up your sleeves and make some babies. |

We've been told that KIMCHI killls everything from SARS to chicken FLU to the fungus between your toes. What they didn't mention was that it also kills sperm. |

There are too damn many people in this country already! Maybe its nature's way of reducing the population? |

Seriously, if this is true, is it happening in other parts of the industrialized world? |

As if the birth rate wasn't already low enough. I wonder if this effects foreigners too? That'd be a strike against working in Korea I suppose. |

So..high strung guys with lots of stress=low sperm motility. No duh. Look at all the crap a K-guy has to go through. School, military, job then daddy Kim nagging about a new male Kim baby.
I have no problems believing this. |

Well...there has been some problems with a drop in male births. I think the 2 countries mentioned were the U.S. and Japan but it wasn't a definitive study. In any event, I've heard the argument that chemicals in the environment were a possible reason for this reason. The drop in male births is hypothesized to be a problem directly relating to male ahem potency, so I guess it can effect foreign men as well... |

Perhaps many Korean men suffer from hypogonadism. |

I think that you will find that if the test subjects, primarily the Uni students, were interviewed it would be found that they are all avid fans of lemonade adverts.  |
