Beer may cause infertility
Posted on 12:00, September 24th, 2008 by Al
Researchers in Cambridge have found that beer, red wine, peanuts, and coffee, along with other foods, contain certain hormone-like chemicals which, when consumed in large amounts, reduces sperm counts.
It is found that when drinks are consumed along with nuts, it causes more damages than consumed separately. A lot of items were analysed using sensitive chemical procedures. The levels of oestrogen like chemicals, lignansa, and isoflavones were measured.
Coffee, wine, nuts, beer may cause male infertility
I guess it’s a good thing I’ve already had two kids and am not looking for any more. Maybe it’s the price we pay for the heart-healthy they offer.

That’s odd. I always thought massive amounts of beer resulted in more reported cases of pregnancy. I’ve got 3 kids already and won’t have any more so this is actually good news for me!
I suppose the frequency of alcohol-induced copulation probably outweighs the risks of infertility. Guys who have fertility problems already probably shouldn’t exacerbate them.
Besides, I hear that heated car seats are significantly worse.
