Cola Could Be Bad For Sperm

Danish researchers claim that men who drink at least a quart of cola a day may have be hurting their little soldiers. The study revealed that men who drank this much cola had 30 percent fewer sperm than men who did not. But it’s not caffeine that might be making your swimmers drop out of the race, as coffee didn’t appear to have the same effect. Instead, researchers are looking toward other ingredients or an overall unhealthy lifestyle as the cause. The more than 2500 men who participated in the study showed that those who didn’t drink cola averaged about 50 million sperm per milliliter of semen and lived healthier lives. On the other hand the 93 men who drank about 34 ounces of cola a day had 35 million sperm per milliliter. Aside from guzzling that cola, there were also more likely to eat a lot of fast food and less fruits and vegetables. So next time you reach for that cool, refreshing cola you might what to think if you’re willing to throw your boys under the bus.
