Recent study by the University of Rochester has postulated that men whose mothers ate large amounts of beef during pregnancy were three times more likely to have a sub-fertile sperm count.
Researchers think that it is because of the growth hormone which was used by the beef industry. Although the hormones were banned in Europe but was not the case in the US, it made use of testosterone and progesterone, sex hormone.
The chief researcher accepted the fact that lifestyle and exposure to pesticides are probable causes yet he advocated the stance by saying,
Theoretically, the fetus and young children are particularly sensitive to exposure to sex steroids. Therefore, the consumption of residues of steroids in meat by pregnant women and young children is of particular concern.
Hey, I am a bit skeptical about the whole affair, even if it talks about this research thing. What do you have to say in this regard?
