YIKES: Hey Fellas… Bad News About What Scientists Found In 100% Of Tested Testicles

Does this help explain the recent catastrophic drop in sperm counts?

It may have been a small study, but 100% of subjects were affected.

If this plays out on a wider scale, it could have some ugly consequences.

A new study published in the journal Toxicological Sciences has found microplastics present in every human testicle examined. This concerning discovery adds to growing worries about the potential impact of plastic pollution on male fertility.
Researchers at the University of New Mexico analysed tissue samples from both dogs and humans and detected microplastics in all of them. The study highlights the “potential consequences for male fertility,” prompting further investigation.
The research team led by Xiaozhong “John” Yu, MD, PhD, MPH, a professor in the UNM College of Nursing, reported finding 12 types of microplastics in 47 canines and 23 human testes.
“Our study revealed the presence of microplastics in all human and canine testes,” Yu said. — NDTV

Here is the abstract from the study:

The ubiquitous existence of microplastics and nanoplastics raises concerns about their potential impact on the human reproductive system. Limited data exists on microplastics within the human reproductive system and their potential consequences on sperm quality. Our objectives were to quantify and characterize the prevalence and composition of microplastics within both canine and human testes and investigate potential associations with the sperm count, and weights of testis and epididymis. Using advanced sensitive Pyrolysis-Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (Py-GC/MS), we quantified 12 types of microplastics within 47 canine and 23 human testes. Data on reproductive organ weights, and sperm count in dogs were collected. Statistical analyses, including descriptive analysis, correlational analysis, and multivariate linear regression analyses were applied to investigate the association of microplastics with reproductive functions. Our study revealed the presence of microplastics in all canine and human testes, with significant inter-individual variability. Mean total microplastic levels were 122.63 µg/g in dogs and 328.44 µg/g in humans. Both humans and canines exhibit relatively similar proportions of the major polymer types, with PE being dominant. Furthermore, a negative correlation between specific polymers such as PVC and PET and the normalized weight of the testis was observed. These findings highlight the pervasive presence of microplastics in the male reproductive system in both canine and human testes, with potential consequences on male fertility.
