Cola may reduce sperm count



Men who drink lots of cola every day may reduce their fertility, a new study suggest. The Danish study showed men who drank about a quart or more of cola per day had 30 percent lower sperm counts than men who did not drink cola even though most of the reduced sperm counts are considered normal by the Word Health Organization.




Dr. Tina Kold Jensen of Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen, Denmark and colleagues studied more than 2500 young men and also found that those who did not drink cola had better sperm quality.




However when examining results it must be taken into account that this was not a clinical trial and lifestyle factors may be a determinant to sperm, as those who did not drink cola tended to follow a healthier lifestyle.
