In one study, men who experienced a decrease in the number of sperm is collected. According to the results of the research, they have the condition because it has too many eating fruits and vegetables in fresh produce.
However, a senior author of the study who also is an associate professor of nutrition and epidemiology at Harvard University's School of Public Health, Jorge Chavarro, said that, although it is evident that the cause is pesticides in fruits and vegetables does not mean he should stop eating fruits and vegetables. They can choose a fruit that has a lower content of pesticides.

However, this new research is the first study to look at how the effects of pesticides in the diet of men to the number and quality of sperm.
In addition, experts test the fertility of men with three factors, such as counting the number of sperm (number of cells), morphologists sperm (form), as well as sperm mobility (ability to swim). As a result, men who consume a lot of fruits and vegetables with high pesticide levels on average have as many as 86 million sperm per ejaculate than those who consumed low levels of pesticide intake to 171 million sperm.
Not only that, pesticides also affect sperm count perfectly shaped. Among men who consumed a product containing pesticides more, by 5.7 percent produce sperm with normal shape, compared to 7.8 percent in men who received less exposure to pesticides from fruits and vegetables. Nevertheless, the amount of fruit and vegetables eaten by man does not affect their sperm.
