But I do think to a certain extent we're making it sound a lot worse than it is to make it sound like human race is going to end.
Otherwise, people with the intention span of a gnat won't click on this.
We need more data.
We need good, longer data.
I think right now we have some data points.
We have to capture this longer term to see where this is actually, if it's real and where the trend is heading.
Yeah, perfectly said.
So yeah, exactly.
If you have lower sperm counts, you could say that lower sperm counts can mean that overall you're in poor health.
But now we have data, I think it was about a year ago in Sweden, they published something where they said guys who have lower sperm counts, lower sperm counts, there's a number of things, how they sperm look, how they move, the morphology, how they look, their counts, all these things.
Ultimately, men who have lower sperm counts can have mortality at a younger age.
They die younger.
So that's what it is.
You could say they're unhealthier, right?
Whether it's cardiovascular rise, cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, metabolically, maybe hormonally, they have low testosterone levels.
This can impact them long-term.
So yeah, it's essentially their overall health.
The reproductive health is a snapshot of their overall health.
So if you do have low sperm counts, it's kind of a wake-up call.
Hey, fix your overall health picture.
