The men you should be careful if often in an environment full of chemicals. Researchers from Europe found reproductive problems in men who live near or frequent contact with sources of chemicals.

Researchers call these chemicals with Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals or EDCS. Chemicals are also found in fatty foods, paints, plastics, pesticides and byproducts from the processing industry had a negative side effect for men.

Studies have shown that there is a relationship between EDCS with male reproductive problems, namely the quality of low semen and congenital genital abnormalities. The presence of toxic chemicals that interfere with male reproductive tool can be detected from the content of mother’s milk which will be given to her infant son.

In the International Journal of Andrology, researchers measured levels of 121 chemicals from 68 samples of breast milk in Danish and Finnish. Just so you know, Danish is a country with the highest male reproductive problems, while Finland is a country with the lowest reproductive problems.

“We were very surprised to find the content of EDCS including dioxins, PCBs (Polychlorinated biphenyls) and several other types of pesticides found in most human breast milk samples from Danish than Finnish,” said Niels Skakkebaek, a study team member was quoted as saying by AP, Friday (25/9/2009).

“These findings suggest that exposure to chemicals to the environment or to humans can be dangerous and reproductive diseases, especially for men.
