Over the last 30 years I've watched all the reports of birth rates collapsing, as birth rates continue to collapse. Articles noting the dramatic increase in infertility began surfacing around 2016 when 14% of couples experienced infertility and required assistance to make a baby. Today, the number of infertile couples is around 20%. Many excuses are made in the media, from expense of child care to not enough incentives to have children. Claims that people are choosing to not have children to claims that people are having fewer children because they put off having children until later in life. While these claims may be true, there is one aspect of birth rate collapse that you won't see in the media, or even social media anywhere...

Maybe people are poisoned to infertility?...

About 20 years ago I looked into possible reasons that teens are no longer getting pregnant. Teen pregnancy rates have been dropping dramatically since before the turn of the century - and continue to plummet. I looked at birth control sales, plummeting. I looked at condom sales, plummeting. I looked at sexual promiscuity - skyrocketing. If kids are having sex, like we all did, but not getting pregnant, there's a more logical reason than non-existent abstinence and plummeting contraceptive use, which, actually, should have the opposite effect on teen pregnancy rates.

Maybe, they simply can't get pregnant?

Male Infertility:
Sperm counts have plummetted by over 50% globally over the last 50 years. That may be a causative factor affecting birth rates. There are all kinds of crazy theories blamed for the reason for the decline such as vaccines, chemicals added to water, aliens, "THEY'RE SPRAYING US" and other such nonsense. It seems the obvious, proven cause of the decline is never in the media, or even social media.

When the title of a study includes: "Fighting Bisphenol A-Induced Male Infertility" it is quite clear that exposure to bisphenol A is a commonly known and proven source of infertility in males. Exposure to bisphenol A in the womb affects the development of male reproductive organs including feminization of the fetus, atrophy of the testis and alterations of sperm count, viability and density. Exposure after birth and beyond has the same impact on male reproductive health. The deficiencies caused by bisphenol A exposure range from low sperm count, reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, oxidative stress in testis and epididymis and disrupting male hormones.

It is actually quite logical that as exposure to polychlorinated phenols has become more prevalent at higher concentrations, there has been a corresponding increase in frequency and severity of infertility in males. Why is this information not being discussed by the media and censored out on social media? I would think that many people would want to know what is causing them to experience infertility so they can protect themselves and their children by avoiding chemicals PROVEN to cause male infertility.

Toss in the fact that almost all water in the world is contaminated with PFAS. PFAS is yet another toxin in common consumer goods, as well as a contaminant of concern in water, air and our food supply. And PFAS is yet another toxin proven to harm the male reproduction system, reducing male fertility. Considering the fact that PFAS is in rain around the world, concentrations in water, air and food will continue to increase.

Microplastics are another emerging cause of male infertility. Offgassing the same placticers noted above, microplastics are similar to a time-release implant of plasticizers, affecting fertility as well as other endocrine/hormone-based biological functions. Since all men now have microplastics in their testicles, they literally shoot blanks, or just bits of plastics, instead of viable sperm. In my opinion, depositing microplastics into a female during intercourse likely increases risks of infertility of females as well as microplastics migrate to uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries.

Female Infertility:
From non-viable eggs to a toxic womb, it seems maternal exposure to endocrine disruptors such as bisphenol A, have a negative impact on female fertility, as well as the fertility of her offspring. A review of studies from 2007 to 2016 summarizes that women exposed to bisphenols experience a higher rate of infertility than those with lower, or no exposure. Zero exposure is pretty much impossible today considering the number of products that contain bisphenol and the saturation of the environment, including air, water and food.

How much more clear can it possibly be that exposure to hormone/endocrine disrupting chemicals found in common consumer goods are the cause of plummeting female fertility rates... "In particular, BPA has been correlated with alterations in hypothalamic-pituitary hormonal production, reduced oocyte quality due to perinatal and adulthood exposure, defective uterine receptivity and the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome." In addition to known damage to the reproductive system, exposure to bisphenol A is also associated with miscarriage. This would explain the rising numbers of those who cannot carry a baby full term. In 2014 it was noted that over half of babies are dying in the womb in direct correlation with increased bisphenol A exposure. Of 115 pregnant women in the study, only 47 babies made it out of the damaged and/or toxic womb alive. The other 68 died. Literally more than half died in the womb. Forty-six of those who didn't make it out of the womb had an abnormal number of chromosomes. The other 22 had the normal number of chromosomes

With PFAS contamination of water supply a global threat to health, and male fertility as noted above, it is also part of the decline in female fertility. The higher the PFAS level in blood, the lower the liklihood of pregnancy and live birth. With PFAS literally pouring down on us when it rains, increasing contamination of water, air and our food supply, it appears as though female fertility will continue to plummet.

As the environment becomes increasingly saturated with toxins from constant flow of endocrine disrupting poisons in plastics and consumer goods, I guess that we can expect fertility to drop to nothing. Considering both male and female reproduction are destroyed by exposure to chemicals in common consumer goods such as plastics, make-up, perfume, fragrances, cleaning products, body care products, synthetic clothing and more - the list goes on and on.

But try to get anyone to stop poisoning themselves, their children and the planet. I've been trying for 30 years. People just refuse to give up their toxic lifestyle, which means the birth rate will continue to collapse as people continue to poison themselves off and leave the world more toxic and more barren for the few future generations that may be able to survive in toxic waste.
