Association between intake of soft drinks and testicular function in young men
Greater intake of large amounts of soft drinks may diminish total sperm and impair testicular function in young men
This study looked at the impact avid consumption of soft drinks on testicular function. Researchers examined the beverage intake levels and testicular function of 2,935 young men using validated food frequency questionnaires, seminal fluid analysis, and testicular ultrasound.
Researchers found out that young men who took generous portions of soft drinks demonstrated a significant drop in total sperm count and concentration and a marked reduction in testicular function. This study provided strong evidence that habitual drinking of soft drinks may have adverse effect on testicular function.
