The Book in a Nutshell

In 2017, Shanna Swan and a team of fellow researchers published a study that shocked the world. The results suggested that in just forty years, the western world had experienced a drop in sperm count of more than 50 percent. In Count Down, Swan explores exactly how our reproductive health has changed and why, pointing to a range of lifestyle and environmental factors, notably including the role of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in our everyday lives. Book Summary: The Key Ideas

#1: The Worrying Decline of Testosterone and Sperm Count. Research found that sperm counts have declined by more than 50% in the last 40 years. Studies also show that all-round reproductive health is in decline, with declines in testosterone, sperm quality, miscarriage rates and other fertility issues.

#2: The Reproductive Programming Window. The first trimester of pregnancy is one of the most important defining windows for the child’s future reproductive health. What a mother is exposed to or consumes during this window can influence sperm count, testosterone, and other fertility metrics.

#3: Lifestyle and Chemical Causes of the Reproductive Decline. Our lifestyle choices can contribute to dramatic declines in reproductive health (e.g. diet, smoking and alcohol). Swan’s particular area of interest, however, is endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which are found in a wide range of everyday consumer products. Research suggests that exposure to certain EDCs can diminish sperm count and quality, as well as having a wide range of other impacts on reproductive health

. #4: The Physiological, Environmental and Demographic Consequences. The worrying decline in reproductive health raises risks of other physical health problems such as cancer. The demographic impacts pose important questions around economic policy. And our continued use of EDCs is having profound environmental impacts on other species that require urgent action.

From another write up:

The book doesn’t just evaluate fertility issues. There’s so much more at play – especially when it comes to environmental chemicals and body chemistry. The book looks at gender fluidity and whether or not endocrine disruption plays a role in the upswing in non-binary sexuality. Swan’s expertise on sexual and reproductive development, and how it can be affected by environmental influences, lays out the science and the questions without prejudice.

Swan points to examples where real-world exposures to drugs, for example, can blur the development of differences between the genders. While there are difficulties in actually studying humans in a controlled environment, she also points to chemical exposures that alter sexual behaviors and even the sex of frogs and fish. While it’s clear we all live somewhere on the gender spectrum, we should be asking if exposure to chemicals is connected to how we form gender identity and how these changes further impact reproduction.

The chickens are coming home to roost
These folks are indeed mental (albeit from being fricked /poisoned/programmed). Very sad.

We are being rendered infertile and docile, by design…

Be thankful for understanding
Be compassionate to those who are trapped/exploited
