Pesticide Exposure in Strawberries
The Environmental Working Group's (EWG) 2024 "Dirty Dozen" report reveals that about 90% of strawberries tested positive for pesticide residues. This makes them one of the most pesticide-contaminated fruits.

Glyphosate and Female Fertility
Glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs) may disrupt the endocrine system, potentially affecting female fertility by altering hormone regulation, particularly estrogen. This disruption could impact ovarian function and reproductive health, though more research is needed to confirm the extent of these effects in humans.
Glyphosate and Male Fertility
This review examines how glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs) may negatively affect male fertility, specifically sperm quality, by causing oxidative stress, DNA damage, and reduced sperm motility. It calls for more research on the long-term effects of glyphosate on male reproductive health.
Decline in Male Fertility
Dr. Shanna Swan's research highlights a dramatic decline in male fertility, with sperm counts dropping by over 50% between 1973 and 2011. Projections suggest sperm counts could reach near zero by 2045 if the trend continues.
