Title: Three cups of coffee a day decreases men's ability to father normal children

Modern man v hamster: Who is the more virile?

Latte drinking is the latest threat to human sperm counts, giving the rodent the edge

Drinking just three cups of coffee a day decreases men's ability to father normal children, new research suggests.

The research is the latest of a series of studies showing how modern life cuts both the quantity and quality of sperm. One, by the US government, shows that men now produce only about a third as much sperm as hamsters.

Post by: JFC on October 31, 2006, 03:26:06 AM: I try to limit myself to one cup a day, and even then I try to only drink coffee in the morning. Makes you wonder, what is being affected by the extra caffeine? The men's stamina or the sperm's? :P

Post by: Kei on October 31, 2006, 04:28:43 AM: If a sperm is wasted, God gets quite irate!

I don't drink coffee, but I wonder if it is the caffeine that causes this. If so, I'm never drinking a caffeinated drink again. Unless I'm thirsty...

...hmm, I could go a coke right now...

As long as it gets the job done.

Being virile and causing unwanted pregnancies is more of a hassle than a blessing anyway.
