REAL LIFE NEWS: SEE, I TOLD YOU VEGETABLES WERE BAD FOR YOU!

If you eat a lot of fruit and vegetables you may be harming your fertility, because scientists have found that men who don’t eat meat have much lower sperm counts than carnivores.
Researchers at Loma Linda University Medical School in Southern California decided to look at how diets affect sperm. This area has a high population of Seventh-Day Adventist Christians, who are strict vegetarians. Their life expectancy is on average 10 years longer than ordinary Americans, so over the course of four years the research examined sperm quality to find out if it was the cause of the astonishing longevity.
But they found the opposite: the vegetarians and vegans had significantly lower sperm counts than those who ate meat, and lower average sperm motility.
They speculate that the cause could be vitamin deficiencies and possibly the fact that vegetarians replace meat with soy.
So much for a veggie diet being healthy!
