An interesting piece of research in the journal of Fertility and Sterility. What's most interesting was that they set out expecting to find the opposite, that vegetarians, supposedly being healthier, would have a higher sperm count.

Does it also effect the women's chance of getting pregnant?
I'll reword that. Obviously it does if the man has a low sperm count but is a woman less likely to get pregnant if she is a vegetarian?

Didn't work for me, I've got two kids, and there was no problem with fertility, our lass caught on the first month after coming off the pill.

Is it that vegetarian diets reduce sperm counts though or that proper manly men brimming with testosterone and rocket powered super sperm would never become vegetarian? Maybe only limp-wristed, floppy haired ladyboys become vegetablists?

I read that in The Times on Monday, also said that men who drink regularly (booze that is) have higher sperm counts. Explains why council estates are full of kids but the clean living middle classes have to resort to IVF etc. wink
