of fruits and vegetables in general
should not be discouraged by these findings. In fact it’s found that
total intake of vegetables and fruits was completely unrelated to semen quality.

systematic way giving tantalizing results , it should be interpreted keeping
small caution in mind that this study must be having its own flaws and
limitation. ”

scheduling to use their own sperms and eggs for infertility treatment. Men who
were consuming highest intake of pesticide laden fruits and vegetables minimum

sample compared to those who have low consumption of fruits and vegetables per
day .
