Antidepressant drugs taken by tens of thousands of British men may damage sperm quality and harm fertility, researchers at the Cornell Medical Centre in New York have found. The doctors examined the effects of paroxetine (Seroxat) on men taking the drug over five weeks. Four weeks into the trial, tests revealed the men had sperm showing more than twice as much genetic damage as at the start of the study.

A bowl of tomato soup every day can help boost fertility among men, scientists claim
Bowl of tomato soup a day 'boosts fertility' - Telegraph
Extract:
"A bowl of tomato soup every day can help boost fertility among men, scientists claimed yesterday.
They have discovered that lycopene, which gives tomatoes their bright red colouring, can turn sperm into super-sperm.
Researchers at the University of Portsmouth studied the effect of lycopene in the diet on a random group of six healthy men, with an average age of 42. The men were asked to consume a 400g tin of Heinz cream of tomato soup every day for two weeks.
The researchers, from the university's biomedical science department, said that during the two weeks, levels of lycopene in the men's semen rose between seven and 12 per cent, which was "significant".
They added that further studies should be carried out to discover whether the same boost would be seen in infertile men.
The results, published in the British Journal of Urology, said that infertile men have lower levels of lycopene in their sperm. The study suggests that higher levels of lycopene are associated with increased fertility."
Women whose fertility is low because of being overweight, can easily and safely lose weight by cutting down on salt (sodium) and salty food and therefore boost their fertility and improve their health at the same time.
I must say Heinz cream of tomato soup is absolutely delicious. - I'd love to eat it myself, but as it contains salt I have to avoid it because I am a steroid victim and therefore extremely sensitive to salt.
Lose weight by eating less salt! Go on! - Try it! - You will feel so much better!
