Tight briefs, red meat, varicose veins or stress? Which has been shown to actually reduce a man's sperm count and lead to infertility?
Low sperm count is an uncomfortable subject for some men to discuss, which may be why so many urban legends have sprung up about its causes.
While many grow up hearing that drinking Mountain Dew or shunning boxers can create barriers to fatherhood later on, studies haven't backed up those claims.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
