Consumption of beer and coffee may lower the sperm count

In a latest study, it has been found out that drinking in moderation is not that harmful. But excess consumption of beer, coffee and even red wine may reduce the sperm count in men. The study was carried out in Britain, by a group of researchers. It was found that beer, caffeinated high drinks like coffee and also red wine has higher contents of oestrogen. These oestrogen chemicals are related with fertility in males.

The study also elaborated that, in take of roasted peanuts along with these drinks can cause more damage. It is has been seen that peanuts contain high levels of phyto-estrogens, compounds. The researchers opine that a particular kind of phyto-estrogen imitates the female sex hormone oestrogen; they are basically responsible for this.
