Her research found sperm counts have dropped by half in the last four decades. In 1973, the average ejaculate had 99 million sperm per milliliter. By 2011, the average ejaculate had 47 million sperm per milliliter.
In her new book, "Count Down," Swan says based on the current curve, sperm counts could be down to zero by 2045.
Swan believes chemicals from plastics are getting into our bodies, impacting our hormones and ultimately interfering with our reproductive functions. Phthalates are the culprit. Remember that word. Phthalates are chemicals in plastics that lower the bodies’ testosterone.
So how do phthalates get in our bodies?
Swan says they're everywhere. Any food product that is passed through a soft tube in the manufacturing process has likely absorbed harmful chemicals that could creep into our bodies.
"If you eat unprocessed food, particularly, if you can afford it, organic food, then you are avoiding a lot of exposure," Swan said.
However, it's not just food. Swan said creams, nail polishes, fragrances and other health, beauty and cleaning products are oozing with phthalates.
In regards to sperm counts, much of the damage is done when a male is forming inside the mother's uterus.
Swan said the chemicals get into a woman's body, then into the testicles of the fetus and change development.
We may have to get by on donated sperm for a while or use Amish communities as breeding farms. Nations should start building up strategic sperm reserves right now.
