'CINCINNATI (WKRC) - A new study from Harvard says a junk food lovers diet could lead to lower sperm counts.  Researchers found that foods such as burgers, fries, pizza and sugary drinks, impact testicular function in young men.  That was especially true when compared to guys who ate a healthy well-balanced diet including fruits, vegetables, fish and chicken.  Sperm counts for fast food eaters were 25.6 million lower. Since sperm is the male reproductive cell, a lower sperm count can negatively impact the ability of a man to get a partner pregnant.  This information was presented at the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology.  It supports previous studies which have shown sperm counts have dropped in western countries over the past few decades.  The good news is that those who ate what\'s called a prudent diet, including more fish, chicken, vegetables, fruit and water, had the highest sperm counts overall. This was followed by those who were vegetarians.'
