Count Down: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race

Product Information

I was much expecting a scary downhill line chart of how our sperms have been going down year after year in the past century. None was in the book. Numerically speaking, I could only find 1 paragraph describing WHO estimates of our sperm count threshold had been reduced. On her upcoming role, Dr Imafidon said: “It has been a ride and a half keeping Rachel's seat warm. Unlike anything I've ever done, and I'll probably never get to do something so iconic ever again! Thanks in advance to everyone who tunes in to see how I got on...and big thanks to Rachel!” Again, pretty much everything I wrote above I previously read in much more cogently argued articles that are widely available. What was not covered in those articles was the question of whether or not the sudden rise in the number of gender dysphoria cases might be caused by greater exposure to anti-androgenic chemicals or endocrine disrupters (either in utero or prior to puberty). I previously assumed this phenomenon was largely (or even exclusively) the result of social contagion (i.e. teens and young adults pushing boundaries and trying to be popular or relevant). So in all honesty this question was rather intriguing and I was curious to see what the data showed. Sadly, the author spent roughly an eighth of the book speculating without any evidence one way or the other. But rest assured, she made sure to state multiple times that even if toxic chemicals are responsible for gender dysphoria, the rise of gender fluidity is something to be celebrated and embraced. OK. Thanks for that scientific analysis Doc. And the constant intrusion of slang-like language (“scrambled eggs”, “little swimmers”, and “spoiler alert”) set my teeth on edge since the author didn’t use one style (journalistic vs. informal) consistently.

This could easily have been reduced by half what with the repetition that caused my attention to wander and I then realized that I was able to skim through to the end. Then there is the bizarrely casual conversational tone that strikes me as unprofessional.

Reproduktiivsüsteem ning sellega seotud tulevik on teema, millest ei saa ega tohi enam mööda vaadata. Seetõttu on mul väga hea meel, et säärane raamat on ühe teadlase sule läbi ilmavalgust näinud. Ühtlasi selgitab autor kõik ilusasti lahti ning ei lange ülemäära detailidesse, mis teeb kirjatüki suuremale ampluaale inimestele arusaadavaks. Who is responsible for the spread of these endocrine disruptors? Corporations (and the governments that “regulate” them). Swan details the history of industrial research and development of chemicals for the sake of cheapening production costs as well as industry’s awareness of their hazards. As an example, even in the 1930s it was observed by scientists that BPAs mimic estrogen. Swan offers numerous other examples highlighting the knowledge corporations had of the dangers of these chemicals, long before broader public awareness, as well as the deceptions and manipulations they have taken to keep profit margins high at the expense of public reproductive health. Swan gives the example of an endocrine disrupting chemical that was banned from an industrial process for its effects…only to be replaced by a chemical that had the exact same effects. Efforts to regulate and tamp down the usage and spread of these chemicals have met with stiff resistance due to intense lobbying as well as misinformation campaigns by these bad actors. I read about this book from an article in the NYT. I could’ve stopped there and learned just about as much, minus the alphabet soup and the annoyingly informal conversational tone.

Eye opening facts with details and solutions. So many things we take for granted and use on a daily basis that are incredibly harmful to ourselves and our future.

Dent presented Channel 4 web series Susie Dent's Guide to Swearing, which explored the etymology and history of select English swear words.

The reason I gave this book one less star is twofold: one is the topic is depressing and the other is that she really never talked about how the cost of childcare contributes to this issue. I know many people opting to have one child instead of two solely based on the rising cost of raising children in the United States. It is strange that she never delves into this topic as Universal Child Care is a hot button issue whose day has come.
