[quote=Anonymous]I get the impression that the Europeans don't use quite as many toxic pesticides on their foods or quite as many toxic personal care products on their bodies as Americans. Their governmental standards are much stricter than ours.

I truly believe the epidemic of infertility here in the U.S. is due to decades of toxic crap building up in everyone's systems. My DH is from another country (I'm American) and when we were having trouble, I did testing and he did SA. His SA numbers blew the analyst away, and she asked sight unseen if he was from another country. Apparently men in this country used to have numbers like his but it's been a couple generations since it was the norm, and standards for SA keep going down.

Of course, as the American, it ended up being me who had the issues, and it took a fair amount of time and money to overcome them (3 years and IUI for #1). I eliminated all perfumes, shampoos, body washes, etc, and use things like coconut oil and castille soap only now. And I switched to more local food from farmers whom I could ask face-to-face how they'd treated their food. Put a RO filter on the faucet for drinking water. For baby #2 it took exactly 3 months of trying. Clearly this is anecdotal, but I think it is a common enough experience and the environment here is so, so trashed, that I can't imagine it doesn't make an impact.[/quote]
