Low Folate Levels Harm Sperm

Most women know that folate should be taken to
prevent birth defects when they are trying to
conceive. But now research has shown that low folate
levels may actually harm sperm.

A new study on the effect of folate on sperm has been
released by the National Institutes of Health on March
20, 2008.  Folate is one of the B vitamins and is found
in leafy green vegetables, fruit and beans, chickpeas
and lentils. By law, breads and grains sold in the
United States are also now specially fortified with
added folate to help ward off birth defects.


The highlights of the findings are that

  • The researchers found that men who had the
    highest intake of folate had the lowest incidence
    of sperm abnormalities. In fact, men who had the
    highest intake of folate -- 722 to 1,150
    micrograms a day -- had a 20 percent to 30
    percent lower frequency of several types of
    sperm abnormalities, compared with men who
    consumed less folate.

  • Up till now, birth-defect researchers have
    typically focused on women's diet in the period
    around conception, Eskenazi said. "Based on
    these data, maybe men, too, need to consider
    their diet when they are considering fathering a
    child," she said.

  • Although this study doesn't conclusively prove a
    link between folate and chromosomal
    abnormality, the study advises men who are
    thinking of becoming fathers to increase their
    folate intake, perhaps with a supplement or a
    multivitamin containing folate.

This isn't the first study to find a link between diet and
sperm health. A report published last year in Human
Reproduction found that women who ate beef seven
or more times per week tended to produce sons with
lowered sperm counts, perhaps due to the effects of
hormones or pesticides on developing testes.

One expert agrees that healthy eating is linked to
having healthy babies -- even for men.
