新研究：多食超加工食品对男性生育能力有害

Core Insights - A new study involving the French National Center for Scientific Research indicates that diets high in ultra-processed foods negatively impact weight management and male reproductive function, even with the same caloric intake [1] Group 1: Study Overview - The study involved 43 healthy male participants aged 20 to 35, who followed two different dietary plans with equal caloric intake [1] - In the first plan, 77% of calories came from ultra-processed foods, while in the second plan, 66% came from unprocessed foods [1] - Participants adhered to each dietary plan for three weeks, followed by a three-month return to their normal diet, and then another three weeks on the alternate plan [1] Group 2: Findings - Results showed that the ultra-processed food diet led to a decrease in levels of follicle-stimulating hormone and testosterone, both critical for male fertility [1] - A trend of decreased sperm motility was also observed among participants on the ultra-processed diet [1] Group 3: Implications - The study's director, Romain Barres, noted that while the research focused on males, the observed effects are likely not exclusive to them, suggesting potential implications for female reproductive health as well [2]
