Does anyone else get sick of conflicting scientific studies?
Red wine is good for you, oh no it’s not you shameless alcoholic. Dark chocolate is good for you versus put that Old Gold choc bar down at once fatty. Childcare is good for children versus you are irreparably harming your child by sending them to childcare.
Well, the latest is that caffeinated drinks increase sperm count, where previous studies claim sugary and processed foods make men less fertile.
I’d take all this more seriously, but the swimmers that benefitted from caffeine were tested were in mice, versus the study that claims poor diet bad for men which was tested in humans.
Maybe the answer is to tally up the total studies on either sides and then whoever comes out on top is the winner, because it seems the scientist certainly can’t agree on it.
Who should we follow?
