Neurotoxin contamination of the dairy supply doesn’t explain why the association between Parkinson’s disease and skim milk consumption is as strong as the association of whole milk.

DESCRIPTION: Aspartame may be the reason that diet soda consumption during pregnancy has been linked to premature birth. Folks may also be interested in yesterday's NutritionFacts.org video-of-the-day Aspartame-Induced Fibromyalgia (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/aspartame-induced-fibromyalgia/). Regular soda may not be a good idea either. High fructose corn syrup may contain mercury (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/mercury-in-corn-syrup/) and it's no good for our kids either (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/diet-hyperactivity/). See Food Industry Funding Effect (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-industry-funding-effect/) for a discussion of how studies funded by soft drink corporations may be biased. I've got 32 other videos on pregnancy (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/pregnancy/) and hundreds of videos on a thousand other topics (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/).

The ongoing global drop in male fertility may be associated with saturated fat intake and lack of sufficient fruits and vegetables.
Subscribe to NutritionFacts.org's free e-newsletter and receive a recipe from Dr. Greger's brand-new cookbook, The How Not to Diet Cookbook: https://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe/
Why is high dietary intake of saturated fat associated with reduced semen quality? What’s the connection? Sex steroid hormones in meat, eggs, and dairy may help explain the link between saturated fat intake and declining sperm counts. That’s the subject of my next video, Dairy Estrogen and Male Fertility.
More on male infertility in my videos Fukushima and Radioactivity in Seafood (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fukushima-and-radioactivity-in-seafood/) and Male Fertility and Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/male-fertility-and-diet/).
Diet also has a role to play in sexual dysfunction:

Certain foods are linked not only to increased happiness, but also to greater “eudaemonic” well-being—feelings of engagement, creativity, meaning, and purpose in life.

For more on this topic, I invite you to watch my video Plant-Based Diets for Improved Mood and Productivity (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/plant-based-diets-for-improved-mood-and-productivity/).
Sadly, there are 20 times more studies published on health and depression than there are on health and happiness. There is growing interest in the so-called positive psychology movement, though. See my Are Happier People Actually Healthier? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/are-happier-people-actually-healthier) for more.
I mentioned in passing the benefits of exercise for boosting mood, and here is more on maximizing movement: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5TLzNi5fYd8Rb7MOboMPM2H_TKAKRFLt
