"Count Down: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race" is a nonfiction book written by Shanna H. Swan, an environmental and reproductive epidemiologist.
In this book, Swan examines the decline in human sperm count and how it is linked to environmental factors such as exposure to chemicals in plastics, pesticides, and personal care products. She argues that the modern world is affecting the reproductive health of both men and women, and that urgent action is needed to prevent a catastrophic decline in fertility rates.
The book has been discussed on The Joe Rogan experience podcast, where Swan elaborated on the findings of her research and the implications of her conclusions for the future of humanity. The book has received critical acclaim for its well-researched and alarming insights into the impact of environmental toxins on human fertility.
