"  Sorry, ladies of France: Your guys&amp;#039; little swimmers aren&amp;#039;t swimming so strongly anymore. Researchers just released the findings of a 16-year study of 26,600 French men and found that their sperm counts dropped a staggering 32.3 percent\u2014a rate of about two percent a year. According to the study, the average concentration of a 35-year-old man in the country is 49.9 million per milliliter\u2014not low enough to be infertile, but enough to limit his baby-making skills. &amp;quot;This constitutes a serious public health warning,&amp;quot; researcher Dr. Joelle Le Moal told the BBC. Uh, yeah. We assume the guys involved aren&amp;#039;t too thrilled about it, either.  As for the reasons behind the decline? Scientists didn&amp;#039;t measure smoking or weight in the men, but they assume it has something to do with diets and chemical exposure.  The biggest WTF of this study: Why are they measuring national sperm quality anyway? Don&amp;#039;t they have a few other things to work on\u2014like, maybe the economy? Want more from Meagan?
