Ill say its more evolutionary . Our bodies are probably hardwired into being able to reproduce at a young age due to mortality rates / life expectancies . If you don't use it you lose it as time progresses.

I think it would be shortsighted to think that birth control pills could not affect fertility. Many girls today start taking those at like 16 to "help with their acne". It seems like many people are waiting to around 30 to have kids. To be on a pill that alters the hormones in your body for 14 years and expect it to just bounce back to where it needs to be seems impossible.

I wasn't talking about that part. There are positive medical benefits for some people with it.

I was talking about how it effects long term fertility. It just seems like he made that up.

He said the word "seems", so his observation is really not open to that strict of an interpretation.

With that word usage, he is telling you pretty plainly that he is not using the scientific method.

I was referring to his last sentence.

At a party this weekend, a craftbeer-worship dude told me that all Bud and Miller Lite products, as well as Rolling Rock (owned by Bud) use GMO products.

It's how you increase production in everything.

I dont drink any of those, not for that reason, but I think it's pretty damn simple to figure out how kids of today are deathly allergic to so many things.

That is why I am asking if he is just making it up.

It would be a pretty big story if there was a study that said "birth control" = "long term infertility issues".

It just sounds like another one of those things people just invent out of thin air.

It's probably a combination of a lot of things mentioned if it is in fact becoming more prevalent.

I would also think that with all the ways to overcome infertility now, more people are passing on those genes than would have in the past so the cycle continues.
