Almost exactly two years ago, I told men to freeze their sperm, and now a study has vindicated my neurotic impulse to bring it up to every dinner party I’m invited to: scientists can’t find a single testicle without microplastics in it.

It’s a baffling finding. The researchers, who tested both animal and dog testicles, found the dangerous chemical is every single sample. "I think we need to first study the question of how microplastics even got there in the first place" Dr. Ranjith Ramasamy, an expert in reproductive urology told Business Insider. "The only two organs in the human body that are protected spaces are the testes and the brain."

And this concerning research comes just days after a separate study found something even more alarming…
