35% Higher Risk of Birth Defects Linked to Alcohol Use Before Conception – Explain

Explain shared a post on LinkedIn:

“NEW STUDY: Men who drink alcohol before conception could raise the risk of birth defects by up to 35%!

Research in The European Journal of Preventive Cardiology shows alcohol can affect sperm DNA, motility, and gene expression, impacting long-term development.

Experts now suggest a 90-day alcohol-free reset for healthier sperm, embryos, and babies.”
