Florence Boitrelle Highlights HEAL Report Calling for Action on Environmental Risks to Fertility
Florence Boitrelle, Professor of Reproductive Biology at Be and Believe, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Minute info: the complete European report on the environment and the reproductive (and global) health of men! Congratulations and thank you to Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL) and Dr. Rossella Cannarella for this edifying report that deserves to be widely distributed! As a former president of the SALF Société d’Andrologie de langue Française (French society of andrology), a member of several learned societies and president of an association that fights for healthy and inclusive environments, I can only relay and add my voice to this report! Thank you very much to Rossella for associating me with this process. Let’s go to change our environment!
The human species lives in an environment that is potentially toxic for its reproduction and overall health. Observing negative changes in human health in a time scale as short as fifty years could be linked to the environment. The hashtag#environnement can indeed influence gene expression, this is called epigenetic. That is to say, we are seeing the appearance of a kind of ‘marks in our DNA’ that would play a negative role on sperm production, fertility, reproductive health and more broadly on overall health. These epigenetic marks are transmissible to our children, but we must act, because these epigenetic marks are also reversible in certain circumstances. We need everyone to return to a ‘health-friendly’ and ‘health reproductive -friendly’ environment. Reversing the trend of the next 50 years begins, environmentally speaking, today.
