Medicinal cannabis does NOT help treat depression, anxiety or ADHD, reveals review of 83 scientific studies
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/artic...xiety.html
SUMMARY POINTS: Australian scientists looked at 83 studies involving 3,000 people in the analysis. Found no proof cannabinoids relieved symptoms of six mental health disorders (depression, anxiety, ADHD, Tourette syndrome, PTSD or psychosis). Therefore their use to treat the conditions cannot be justified, they concluded.
The male infertility timebomb: One in ten men has problems fathering a child, so what are the disturbing reasons behind this growing health crisis?

SUMMARY POINTS: For most men suffering infertility from low sperm count, the damage was done while in the womb. Processes involved in forming reproductive organs can be disrupted in early months of pregnancy. This also significantly raises men’s risk of illnesses such as cancer in later life.
[...] Male fertility is clearly in crisis. A comprehensive review of evidence in 2017, based on 7,500 studies, shows that sperm counts among Western men have more than halved over the past 40 years. The review authors ... warned that the decline shows ‘no evidence of abating’. In the UK, around one in ten men of all ages suffers from infertility (defined as unsuccessfully attempting pregnancy for a year or longer), according to research from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine published in the journal Human Reproduction in 2016. Other studies indicate that as many as one in five men under 35 has a low sperm count.
British infertility experts are now beginning to explore the root causes of this 21st century plague. Already much of the evidence points to chemical pollutants in the air, water and ground around us as the prime culprit. There is also evidence that parents’ pre-conception lifestyles may affect their children’s health, and even their fertility, and that the problems may be passed on through the parents’ sperm or eggs by changes in the DNA (known as epigenetic changes).
