Research found that pregnant women who ate more than seven beef meals a week had sons with lower sperm concentrations and higher rates of sub-fertility. The study suggests a link between maternal beef consumption and reduced fertility in sons, potentially due to the presence of anabolic steroids and other xenobiotics in beef.
