Revealed: Ugali can reduce your sperm count

Kenyans' love for ugali is unrivaled and is one of the staple foods in the country.

A typical Kenyan enjoys the maize-made food with fried or roasted meat, omena or the popular sukuma wiki.

According to IVF specialist Dr Shaunak Khandwala, contaminated ugali has negative effects as it can cause infertility in men because it contains aflatoxins that can reduce the sperm count.

“Obesity, stress, pollutants in the environment, heavy metals in the food we eat and even ugali can cause infertility. Ugali has what we call aflatoxins that can reduce sperm count,” says Dr Khandwala.
