Snippet from the article:
Healthy young men with a Western-style diet may be able to boost their sperm quality by eating a small packet of walnuts a day.
These are the findings of a new study that shows healthy American men in their 20s and 30s who ate a 75g (2.5 ozs) packet of walnuts a day were able to increase the vitality, motility and structure of their sperm compared to counterparts who did not eat walnuts.
A report on the study appeared online on 15 August in the Biology of Reproduction journal’s papers-in-press section.
Infertility and subfertility is a common problem that affects about 70 million couples worldwide. Between a third and a half of cases are due to poor semen quality in the male partner, with scientists giving a number of reasons for this in industrialized societies: pollution, unhealthy lifestyles and the Western-style diet cited amongst them.

The study included 117 men (between 21 to 35 years old) and was partially funded by the California Walnut Commission.
