Judging from some animal experiments that can be seen at present, the spermicidal results of celery are not consistent. Studies have shown that giving birth to celery juice will reduce the sperm density of mice, leading to a decline in sperm motility. However, other studies have found that the sperm density of mice has no obvious effect, and sperm motility has even improved.

Celery contains something called apigenin, also called apigenin, which is a kind of flavone. Scientists have experimented with apigenin and found that it seems to be toxic to the testicles of mice and has a negative impact on the reproductive ability of female mice. But the dose determines the toxicity, and the content of apigenin in celery is usually less than one thousandth.

Extended data:

Dietary fiber in leafy vegetables such as celery and leek is mainly insoluble cellulose, lignin and other components that cannot be digested by human body. They help defecation by stimulating intestinal peristalsis. So celery laxatives make sense, but they also need to be matched with other diets.

In addition, because the dietary fiber of celery basically does not participate in metabolism, it has limited effect on controlling and relieving diabetes, hyperlipidemia and hypertension. Finally, I need to remind you that celery is good, but it is meaningless to overemphasize some health benefits of food.
