Question: Have you heard this about plastics.?
Plastic Ingredient May Cause Smaller Penises

A common chemical ingredient in plastics has been linked to smaller penises and incomplete descent of testicles in baby boys. Phthalates, which are added to plastics to keep them soft and pliable, are linked to a feminizing effect on boy fetuses whose moms had above-average levels of the chemical in their urine while pregnant. Moms who had the highest amounts gave birth to boys with more feminine characteristics.

Scientists have been concerned about the effects of the phthalates, known as DEHP, because rodent studies showed it had a negative effect on the masculinity of young rats.

Current research conducted in three different areas of the United States, showed their concerns were well-founded. Scientists found a definite correlation between levels of the chemical in pregnant moms and a feminizing effect on their sons. They theorize that phthalates may reduce testosterone synthesis.

Phthalates are added to many personal care products including perfume, nail polish and hair spray. They are also included in many cosmetics, but the consumer is unaware because they are not specifically listed on the label, hiding under other items such as fragrances.

Thanks Kitty. I did hear about that type of plastic and its affects on the males. I didn't remember all the details though. All these test are done on rats that are so much smaller than humans and in many times are given in high doses, so therefore, I cannot be sure that it will have the same affect on a human. I guess it's better to be safe than sorry. It's not illegal to do these tests on animals but it is on humans. It may take decades or never to come up with conclusive evidence. If we listen to all these reports, we wouldn't eat or use anything.
I also have heard that laptops can interfere with male sperm count and make men unable to have children. I just want more proof besides test rats. Thanks for enlightening us.Health Question & Answer
