On the topic of plastics:
peer reviewed Oxford Med. study excerpt:

In short: We all have 29% less Testosterone and humanity becomes infertile.

So, stop using plastic!
The planet is alrdy gone but your hair could still be saved!

Why is my name in the title.

I'd be willing to give up some of my Testosterone. I've got plenty of it anyways.

I had thought u were convinced n were going 2 save ur hair. Then u posted ur doubts.

Well, I think it takes more than a 1 min WebMD YouTube video. I'm reading the study nowsh.

Yea its a major problem man's masculanity is not accepted by modern society, most guys are unaware of feeling like a man.
Before any bullshit response, i define being man with having biological properties, majorly testestrone. boys are not considered man because of low T. Thus there are more "manly" males.

It's only on the measured presence of plastics in urine. If you want an intro into this 50-year-old debate watch this CBC doc: The disappearing Male

It's an oldie but goodie. Since then EU bans have emerged and slowly the worry over plastic chemicals in our foods has become more mainstream. But I remember friends would poke fun at me for not drinking Korean beer from plastic bottles but always Grolsch in glass bottles. Well, looky here:

We all have 29% less Testosterone and humanity becomes infertile.

That explains a lot about the modern world.

Read the abstract and Radix's statement is not wholly correct, unless you're aged 6-12.

Be careful making conclusions out of this study. Correlation is mostlynegative but far from significant in any of the relevant groups.
Also fluctuation of free T levels within a certain range is normal (btw this is sierum T level) and the study admits "Some weaknesses of this study include ... unmeasured or residual confounding (eg, diet, medications)".
In general the analyses is just explorative and they admit there are many weaknesses.

This is just Radix trying to blame his tits and 0.5 inch dick on plastic

Yeah AFAIK from my brief stints on steroid forums T fluctuates a lot between people and within allowable medical limits. That's what I was looking up now from a source more legitimate than a user who's named "eatclentrenhard" but actually I've just given up and will make maybe a more conscious decision to not microwave so much in pyrex for a week, tops, then continue with my rather short sighted outlook on life.

Regardless, I don't think it can be so easily dismissed either. Endocrine disrupting chemicals ARE having negative impacts on our environment, ARE fucking with indicator species, if not us, and ARE everywhere. We did a report on the effects EDCs have on frogs for an environmental engineering lab. I remember because my liberal brainwashing university made me report on the many positive impacts this could mean for human society at large -- I mean if men began to turn into biological women /s

I'd be interested in knowing Radix's concentration of EDCs in his own urine knowing his efforts to avoid them.

My bpa and phthalates levels are as high as yours. We cannot avoid them. They're in everything, especially fats/oils so ur cheese, meats, cookies, candies etc. However a gaming forum isn't a place to discuss this but u showed some interest. A senator who took real care to eat all organic and avoid plastics wherever possible had her blood tested so I don't make any illusions about my levels being any lower than hers.

I've been aware of this for so long and have seen how public opinion is slowly changing against the lobby of big companies in Europe.I also see that many people aren't concerned at all, but the more you are faced with dangers, the more you choose to ignore it. For instance, some time ago news surfaced that the Italian mob has been dumping chemical waste for decades on Italian farmlands causing higher rates of cancer in those villages. The waste dumping hasn't stopped, the concern has. This is human nature. I stopped eating Italian tomatoes and Bonduelle. I can spell hell and damnation, link 100s of reports or docs but if people aren't concerned about toxic waste dumpings all over Europe, nobody will over something something measured in parts per billions. I can talk about European bans, 2 different production streams for Bonduelle tin linings (one for France one for Europe), Indian reservations, Dupont/ Glaxo lobbying, hermaphrodite fish in Amsterdam canals, young children, infertility etc.

But nothing will convince anyone who isn't worried about food/toxins/environment already.
Instead I'll say this:

Pancreas

Dunning Kruger
Most students at my school (High IQ- gifted students) use metal water bottles.
Most students at my previous school (vocational) squeezed their plastic cola bottles and drank it.
More research is required--> 4 yr re-election mantra.


Use this info or ridicule it idc. but we can all agree on 1 thing:
Nobody needs plastic in their body blocking their pancreas.
