Sex study done in China...hmmm...do I think the gov was trying out something to slow reproduction down? Anything coming out of China save a durable good is suspect IMO and even then it must be considered disposable in a few years.

wrong, Mike. The study was published in a major US scientific journal and thoroughly reviewed. It confirms a large number of studies done on animals.

water and foods stored in plastic containers pick up plasticizers - even worse, many people buy something at the supermarket that is in a plastic container and then pop it into the microwave to warm it up. BAD IDEA - the heat greatly accelerates migration of chemicals into the food.

Here is a fun Fact for you all: the avg. US male today is 1/4 the man his Grandpa was -- sperm volume and viability is down to 1/4 of what it used to be. THis new study shows that performance is down too.

Only very tiny amounts of Bisph.-A are required to disrupt endocrine systems b/c it alters hormone balance. More conventional toxins have to present in much higher concentrations to cause negative effects.

But hormones are communications or signaling molecules that regulate growth, development and physiological state - it takes very little alteration to mess them up.
