Have you wondered why many teen girls are reaching puberty early these days, and boys late? Plastics containing synthetic estrogens have been emasculating our boys (and bringing precocious puberty to our girls), along with some other factors, according to family physician and research psychologist Leonard Sax. These plastics are found in bottles holding soda, water, and other beverages. Five factors contribute to the increasing numbers of underachieving boys and men, according to Sax. One of these is the fact that boys and men are receiving synthetic estrogens as contaminants provided by plastic water and soda bottles, baby bottles, baby toys, and pacifiers. Sax identifies water and soda bottles with a recycling number of 1 as the most prevalent culprits. These items contain BPA and phthalates, synthetic estrogens for softening the plastic.
This is not a surprise. There’s been a debate among scientists about how much of these chemicals is harmful. Animal studies pinpointed the amount needed to cause cancer; the industry used that as a benchmark, allowing trace amounts that supposedly aren’t enough to cause cancer. Sax asks the question, how does taking estrogen affect a male? In the past decade or two, many of us have been drinking our water from plastic bottles. In fact, the soda manufacturers switched from aluminum cans to plastic bottles. This makes us part of an enormous experiment evaluating the effect of taking estrogen on males. Sidestepping the question of whether it might cause cancer, Sax says he thinks it makes young males placid, and causes delayed puberty.
