Study warns plastics could be shrinking penises
NYPost ^ | July 26, 2018

There are lots of reasons not to use plastic – but this one might come as a shock.

Chemicals in everyday items, from household cleaners to food packaging, can damage a man’s penis – and make it smaller.

Phthalates, BPA and parabens are to blame for a rise in the number of baby boys being born with genital defects, experts have warned.

Dr. Andrew Pask and Dr. Mark Green, from the University of Melbourne, said in Australia penis birth defects have doubled in recent years, due to plastic use. To prove the link, they looked at the results when humans and animals were exposed to the chemicals. They were specifically looking for a defect called hypospadia, where the opening of the penis is on the underside rather than the tip, causing problems with function.

The pair identified several chemicals known to cause damage to humans, that we either consume through food or water contamination.

Couldn’t possibly have anything to do with contraceptives in the water supply. Nope, gotta be that evil petroleum.

Don’t know if the study is valid or not, but I HATE plastic. Not for environmental reasons; I just don’t like the stuff. But then, I like old stuff: glass refrigerator dishes, metal lunch boxes with leaky thermoses, waxed paper, wrapping your garbage in newspaper and paper grocery bags, and carrying it out to the back yard and burning it in your trash barrel. City dumps with tin cans and old broken junk, instead of huge landfills that pollute our drinking water or get floated off in barges in big cities, to some place that can’t say no, because they need the money.
I know plastic is a wonder, especially in the medical supply field, but other than that, I kinda wish we didn’t have the stuff. But then I’m a luddite. And a xenophobe.

It’s a full-on war on plastic straws, and anything and everything will be done to uphold the agenda.

My primary complaint against plastic is that it cannot be repaired.

Merchants love disposable crap!
