Plastic can shrink the size of your penis | Chronic

Two Australian researchers from the University of Melbourne, Andrew Pask and Mark Green claim that some chemicals found in plastics are responsible for reducing the size of male bads and that more and more males are born with defects in this organ.

According to The Sydney Morning Herald the researchers based their findings on the study of animals exposed to the said chemicals, as well as on the badysis of human data showing that the rates of 39, hypospadias – a conbad anomaly of the penis – increased twice in Australia.

According to Pask, the chemicals that can affect humans this way are BPA, phthalates (both are used in plastics), parabens (in toothpastes and cosmetics) and atrazine (a herbicide). " Exposure to these chemicals is the number one reproductive problem for men ," the researcher was quoted as saying. "

" When rates double, they can not be genetic defects: they take years to spread in a population, so we know that it must be of environmental origin "said Pask.

Also, the scientist points to studies that show that exposure to chemicals known as endocrine disruptors can reduce the size of the penis, although it is not safe to use. There is still no population-level data to support this link.

The article points out that the country's government regulators are rejecting this relationship between chemicals and human health, "he said. Other scientists follow that it is possible that there are some plastics, according to the note, that can release chemicals that resemble human bad hormones. exposure to these products may cause reproductive problems, whereas, for the moment, it has not been shown to affect humans.
