Chemicals in plastic bottles are weakening our boys Teen

Have you ever wondered why so many teenage girls in early puberty in these days, and the guys behind?

Plastics contain synthetic estrogens have been emasculated our boys (and lead precocious puberty, our girls) are on display along with some other factors, according to a family physician and research psychologist Leonard Sax, these plastic bottles of lemonade, water and other beverages.

Five factors contribute to the growing number of low-performing boys and men,by Sax One is the fact that boys and men synthetic estrogens obtained as contaminants from plastic water and soda bottles, baby bottles, pacifiers and toys for children provided. Sax water and soda bottles identified with a number from 1 recycled as the most common culprits. These elements contain BPA and phthalates, synthetic estrogen to soften the plastic.

This is not a surprise. There is a debate among scientists about the amount of these chemicals is harmful.Animal studies, the amount you need to locate to cause cancer, the industry will be used as a benchmark, so that the tracks are not sufficient to cause cancer.

Sax is the question of how estrogen affects a male? Over the past two decades, many of us drink our water from plastic bottles. In fact, he changed the soda manufacturer of aluminum cans, plastic bottles. This makes us part of a huge experiment to study the effects of estrogen administration inMales. Evade the question whether it can cause cancer, says Sax, who believes makes young men quiet, and the causes of delayed puberty.

Four other factors, and plastic additives together to promote a group of men and boys do not grow, says Sax He cited a study that found 25 years ago, had only 8 percent of men aged between 35 and 40 not is still married. In 2006, however, were still up 22 percent in this category, and number. (NYT,08/06/2006, "Facing middle age with no degree and no woman," O'Donnell and Porter)

The proportion of men aged 18-35 living at home with parents or relatives has doubled in the last 30 years. Meanwhile, 36 percent of children in the United States in 2004 were born to unmarried women. These statistics cut across all demographic groups.

Congress, with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, is a ban on phthalates in products for children under 12 years sold in August 2009. Thisinclude baby bottles and pacifiers.

The authority for the food and beverage and its container, the FDA, the Food and Drug Administration. In the controversy over BPA, the FDA decides to prove the safety of the 11 studies funded by industry that BPA is believing. But there are 104 independently funded studies that show it is dangerous Catherine Zandonella, MPH, writing in The Green Guide, an online magazine.

Therefore, let the buyer beware. Avoid drinks in plastic bottles (# 1, 3,or 7 on the ground, if you want to check). In particular, that the bottles filled with hot, a condition in which the chemical than Leach. Also, avoid drinking soda from these bottles because the acid is the chemical from water. And avoid the heat in the microwave in plastic containers.

Sax identified four other factors, the epidemic of men who did not grow:

* Requirements to sit still in kindergarten. Children are taught these daysto read in kindergarten, at an age when most kids are not ready. So start to hate school.

* Video Games

* ADHD Drugs

* The lack of cultural traditions emphasize the transition to manhood
