Topic - Common Household Chemicals And Diseases In Men
Many containers and products including children’s toys, food packaging and medications have chemicals in them that effect men. In a study of fifteen hundred men, ninety-nine percent of them had a specific chemical, phthalate, in their urine. High levels of phthalate are associated with chronic conditions such as heart disease, type-2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Years ago, I read about a town in the US where the men were becoming infertile and developing female traits. As it turned out, they were eating vegetables from cans that were lined with a material containing chemicals that mimicked estrogen. Their blood had high levels of female hormones. It’s not just about the foods we actually eat, but how they’re packaged as well as the products we use to clean our homes that slowly erode our health. Educate yourselves about the products you’re using and how your food is packaged.
