Will stop drinking water from plastic bottles though and no more food stuffs in plastic containers. Ok that might be a bit drastic but cutting down on it anyways  | ||

In other news, reptiles also change gender depending on temperature. In other other news, mammals aren't really susceptible in the same way. Calm down guys. You're going to remain guys. | ||

I have little to no knowledge in the field and am not an avid reader of newspapers or sth. but I have been aware of the fact that estrogen can (so far) not be cleaned out of the water supply for years. Maybe you just didn't get the memo ? The "I don't know of it so it can't exist" argument seems pretty weak to me. I'm not saying it doesn't exist. I'm saying the levels in drinking water have no measurable effect on humans. | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.brokenprojector.com/images/dr-strangelove1.jpg) Ripper: Mandrake? Mandrake: Yes, Jack? Ripper: Have you ever seen a Commie drink a glass of water? Mandrake: Well, I can't say I have. Ripper: Vodka, that's what they drink, isn't it? Never water? Mandrake: Well, I-I believe that's what they drink, Jack, yes. Ripper: On no account will a Commie ever drink water, and not without good reason. Mandrake: Oh, eh, yes. I, uhm, can't quite see what you're getting at, Jack. Ripper: Water, that's what I'm getting at, water. Mandrake, water is the source of all life. Seven-tenths of this earth's surface is water. Why, do you realize that seventy percent of you is water? Mandrake: Uh, uh, Good Lord! Ripper: And as human beings, you and I need fresh, pure water to replenish our precious bodily fluids. Mandrake: Yes. (he begins to chuckle nervously) Ripper: Are you beginning to understand? Mandrake: Yes. (more laughter) Ripper: Mandrake. Mandrake, have you never wondered why I drink only distilled water, or rain water, and only pure-grain alcohol? Mandrake: Well, it did occur to me, Jack, yes. Ripper: Have you ever heard of a thing called fluoridation. Fluoridation of water? Mandrake: Uh? Yes, I-I have heard of that, Jack, yes. Yes. Ripper: Well, do you know what it is? Mandrake: No, no I don't know what it is, no. Ripper: Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face? | ||

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health/americans-have-twice-as-much-bpa-in-their-bodies-as-canadians/article1916197/ There was a lot of talk about this a couple months ago. They believe that this plastic could be a major reason as to why girls are hitting puberty at a younger and younger age as well as the average cup size in america going up a whole size over the last 20 years. | ||

They believe that this plastic could be a major reason as to why girls are hitting puberty at a younger and younger age as well as the average cup size in america going up a whole size over the last 20 years. 1. Obesity in the US has exploded the last decades. 2. Obesity includes lots of fat, which gives an increase in estrogen production. 3. This means fat people get bigger boobs and fat girls in to puberty earlier. The major reason is that Americans are eating too much and moving around too little (just like most of the western world). This makes people fat. Fat people have bigger boobs (as I'm sure you've noticed). Also, the normal control for when girls hit puberty is the amount of fat they have. The fatter you are, the earlier you are going to reach the amount of fat needed to produce the amount of estrogen needed, ergo fat girls go in to puberty earlier. BPA MIGHT have toxic effects on fetuses. There is basicly no concern that it has any effect on already born people (in the amounts measured in people today).

Ofcourse ingesting less of something that is just plain bad for you is LESS bad than ingesting MORE. But that still means it is BAD FOR YOU. No. Your body is made to take care of small amount of toxic stuff all the time. Many things considered toxic are in fact needed for your survivial in small enough doses. Likewise, most things you eat normally and consider healthy is toxic in large enough doses (water for example, many vitamins etc.) and will kill you. So that logic isn't flawed at all. It's perfectly reasonable. | ||

Or would you just like to admit that you have no study or evidence to back up what you're saying what so ever. | ||
