What’s more cruel and terrifying than a lethal gas chamber? How about a gas chamber that exposes you to pro-estrogen gas that slowly, yet continuously, quite literally will rob you of your manhood.  What if I told you that, unless you’re reading this outside, you’re in that gas chamber right now?  Well I’d be terrified.

The truth is that most homes, offices and even gyms contain plastics and a lot of these plastics contain a nasty substance called “Phthalates”.

“A Phthalate or phthalate esters, are esters of phthalic acid and are mainly used as plasticizers (substances added to plastics to increase their flexibility, transparency, durability, and longevity).”

(Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phthalate)

The nasty thing about phthalates is that they readily degrade and release their pro-estrogenic gases into the air you breathe.

“Phthalates are easily released into the environment. In general, they do not persist in the outdoor environment due to biodegradation, photodegradation, and anaerobic degradation. Outdoor air concentrations are higher in urban and suburban areas than in rural and remote areas.

In general, indoor air concentrations are higher than outdoor air concentrations due to the nature of the sources. Because of their volatility, DEP and DMP are present in higher concentrations in air in comparison with the heavier and less volatile DEHP. Higher air temperatures result in higher concentrations of phthalates in the air. PVC flooring leads to higher concentrations of BBP and DEHP, which are more prevalent in dust. A 2012 Swedish study of children found that phthalates from PVC flooring were taken up into their bodies, showing that children can ingest phthalates not only from food but also by breathing and through the skin.”

If by now you aren’t looking angrily around your room, looking at all the plastic objects staring back at you, feeling disgusted with the companies that create these – then, what are you doing here?  This is not science fiction - this is the scientific truth!

What do I suggest?  Well the obvious being: GO OUTSIDE!  Go outside often: eat your lunch outside, take after dinner strolls with your loved one, find a gym that is considered “open air”, remove as many plastics from the rooms you spend many hours in i.e. your bedroom.

Conclusion:

I know that it is damn near impossible to not own or surround yourself with any plastics, but a simple suggestion is to replace as many plastic objects with stainless steel (SS) ones.  Your water bottles? They make them SS.  Food containers? They make them SS.  Appliances? They make them SS.

Like I said, these aren’t myths; it’s cold hard scientific fact that plastics degrade into the air you breathe as pro-estrogenic chemicals.  Do what you can to protect yourself, fellahs!

We are advocates of your goals!
