LIMIT YOUR CONTACT WITH PLASTIC

337. LIMIT YOUR CONTACT WITH PLASTIC One of the perils these days for males is exposure to what are called environmental estrogens. In simple terms, many of the synthetic plastics that we use for storing food are laced with chemicals that increase the level of the female hormone estrogen. Ironically much of the food we eat is stored in such containers. To reduce your exposure to such estrogen-raising compounds, try to eat only fresh food and limit your reliance on stored food. In addition, most herbicides and pesticides mimic estrogen. Avoid using these products around your home and try to eat as much organic food as possible.
