Are plastic bottles causing low testosterone in men and women?

Plastic water bottles have been linked to low testosterone in males and low libido in both sexes. Today everyone has heard about low testosterone that is in epidemic proportions. This has made an explosive market for prescribed testosterone.

Research shows we have ten thousand times the level of phthalates we did just a decade ago. We get phthalates from many sources, including plastic water bottles.  These phthalates are decreasing blood testosterone in both sexes and at all ages.

We need to understand that environmental exposures and accumulations are not just lead, mercury, other heavy metals and the halides, but we are getting poisoned with endocrine disruptors in air, food and water. Mothers are downloading their toxins into the baby from conception clear up to delivery. If nursing, the toxins are disseminated in the breast milk.  If the baby is on formula, it is possible for the baby to be exposed to the phthalates from the containers that the formula comes in.

Hormone testing and detoxification

It is a constant vigil to detoxify and minimize exposure to inorganic toxins like heavy metals and accumulations of toxic halides etc.  We have a whole new and severe problem with pesticides, dioxins, PBDE, PCB, Bisphenyl A and Phthalates. Nutritional Detox, Foot Baths, Oral Chelation are all important and will need to become an everyday part of our lives to thrive and live healthily. Organic toxins are also carcinogens and neurotoxins. Yet, the public does not have the facts about these toxins and testing for them is limited.
