Many pthalates and other well-known and harmful chemicals (for instance, BPAs) are very common in plastics and are called estrogen-mimicing. That's because they are structured similarly to estrogen and have similar hormonal effects. They break down very slowly and stick around for a long time.

I've often wondered if much of the weakening of our society, the emergency of "soy boys" as a major bloc, etc., comes down to all of these chemicals in our food and water that are literally feminizing men.

Stop eating fast food.
