I’m not denying the importance of the information about phthalates and other chemicals on the reproductive health of our own and other species. It’s just that two or three chapters (the length of a well-written feature article) would have served the same purpose. They know that porn watching can cause ED. But why hasn’t anyone looked into the testosterone draining effects of excessive masturbation? The ancient Romans weren’t allowed to have sex during summer war campaigns so as not to deplete their “manliness.” Why would that be any less true today? Sultans with harems were generally infertile after age thirty, that was a known thing. A major change that has happened in the last forty years that no one talks about is that young men are masturbating a lot more than they ever have in the history of the human race. (This is an assumption based on the fact that it is accepted and even encouraged today whereas in the past our ancestors discouraged it in almost every culture.) Why has that not been studied as a source of testosterone depletion?Printable Christmas countdown journal- worksheets for pre-school- activity book for kids- toddlers winter busy book Count Down builds upon this and a plethora of other research findings that all point to one terrifying fact: our modern lifestyles are having deleterious effects on fertility and reproductive health, not only in humans, but in other species as well. Persistent chemical pollutants in our households, air, oceans, drinking water and food supply are having measurable effects on our ability to reproduce. Left unabated, this will inevitably have tragic consequences for our future here on this planet. Shahid, Sharnaz (14 October 2020).

Again, pretty much everything I wrote above I previously read in much more cogently argued articles that are widely available. What was not covered in those articles was the question of whether or not the sudden rise in the number of gender dysphoria cases might be caused by greater exposure to anti-androgenic chemicals or endocrine disrupters (either in utero or prior to puberty). I previously assumed this phenomenon was largely (or even exclusively) the result of social contagion (i.e. teens and young adults pushing boundaries and trying to be popular or relevant). So in all honesty this question was rather intriguing and I was curious to see what the data showed. Sadly, the author spent roughly an eighth of the book speculating without any evidence one way or the other. But rest assured, she made sure to state multiple times that even if toxic chemicals are responsible for gender dysphoria, the rise of gender fluidity is something to be celebrated and embraced. OK.

What is causing this? Authors Shanna Swan, a reproductive and environmental epidemiologist, and Stacey Colino sum it up in a few words. “If it sounds like we’re living in an alphabet soup of evil chemicals, well, we are.” There are many evil chemicals that risk our health and existence, but the worst are endocrine disruptors, a class of chemicals that disrupt hormone function. Chief among these chemicals are phthalates, a key component of plastics. Endocrine disruptors negatively affect our reproductive health which has led to a low fertility among humans, and even a declining interest in sex in general. Human fetuses in the womb are also negatively affected by the endocrine disruptors. And we’re not the only creatures being adversely affected. The horror extends to the fish in the sea, the birds and bees in the air – to every living creature. Some of the reasons for fertility issues stem from people have children at older ages. While this unfortunately affects women more, men also have declining fertility as they age. The other main reason highlighted in the book was the presence of endocrine disruptors, which have not been thoroughly regulated and affect many populations- not just human ones. Regulation of the chemical industry then appears to be more serious than previously thought and many common chemicals may be culprits from cosmetics to pesticides to air fresheners. The problem is that it seems nearly impossible to avoid all of them!

I know many people opting to have one child instead of two solely based on the rising cost of raising children in the United States. It is strange that she never delves into this topic as Universal Child Care is a hot button issue whose day has come. No one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades.' Lee Child There has been almost a 50% decline in sperm count in the last 40 years, partially relating to environmental factors.
