I find the new fear about "estrogenic chemicals" to be kind of amusing. I mean, of course, we're surrounded by toxins, and sure, it's worth some effort to avoid some of those toxins, but the amusing part is that if someone really wants to scare you about a toxin, they don't tell you that it will make you stupid or give you cancer; they imply that it will make you less of a man.
- makomk 12y agoEstrogenic chemicals like BPA do cause problems other than "making you less of a man", though, including cancer - and the linked article focuses almost entirely on those other problems, with its estrogen-mimicing properties mentioned only in passing.
