If you ever needed a reason to save the planet, fellas you may want to start recycling!
Dr. Shanna Swan made the shocking claim in her new book stating that based on her research, male penises are getting historically smaller due to manufacturing byproducts. Swan, a professor of environmental medicine and public at NYC's Mount Sinai Hospital, has the knowledge and has done the research to know this!
The byproduct she is referring to is called phthalates, which are chemicals created in the production of plastics. When phthalates are exposed to the human endocrine system, it messes with our natural hormone process, which is what is causing the "shrinkage" that Dr. Swan says is affecting our reproductive organs.
She cites multiple different peer-reviewed studies in her findings, which also say there's a bad trend of modern-day children born with noticeably shorter members. Thus, she directly links to the phthalates she says are seeping into our toys and even some foods we eat.
Dr. Swan continued stating the same effect was observed in rat fetuses exposed to phthalates. Unfortunately, it's also being seen in humans as well. This is what Dr. Swan calls a crisis in the making.
This, a just a piece of the overall bigger problem, that men's sperm count and viable sperm world-wide is plummeting. Dr. Swan estimates that if this continues at the rate it's at now. we run the risk of being impotent by 2045.
Freeze your sperm fellas! Check out a long interview with Dr. Swan discussing the matter below.
