By National File Friday, March 26, 2021 DR. SHANNA SWAN, A PROFESSOR OF ENVIRONMENTAL MEDICINE & PUBLIC HEALTH AT MOUNT SINAI HEALTH SYSTEM, HAS WARNED IN A NEW BOOK THAT PHTHALATES, A CHEMICAL COMMONLY USED IN THE MANUFACTURING OF PLASTICS, CAN SHRINK PENISES AND DECREASE MALE FERTILITY. A STUDY LISTED IN THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR BIOTECHNOLOGY INFORMATION, WHICH OPERATES UNDER THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF MEDICINE AND THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH, FOUND THAT THE MICROPLASTICS USED IN THE MANUFACTURING OF COVID FACE MASKS CONTAIN A NUMBER OF TOXIC CHEMICALS, INCLUDING THE *****-SHRINKING PHTHALATES. PHTHALATES LINKED TO ****** SHRINKAGE Dr. Swansโs book โCount Down: How Our Modern World Is Threatening ***** Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Raceโ warns that humanity is facing an โexistential crisisโ in fertility rates as a direct result of the chemical phthalates, and most men may be infertile by 2045.
As Sky News reported, Dr. Swan found that โmale human babies who had been exposed to the phthalates in the womb had a shorter anogenital distance โ something that correlated with ****** volume.โ Dr. Swanโs research also discovered that rats exposed to phthalates were born with shrunken genitals.
Other sources have also documented the link between phthalates and decreased male fertility. WebMD reported in 2009 on a study by Swan that found young boys whose mothers were exposed to high levels of phthalates were more likely to exhibit non-masculine behavior and less likely to โplay with trucks and other male-typical toys or to play fight.โ
A doctor who reviewed Swanโs study for WebMD found โexposure to the chemicals can cause a wide range of male reproductive harm, including undescended testicles, birth defects of the genitals, and infertility later in life.โ
