Endocrine Disruptors - Common Chemicals That Severely Alter Your Hormones - Dr. Shanna Swan


It is important to be skeptical of claims.  This person could be correct, but her claims are not without controversy.  She doesn't offer evidence.  I'm not saying she has to in a YouTube video, but she needs to point us toward the evidence.

My concern is that you can have a causal link between two things but that is not proof of causality.  I'm concerned about "single-factor analysis" where only one factor is considered.  

I would like to see more research.  

Plastic is getting a bad reputation, and some of it seems justified.  We are exposed to chemicals from plastic.



"Fears over falling human sperm count may be overblown — Harvard Gazette

Richardson and her colleagues found that earlier research claimed causal links between declining sperm counts and declining fertility, as well as between exposures to certain environmental chemicals and lower sperm counts. The GenderSci Lab researchers found that neither of these assumptions are supported by scientific or geographic evidence."
