"The male reproductive system, in particular, seems to be under plastic assault."
"Men with severe erectile dysfunction were found to have up to seven types of plastic in their penises. (That study, published in 2024 by researchers in Miami, was the first to detect microplastics in human penile tissue, which was extracted from six individuals who were undergoing surgery to get an inflatable prosthesis.) Microplastics have also been found in human semen samples. One experiment conducted in China, from October, found that all the semen and urine samples from 113 men contained microplastics. The samples that contained Teflon (the chemical PTFE), which coats cooking utensils, cutting boards, and nonstick pans, had reduced sperm quality, lower total sperm numbers, and reduced motility...."

This will be one hell of a class-action lawsuit. The only question is, who to sue.
That and Fluoride in our drinking water explains alot.
You also have to find low levels of microplastics in people who have no problems.
Do RFK worms eat plastic?
Non stick surfaces in that area a generally considered a good thing.
Never heard of Teflon use on cooking utensils or cutting boards. It’s typically used for its ability to be non-stick in high heat conditions, so it’s typically limited to the pans, baking sheets, waffle irons etc.
That's some confession right there.
Make America Erect Again.
A big spoon the size of a small spoon? Our the reverse?
So, we've got estrogen in the water that may be affecting sperm count and microplastics everywhere affecting erectile function. The war on men is even worse than I thought. And what can we do? We need the plastic, and there's zero chance of getting women to stop using hormonal birth control (I did myself, back in the day - a hormone-infused IUD, at the time (not sure about now) only recommended for women who had had all the children they wanted because any IUD carries risks of creating scar tissue that can interfere with - implantation, if I recall. Since our third child was a surprise and I was already 37, I was fully onboard with using a birth control method with an effectively 0% failure rate.
Sorry, I don't get science from the lefty news media, since they have zero credibility. Not clicking that link.
Why don’t I believe any of this.
My YouTube ads are all for the salt trick- try that…
10cc.
Plastidick?
Without plastic, most of us would be dead.
I'm guessing that we all have a lot of dirt inside us as well.
How to explain all of us men who were unwittingly exposed to Teflon on a daily basis for years, and never had any problems regarding either the process or the production?
Also--Covid should have been a lesson in Chinese "science."

Is that a Lego or are you just happy to see me?
If it's a problem for males, it doesn't matter. People in education feel terrible about "the gap" between black and white performance but don't care about the substantial gap between males and females. Even though it is obvious that present day schools operate in ways that disadvantage males.
If you think microplastics are a problem for men just take a look at their effect on some women...have you seen Lauren Sanchez lately? Poor dear.
Men with severe erectile dysfunction were found to have up to seven types of plastic in their penises.
Rush Limbaugh used to invoke the following phrase:
"Phony baloney plastic banana good time rock n rollers."
"Just. One. Word... Plastics."
My wife uses teflon cookware, I was always worried some of the coating crap is ending up in my gullet, now I know it is. Well, its too l late now.
“I'm guessing that we all have a lot of dirt inside us as well.”
We’re pretty much made of dirt.
“ Men with severe erectile dysfunction were found to have up to seven types of plastic in their penises.”
But did they cut open the dongs of men without ED to see if they had plastic in them too? You would think that “scientists” would want to do that if they claim that plastic causes ED.
From Wiki “ Plastic items labelled as 'biodegradable', but that only break down into smaller pieces like microplastics, or into smaller units that are not biodegradable, are not an improvement over conventional plastic.[”
The problem is that feel good environmental policies always have unintended consequences that do more harm than good. We are probably killing people for some stupid evnirolark like biodegradable plastic.
