Short blog post for today.
Watched this video, the Disappearing Male, last night.
Give it a watch.
Teaser:
The Disappearing Male is
a CBC documentary about one of the most important, and least
publicized, issues facing the human species: the toxic threat to the
male reproductive system. The last few decades have seen steady and
dramatic increases in the incidence of boys and young men suffering
from genital deformities, low sperm count, sperm abnormalities and
testicular cancer. At the same time, boys are now far more at risk of
suffering from ADHD, autism, Tourette's syndrome, cerebral palsy, and
dyslexia. The Disappearing Male takes a close and disturbing look at
what many doctors and researchers now suspect are responsible for many
of these problems: a class of common chemicals that are ubiquitous in
our world. Found in everything from shampoo, sunglasses, meat and dairy
products, carpet, cosmetics and baby bottles, they are called "hormone
mimicking" or "endocrine disrupting" chemicals and they may be starting
to damage the most basic building blocks of human development

I watched this documentary a few months back, when the issue was mention on T-nation. Seriously scary stuff. Even more terrifying, however, is the fact that a lot of people don't believe it.
Nice to see someone plugging Canadian TV! Thanks Nate, I'll have to find time to watch it in the next few days.
Hey nate, the hyperlink actually send us back to this blog post. Not sure if you meant that or not, but I thought it would be a link to the video itself.

Thanks Matt. Just fixed the link.

Scary stuff is right - thanks for giving this more light -
...As radical post-feminists all over the world rejoice! lol.
Disturbing stuff -- I've bookmarked the video. Do you think there is a way to offset these ubiquitous chemicals?
We are so fucked. 3 out of my 3 roommates think this doc is propaganda.
Crazy, but I'm sure it's something that needs to be researched more as well. Including how to prevent it.

Interesting but not a far-fetched set of findings. We are, indeed, living in the age of man-made mutation.
That's why I go lift some heavy shit, head butt the wall a few times to check that I'm still a "man". Things have been getting wussified.....really. It is hard to influence certain things that are happening around us which are scary (so scary you wanna keep a blind eye to it sometimes), but I feel that we should work on taking care of the things we can influence, which is eating healthy, training (I feel everyone on here has a good idea of what I mean by that :) ) and living a balanced lifestyle (I guess Im just trying to say we should keep stress to a minimum.
And I have to check for the morning wood to make sure the T levels are where they need to be :)
I have never been more terrified.....
I give my mom a tremendous amount of credit for enduring all the constant complaining from both me and my brother as well as ridicule from her friends for bringing us up like "hippies"
I have both ADHD & tourette's, whats wrong with that? I'm an engineering student & have no problems with women or my genital area ;) I don't see these things making me any less of a man...
Though they sure made life a bitch growing up. :)
I don't understand how anyone can think that being exposed to chemicals is an ok thing. A few weeks ago my Uncle (who works for Dupont) said he can't imagine there is any harm done by plastics, pesticides, etc.
Eventually, people will wake up to this as they do to most everything. It might be 100-200 years before that happens though. Scary to think about what the world may look like then.
I dont get it?
