Here are some graphs about sperm counts declining over time. Figure 1: above Figure 3: above Below graph. Why is this linked to plastic products? Because most plastic products need phthalates (thal-ates) to make it flexible and usable, otherwise the plastic is so brittle it’s useless. BPA is one of the phthalates which has been studied. BPA acts just like estrogen in the body, and has other bad effects on the endocrine system. So some manufacturers simply used a different phthalate to make BPA-free containers, phthalates which are unstudied, with no idea if it’s safe or not.
