Plummeting sperm counts, shrinking penises: toxic chemicals threaten humanity
It may come sooner than we think, thanks to hormonal disruptive chemicals that are reducing fertility at an alarming rate around the world. A new book called Countdown by Shanna Swan, an environmental and reproductive epidemiologist at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, has sperm counts. It has decreased by almost 60% since 1973…Swan research along the path we are on suggest Sperm counts can reach zero by 2045. zero. Let’s sink it. That means there are no babies. No duplication. There are no humans anymore. Forgive me for the question: why isn’t the United Nations convening an emergency meeting on this now?
The chemicals that cause this crisis can be found in everything from plastic containers and food packaging to waterproof clothing and perfumes for cleaning products, soaps and shampoos, electronics and carpets. Some of them, called PFAS, are known as “eternal chemicals” because they do not decompose in the environment or the human body. They just accumulate and accumulate – doing more and more damage every minute, every hour, every day. Now, humanity seems to have reached the limit.
The swan book is amazing in its discovery. “In some parts of the world, the average woman in her twenties today is less fertile than her grandmother was 35,” Swan wrote. In addition, Swan found that, on average, today’s men have half the sperm that their grandfather had. “The current state of reproductive problems cannot last longer without threatening human survival,” Swan wrote. “It’s a global existential crisis.” It’s not an exaggeration. It’s just science.
As if this wasn’t scary enough, Swan’s study not only drastically reduces the quality of semen with these chemicals, but also Reduction of penis size and testicular volume.. This is nothing but a full-scale emergency for humankind.
The swan study is the same as the previous study that found that PFAS harms sperm production and destroys androgens. Biologist Andrea Di Nisio, who co-authored a paper on the health effects of PFAS, Said: “The structures of testosterone and PFAS are very similar,” he added. “Because they look the same, PFAS may act like testosterone in cells.” And they did. These chemicals literally confuse our bodies and send mixed messages to become hay.
Given all we know about these chemicals, why not do any more? Currently, there is a small patchwork of inadequate legislation in response to the crisis on this planet. Laws and regulations vary by country, region, and state in the United States.For example, the European Union Limited Some phthalates in toys and sets Limits About phthalates, which are considered “reproductive toxicity” (meaning impairing human fertility) in food production.
Scientific research in the United States found The chemical was detected in the baby’s urine in contact with specially designed baby shampoos, lotions and powders, exposing the baby to “widespread” phthalates. Still, it lacks active regulation, especially due to lobbying by chemical giants.
In Washington, lawmakers managed to pass Pollution prevention for our future law, This “instructs state agencies to deal with chemical classes and to move away from chemicals through a chemical approach. The first chemical class covered in the product is phthalate ester, Includes PFAS, PCBs, archiphenol ethoxylates and bisphenol compounds, and organic halogen flame retardants. ”The state has taken important steps to address the extent of chemical contamination, but in general, the United States has many others. Like the country, it is fighting defeat because of weak and inadequate legislation.
For example, in the United States today, venison caught in Oscoda, Michigan cannot be eaten as a health sector. issued A “don’t eat” recommendation for deer caught near a former Air Force base due to the surprisingly high PFOS levels of one deer muscle.
And just last week, hundreds of residents living near Luke Air Force Base in Arizona were advised not to drink their water when the test detected high levels of toxic chemicals. Scientists have found these substances in the blood of almost every person tested in the United States. No country or region on the planet is affected by PFAS pollution. It’s a global issue. PFAS is found all over the world. It is present in virtually every human body. It is found in fish deep in the sea and birds flying high in the sky.
And it literally kills us by damaging and attacking our fertility, the source of life. The rapid death and decline of sperm needs to be addressed and needs to be addressed now. I have no time to lose.
