I suspect people of the distant future will look back on our time an perceive our chemical use the same way we look back on the Romans using lead everywhere.
Don't be fooled into thinking only BPA has this effect. All xenoestrogens, including numerous BPA substitutes, and various plastics in general as their sources, would have this effect.
Huh. The whole point is to worry and take action to prevent them, no matter their source.
> the water you have been drinking
From the link you shared, the supplied water contains endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Drinking water indeed is one source of xenoestrogens (that disrupt the endocrine system). There exist other sources, like plastics in contact with food and soil, also thermal receipt paper. It doesn't make any sense to ignore a subset of the major sources.

It's a rat study with a vague definition of feminization and masculination. Would take it with a grain of saşt.

Wouldn't worry about a few BPA chemicals.
worry about the water you have been drinking, supplied and owned by private companies more interested in profit than quality water.
I have always filtered my tap water with 4 ceramic candle filters to drink and use for cooking. fuck would I drink out of any tap.
This has been going on for years
from 2000
Mind sharing your filter recommendations?
