| Sep 6, 2018 at 17:11 | comment | added | PoloHoleSet | @Richard - I was just going to ask about mimicking estrogen vs. suppressing testosterone, because that was my own, albeit somewhat outdated, understanding of the claim of what plastics do. | |

| Sep 4, 2018 at 9:21 | comment | added | user32299 | "Plastic" is a much too wide categorisation of substances to be able to give any kind of definitive answer. For instance natural latex ("rubber") and Bakelite are both "plastic". You need to narrow the question down to some specific plastic substances or this question cannot be answered. | |

| Sep 1, 2018 at 16:23 | comment | added | Oddthinking♦ | I understand, but because we come into contact with so many plastics (and the sorts of plastics that are used in food containers have changed over time), and they might emit so many chemicals, it is difficult to easily answer. The first and last links are far more specific. They talk about one particular chemical, so it is far more likely we can point to studies on that particular chemical to show whether or nor it is really emitted by plastics and whether or not it really affects testosterone. | |
| Sep 1, 2018 at 16:02 | comment | added | Gerlof Leuhof | Thanks and thanks for the link. I'll add some more text to it. I don't really know what you mean but what I just want to know if general plastics like we come in contact with any day, will lower testosterone. | |

| Sep 1, 2018 at 15:46 | comment | added | Oddthinking♦ | The first link is about phthalates. The second is about phthalates, BPA, and other xenoestrogens. The third link is about phthalates. I wonder if we can safely restrict this question just to phthalates and the plastics that contain them, so responding becomes more feasible. | |
