"Gender Bending" and Anti-Fertility Chemicals

Baniadam writes "Story here.

"Gender-bending chemicals are to be exempted from tough new Europe-wide safety controls despite increasing concern that they are causing bizarre sex changes in children and wildlife, leaked documents reveal.

...

Research published in May showed that boys born to mothers exposed to phthalates, used to make plastics more pliable, had smaller penises and other signs of genital feminisation..."

In the EU we have some laws. In the North America I believe it is (even) more lax. I think (not in EU) phthalates are still being used in stuff like cling-film and food wrappings etc. This is particularly important for every man (person) who has a young boy or even more so if with a pregnant wife."
