Drink from plastic bottles can raise the body’s levels of a controversial ‘gender-bending’ chemical by more than two thirds, according to tests.
Experts have been concerned about the possible health effects of bisphenol A (BPA) – an everyday chemical used in many plastic food and drink containers and tins as well as clear baby bottles – which is officially classified as toxic in some countries.
A study found that participants who drank for a week from polycarbonate bottles showed a 69 per cent increase in their urine of BPA, which mimics the female sex hormone oestrogen.
Researchers did not say how much liquid was drunk per day.

Researchers from Harvard School of Public Health studied 77 students, who had first undergone a seven-day ‘washout’ phase in which they drank all cold beverages from stainless steel bottles in order to minimise BPA exposure.
They were then given two polycarbonate bottles and asked to drink all cold beverages from them during the next week.
Previous studies have suggested that high levels of BPA consumption are linked to birth defects, growth problems and an increased risk of heart disease and diabetes.

Poison us all until we die… or until we all start singing it’s Raining Men, Hallelujah… and YMCA…
Maybe this could explain the upswing in Transexual / Transgender people in the states, not that it isn’t a part of natural makeup either, but it could contribute to more effeminate feelings, if your estrogen levels were that of a woman. Great, all we need is bitch tits and for our cocks to fall off!

I don’t want to have boobs,or lose my big fat winky either. I drink gallons of bottled water every day. The last thing I want to ask my wife is, Does these jeans make me look fat? I guess that explains the “don’t ask and don’t tell policy in our armed forces. This SUCKS!!!

Don’t worry, if you microwave GMO foods with a liberal dose of Aspartame the resulting seizures will kill you long before you turn into whatever this stuff does.

That’s comforting to know. I’d rather not have both.

Why be angry and live in FEAR? All we have to do is claim our sovereignty, under common law none of the 60 million statutes and acts applies to us. There is only 1 law “have I injured another man” and if you have you have to answer to it. The Banksters have taken over America and since 1938 only Admirlty law is practiced in court as evidenced by the gold-fringed flag flying therein. Under this Law of Contracts you have given over your sovereignty by submitting (submission) applications (begging) for a marriage license, birth certificate, drivers license,car registration, etc. When you get a notice from your bank or a traffic ticket or any court document or license look at them. Your name is all in capital letters (signifying a corporation). That isn’t you. Seek information on the free man or sovereignty movement and become the governing power as we were intended to be.

I see lots of feminine straight males, besides gay men. They don’t have babies. Or balls!!
Make them apathetic and just want to be nice guys. No arguments, no raising of voices, go along to get along. Not wanting to hurt anyone’s feelings if they disagree.
So then no one talks about real issues, just how nice it is outside, how great BO is, etc.

This has been going on for a long time. In Cuba during the Spanish-American War more of our troops died from bad Army food preserved with formaldehyde (a poison) than from Spanish bullets. The FDA protects the companies that produce this crap, not you.
Now they have more chemicals than ever and, that’s not enough, so they Genetically Modified food to grow in herbicide:

So now you will eat herbicide and wonder why you feel bad or have weird symptoms.

Our food supply is loaded with soy, which contains estrogen analogs, also known as
phyto-estrogens. Look at the ingredients on everything you buy from the store; if it contains soy, do not buy it! http://www.westonaprice.org Look at the “Soy Alert” section.
