billion metric tons of plastic produced on planet earth since about 1907 with when plastic was commercialized and the interesting thing about plastic is that when it breaks down it acts like a xeno estrogen an exogenous estrogen molecule that can literally bind to our estrogen receptors and act like estrogens so now we've got you know we've got you know this like we've got plastic

effing everywhere it's literally in the air we're breathing the nanoparticles it's in our food it's in our water it's in everything um and we've now found plastics in every human organ so of course that's affecting our bodies and our young girls bodies it's actually affecting our bodies in utero there was a recent study that was done that showed a hundred percent of placentas that were dissected had microplastics in them so that's one number two look at the pesticides

So there are pesticides actually where their molecular activity is to increase aromatase, the enzyme that converts testosterone to estrogen. So atrazine, which is banned in Europe, but we spray 70 million pounds of it per year in the U.S., increases aromatase, which converts testosterone to estrogen. Illegal overseas and illegal. It is – we buy it from other countries.

So China and Germany and other countries are selling us a chemical of which 70 million pounds are sprayed on our food, invisible and tasteless, which upregulates aromatase and converts testosterone to estrogen. So that's number two. And then you look at just the fat that we have on our bodies.

So fat, and especially visceral fat, the metabolically active fat around our midline, that is a metabolically active organ that actually converts testosterone to estrogen. So we are living in this wildly estrogenic era. environment that is created by humans and it's all invisible. And, and, you know, again, it's like, how would you even do the study right to show that?

And yet it's, if you put the pieces together, it's very clear. Now go into later life and talking about estrogens. We've got a huge percentage of American women on birth control pills. That's of course, post, hopefully post puberty, but we're, we're putting women on exogenous estrogens, for acne, for PCOS, for menstrual irregularity, sometimes, of course, for actual birth control.

But it's very ubiquitous now in the environment. And it's like, when you kind of know this stuff, you're like, How are we allowing this to happen? And then, of course, it's affecting boys, too. Right. You know, and so I kind of just think about this world we're living in where it's tons of estrogens. It's not like there's a bunch of exogenous testosterone. Right.
