Don't be a girly man.

The obesity epidemic in men could be fueled by the female sex hormone estrogen, scientists claim.
Experts believe the hormone could also be causing the well-documented drop in sperm count among Western men.
They said men in affluent countries are becoming “feminized” as they come into contact with products containing the female sex hormone.
Compounds found in some plastic items, including drain pipes, and soy food products can mimic the effects of estrogen, scientists said.
Secreted by the ovaries in premenstrual women, estrogen is known to cause weight gain, inhibiting the thyroid gland and affecting other areas of the brain. …

Crony capitalization of “big ag” complicit? After all, the Communist Manifesto does stipulate the merging of industry and agriculture.Female sex hormone is ‘fueling male obesity epidemic and causing sperm counts to drop’ as men become ‘feminized’
“Female sex hormone is ‘fueling male obesity epidemic and causing sperm counts to drop”
Fat and feminized. That describes so many men today.
Don't be a girly man.
Oh, that’s too bad.
Ive been reading about the estrogen threat for years, but this is the first thing ive seen about it in nearly a decade. Everything from strokes to benign prostrate enlargement in males has been laid at the feet of an estrogen overload in adult males
Thank you.
It’s all that soy in our diets!
Soy contains lots and lots of estrogen.
Has anyone examined the possibility that our drinking water has been contaminated by females on oral contraceptives? The massive doses of exogenous hormones are secreted in their urine, and I do not believe waste water treatment facilities are able to remove all of it.
You beat me to it! :)
Drivel, feminized men are caused by climate change /sarc

I, for one, don’t believe for a minute that American men are becoming ‘feminized’ and when I read this sort of thing I just want to cry.
Plants produce the hormone mimics on purpose. By reducing male fertility, plants reduce the number of future plant eaters.
Yep, Attn: American Males please keep eating those soy products and tons of carbohydrates instead of real meats, ocean fish, poultry, wild game if you have access to it, and fresh veggies and fruits.
Stay anchored to your chairs in your cubicles, and when you get home grab a high carb beer and lay down to watch tv until your dinner of high carbs, soy products and pseudo meats.
After dinner grab a couple of more high carb beers and lay back to watch tv until you wake up to go to bed. Don’t even consider going for a walk then or later.
The next morning re start the cycle with fortified OJ with a long list of added ingredients and more carbs. Eat your fortified cereal with more words re the number of ingredients, more than the words in a chapter in a good book. For snacks pack more carbo bars with more soy and at least 25 added ingredients a chemistry major can’t pronounce. On your way to work stop at Starbucks for decaf coffee and some of their high carbs deserts for your second breakfast.
In the mean time your doctor put you on a statin. A few months later, after more lab tests, he informs you that you have type 2 diabetes. You go on a soy plus diet with artificial sweetners and fats. You gain more weight, exercise even less and are hungry all the time.
You and your wife notice that your boobs are now bigger than hers, and Viagra stops working for you.
If she is lucky, you will have an early heart attack and be well insured.
I can see it now...
A cow, holding up a sign:
“Eat mor snak!”
Sheesh, this is bad news. I better go buy a bigger, badder, louder truck to compensate. And some more guns.
My first thoughts, too.
Male obesity
+ plastic pipes
