    A class of chemicals called phthalates that are often used to make
    plastics more flexible is exacting a toll on fertility rates and leading
    to genital malformation, an environmental scientist claims.

    Shanna Swan, Ph.D., professor of environmental medicine and public health
    at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, details the health
    consequences of pollution in her new book "Count Down," which argues more babies are being born with smaller penises, Sky News reported.

    Swan’s research began with rats, findings that rat fetuses exposed to the chemical were more likely to be born with shrunken genitals. Later, Swan
    found that male human fetuses exposed to phthalates resulted in a
    decreased anogenital distance, a measure associated with penile length,
    per Sky News. Other findings cited in Swan’s book include a claim that
    "sperm levels among men in Western countries" declined by over 50%,
    drawing on hundreds of studies involving nearly 45,000 healthy men.

    ANNIE'S REMOVING A CHEMICAL IN MAC AND CHEESE LINKED TO FERTILITY ISSUES

    The claim isn’t all too surprising; scientists have previously suggested exposure to the chemical can harm fertility, babies' health, disrupt
    hormones key for development, and damage the genetic material in sperm. Phthalates have already been banned in many kids' toys over health
    concerns.

    These chemicals can be found in manufacturing equipment and have a firm foothold in supply chains beyond just the food industry. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says phthalates can be found in
    personal hygiene products, makeup, plastic packaging and more.

    Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden

    Unfortunately, yes: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30476355/
    "We detected statistically significant race interactions for continuous phthalates with penile width. Race interactions were also suggested for penile length and volume using tertiles of phthalates with point estimates generally positive for whites and
    negative for African Americans."

    Might be a more recent paper also. Here is a search on the US-NIH website: https://www.google.com/search?as_q=phtalates+penis+size&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&lr=&cr=&as_qdr=all&as_sitesearch=nih.gov&as_occt=any&safe=images&as_filetype=&tbs=

    I had a friend who had cancer. Real good health for kids and grands. Still limited standing/walking when weight-bearing, but stable elsewhere after a neoplastic year of bladder cancer and recurrent melanoma, both excised....

    I know the bladder isn't the penis but could this be a reason for his cancer?

    According to popular belief, two years after Akbar died; Jahangir spied the beautiful Mehru-un-Nissa and sought to add her to his harem. She, however, spurned the Emperor’s overtures and was faithful to her husband. Yearning for her, Jahangir had Sher
    Afghan conveniently killed in 1607 under the cooked up circumstances of his rebelling against the Governor of Bengal. His widow and daughter were then summoned to court by the Emperor and made ladies-in-waiting to his stepmother, Empress Ruqaiya Sultan
    Begum, Akbar’s first wife and daughter of the Mughal Prince Hindal Mirza.--Mahlia Lone
