New research out of the University of Rochester in New York has found that the plastics chemicals lurking in furniture, food packaging and many other consumer products are directly linked to decreased libido and lowered sperm counts in humans.
Presented at the recent annual conference of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine in Honolulu, Hawaii, a study by Dr. Emily Barrett found that not only do most people have plastics chemicals in their systems, but those with the highest levels also have the lowest sex drives.
“It is interesting because these are chemicals that we are all exposed to every day,” stated Dr. Barrett, who found that pregnant women in their 20s and 30s with high levels of phthalates in their blood — phthalates are plasticizing chemicals that make items more bendable — were 250 percent more likely than those with low levels to lose interest in sex.
“[Plastics chemicals] are throughout our environment and every person studied showed measurable levels.”
For her research, Dr. Barrett looked at 360 pregnant women, testing their urine for phthalate content. Phthalates are already known to interfere with the production of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone, but Dr. Barrett wanted to look specifically at how these chemicals affect women.
She found that these pervasive chemicals are directly correlated with decreased sex drive, not only in men but also in women.
“For a lot of women with loss of libido there is no obvious reason,” she stated, adding that “it is important to know how these chemicals might contribute.”
The more processed a food is, the more likely it is to contain hormone-disrupting chemicals
