Consumption consequences of plasticizers

Hong Kong Baptist University’s Department of Biology used white mice for further research. It was found that rats who took “pigmenting agents” had their descendants female-dominated and affected their normal ovulation; even if they gave birth to males, their genital organs Less than two-thirds of normal, and the number of sperm is also reduced, reflecting the "plasticizer" toxicity is anti-androgenic activity, resulting in endocrine disorders, affecting their normal fertility. Experts said that research can be applied to humans, showing that long-term intake of plasticizers has a greater impact on men than women.

Plasticizer DEHP is an environmental hormone. Although its toxicity to human body is not clear, it is widely distributed in various foods. Its toxicity is much higher than that of melamine. It must stay in the body for a while before it is discharged. It may cause immunization in the long term. Decline in force and fecundity.

The plasticizer DEHP acts like an artificial hormone and can harm male fertility and promote female precocious puberty. Long-term and large-scale ingestion can lead to liver cancer. As young children are in the reproductive system of the endocrine system, the potential harm that DEHP brings to young children will be even greater.

1. It may cause children's gender confusion, including small genitalia and small sexual characteristics.

2. Although it is currently impossible to prove whether it is carcinogenic to humans, it will cause carcinogenic reactions to animals.

Phthalates may affect the secretion of hormones in the fetus and infants, trigger hormone imbalances, and may lead to precocious puberty in children.
