There was an excellent video/documentary that I watched a while back, in which a woman spent a month COMPLETELY avoiding plastics.

Sadly, the BPA levels in her blood did not drop significantly. It seems that even if YOU don't come into contact with these chemicals, chances are your food already has.

It informed me that if I really wanted to avoid plasticizers, I could never eat out, and would likely need to purchase my food from organic farmer's markets. A tough bill to swallow.

And the alternative is.. taking estrogen blockers?
Especially dosing boys with them. /s

You have no idea what kind of harm this could do, BPA being the least of the worries in that case.

Bodybuilders often take estrogen blockers (eg Indol-3-Carbinol), they don't seem to share your concerns.
