It seems that penis size has always been a matter of state. Although, in reality, the size does not matter, we tell you that, due to contamination, this could change. According to a recently published study, not only would the measurements of the penis and scrotum be reduced, but the male reproductive system may be unable to produce viable sperm by 2045.
Penis size starts to matter
Since we began to receive news of the contamination and the catastrophic results that it would have for health and the environment, perhaps none had been as popular as this. And is that pollution is a problem, not only for those of us who already exist but also for future generations. From the long list of problems that unborn children would have to face, we found that the penis size of the future inhabitants of the planet would be considerably reduced.
The study in question, which shows dire consequences for young children and those not yet born, was published by Dr. Shanna Swan, from Mount Sinai School of Medicine, a prestigious New York institution. In his book, Count Down : How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race ; which in Spanish would translate as Countdown: How our modern world is threatening sperm count, altering male and female reproductive development, and endangering the future of the human race , Swan exposes us the problem.
And, according to Swan, high levels of environmental pollution are causing the shrinkage of the penis of babies. Without a doubt, an alarmist statement that puts the future of humanity at risk. And it is not that penis reduction is a big problem, but what this entails.
Low fertility rates due to reduction in penis size and contamination
As stated by Swan, and as we already anticipated, contamination and reduction in the size of the penis would cause serious problems for human fertility. This is a serious existential crisis that humans of the future would experience. This is due to the action of phthalates, a chemical that is mainly used to make plastics such as PVC. Well, these phthalates considerably affect the endocrine system, which is responsible for producing hormones. According to Swan, phthalate contamination causes babies to be born with small penises.
According to multiple studies and trials conducted by Swan, the amount of sperm was greatly reduced in men from Western countries. This sperm reduction was over 50% in forty years; the conclusions were made after comparing the results of 185 studies, whose participants were around 45,000 completely healthy men. These results are alarming, since the consequences of contamination would considerably affect the reproductive development not only of men, but also of women.
But how did Dr. Swan do the studies? Before starting with humans, Swan looked at phthalate syndrome in rats. He discovered that when fetuses were exposed to this substance, they were born with shrunken genitalia. He later discovered that when human fetuses had been exposed to this substance, babies were born with shrunken genitalia, with a much shorter distance between the anus and the genitals and that was directly related to the size of the penis.
And how is a human baby exposed to phthalate? Very simple, because although this substance is used to make PVC, it is believed that it is being transmitted directly in the food industry and also in toys. And it is that phthalates, although we use to make plastics, represent a big problem for hormones, since they mimic estrogens. This stops the body’s natural production of these hormones. Hence, it prevents the development of human genitalia, causes malformations in the fetus, but also behavior in adults.
Dr. Swan’s study concludes that by 2045, humans will be unable to produce viable sperm. This, logically, poses a great risk to the population. Will the human race as we know it become extinct?
2045: the year everything would change
Environmentalists have been trying to tell us about climate change for years. There is nothing more to remember the former vice president of the United States, Al Gore. Through his documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” (2006), he tried to expose us to the problems humanity faced if something was not done for the planet. Fifteen years later, and after several documentaries by great personalities, such as Leonardo DiCaprio, humanity continues on the same path.
Environmental awareness is still lacking, and we seem to be heading towards what would appear to be the destruction of the planet as we know it. Although this would not happen for many years, the consequences would be in the relatively immediate future. It is about the year 2045, the year in which, Shanna Swan, places the lack of viability of human sperm. She believes that, by then, people will have to go directly to assisted reproduction treatments in order to have children. Something that has grown considerably in recent years. The latest data, collected in 2018, shows that, around the world, more than eight million babies have been born thanks to assisted reproduction.
According to Swan, and as published in his book, men of reproductive age do not have the same amount of sperm that their grandparents had a few decades ago. Because pollution is not only present outside the home, but has reached our homes. It lives in kitchens, living rooms, bathrooms and bedrooms. Because a good part of the products that enter our homes are contaminated with these substances. Not to mention the food. We bear in mind that, if there are other pollutants, they are present in what we consume.
As you may well know, today’s food is not 100% of natural origin, even if the product labels say so. For example, for those who continue to eat meat, the animals are fattened excessively with chemical and industrial products in order to reach an ideal weight before taking them to the slaughterhouse. Not to mention the fertilizers used in fruit and vegetable crops. And, of course, the amount of preservatives that are added to the products that we can find in supermarkets.
That is to say, here we are no longer talking about air pollution, or water pollution; We are not talking about plastics that pollute the ocean or pollution from cars. We are talking about a series of products that enter our body directly when ingested. These products that we consume, without any precautions, directly affect the health of our body. Hence, it is best to eat quality products that are organic. What about exposure to phthalates that significantly harm human reproduction? Unfortunately, it is an exposure that cannot be avoided, as it is something that is not in our hands.
