LOL , no big surprise. Dog people started to move away from plastic food bowls 17 years ago! Eat and drink from glass. China plates have always been the best. It tastes better anyway. Cook in iron and avoid coated fry pans!
This means there will be a huge spike in the percentage of gay men coming up soon. Probably about 30% rate in the near future.
Poor headline. Should read "Tiny Study without quantitative significance indicates need to study this issue more."
Read the article and what it says is there's absolutely nothing provable from this study. They just think it indicates a need to do further work.
Too bad about the headline.
Just look at society around you. Those who eat less food stored in plastic are more masculine, those who eat fresh foods are more masculine.
Those who live out of a can or from plastic containers are more female than male.
That has been known for years. That's why they are forbidden in Denmark for producs to children under 14 years. The punishment can be up to two years of prison.
That is based on EU-rules dating back to 1998.
haven't you known anything about that?
Somebodý is holding back a lot of information from you.
It is so that goods from countries exporting to the EU sells goods, that cannot bed sold in the EU to the USA, because there are almost no rules.
More and more countries accept EU rules as the guiding rules for trade worldwide.
Personally I think it affects grown men too, The more I have watched men who eat out of plastic containers the more female they seem . I even ask them about the foods they ate at home.
