This issue really pisses me off and yet hardly anyone is talking about it. I think it's like when they announced that there were UFOs and nobody seemed interested. It's too overwhelming to think about. Plastic is showing up in men's penises! That should get some attention. It's not just bottles, vinyl products (polyvinylpyrrolidone PVP and polyvinyl alcohol PVA) are also used as stabilizers in medications and food use.

Had to laugh about the issue might finally get men's attention. Good call!

That was courtesy of my husband. He knows how I feel about plastic and one day, he came home from work (he works in healthcare, too) and declared, "They discovered plastic in men's penises!" I thought he was kidding, and I had to look it up. I've been telling him for several years that this is all getting stuck in our system, but it's only recently that they finally recognized it. It's hard because plastic is everywhere, so I try to reduce my exposure as much as possible.
