    Phthalates have the ability to disrupt hormones, and have been banned in toys in the EU for some years. However, they are still widely used in many different household items, including plastic furniture and packaging. There are many different types and some mimic the female hormone oestrogen. This feminising capacity of phthalates makes them true 'gender benders'. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8361863.stm[^]

      This is precisely the sort of stuff I was talking about. This stuff is decided in the womb, and disruptions of hormones are exactly the cause. I've said this before, when I pointed out that it's also the cause of homosexuality, and you ranted and raved, but couldn't come up with anything to prove otherwise. So, we agree now that such things are decided in the womb, which includes autism ?

        Thats very interesting but did you have a point? Are 'they" using this to make men weaker so 'they' can get more power? How about the socialist, over regulated big Euro weenie government? Should they ban all such plastic products? Should the US and other countries also ban them? So many questions...

          I wonder if he's trying to prove that chemicals can alter the brain while it develops, and didn't even realise he was making my point, that this sort of structure happens in the womb, not outside it.

            When you link to an internet news story, in this case from the BBC's portal, it is good when that news story has a reference to the research article so that the reader can inform themselves directly from the research. All without unadulterated opinion upon unadulterated opinion which is what you normally use when you reference something you either saw on YouTube or read on any one of Alex Jones's websites. So, well done CSS in linking to an issue where the scientific evidence is available for all to see. Try making that into a habit.

                Too bad that what it proves is that what I've been saying all along is correct, and he is wrong. Well, at a minimum, it supports what I've said without supporting any of his claims.

                  Without doubt the subject matter agrees you views, and mine. What I was trying to suggest was that the likes of Alex Jones and his conspiracy websites provides nothing for the reader towards an informed opinion, and the same obviously goes for very many of those YouTube video's. In fact, such resources provides for ill-informed arrogance. Whereas, Henize linking to a website that has a link direct to the original research article permits the reader, should they so choose, to visit the research article without being neither sidetracked nor distracted, or put into a straight-jacket by unqualified conspiracy laden views. If Henize were to recognize the poison that emanates from those conspiracy resources, then his reputation can only be enhanced and his "peace of mind" or "state of mind" will thus not be troubled.
