You may be wondering if plastic bottles have any effect on testosterone levels in men. Yes, it does. After conducting an experiment I discovered that drinking liquids from plastic bottles and using plastic containers significantly lower testosterone levels in men. 8 People with different body types participated in this experiment.
The experiment was to drink only from plastic for two months to see the negative impacts. We only drank water from glass bottles for the next two months.
I wanted to see how this impacted;
Energy Levels-Vitality
Digestive System
Brain Function-Mental Health
Strength
Libido-Sexual Desire
Sperm Quality
Testosterone Levels
This is what we discovered.
After drinking from plastic bottles and eating from plastic containers.
Almost everyone reported a 20 to 30% decrease in energy levels.
The majority of people reported digestive issues. Or an increase in their digestive issues.
Focus and concentration suffered as a result. People who suffer from depression on a regular basis felt more depressed.
Performance in the gym, as well as strength and cardio levels, were not as good as before.
Most men’s libido and sex drive decreased by 30% on average.
Some participants’ sperm quality was lower than usual.
Free and total testosterone levels were measured, and most men’s levels were 10 to 15% lower than before.
After giving up plastic and relying solely on glass for the next two months.
Everyone’s testosterone levels were restored to normal, and in some cases, they were increased by 5 to 15%.
Fewer people had digestive problems. Existing digestive issues vanished.
For the most part, concentration and focus were as good as before. People reported feeling happier and less depressed.
Performance in the gym improved. Cardio levels had returned to normal.
For most men, sex drive and libido were much higher than before.
The sperm quality had improved.
Testosterone levels rose by ten to fifteen percent.
As the results show, drinking from plastic rather than glass can have a significant impact on your testosterone levels and overall health.
It makes sense because phthalates, bisphenol A (BPA), pesticides, POPs, and parabens found in plastic negatively affect testosterone.
Endocrine disruptors are chemicals found in many household items such as plastic bottles, furniture, and food containers. These chemicals have the potential to affect hormone levels, including testosterone.
