The cause of the soyboy phenomenon:

>Humans are exposed to far more hormone-disrupting chemicals than previously thought, according to a new study.

>Patricia Hunt, the researcher at Washington State University who first discovered that BPA, a dangerous toxin in plastics, can cause cancer and other diseases and disorders, has now developed a more accurate method of measuring it.

>In a study published today, Dr Hunt reveals the new tool shows the 'safe' limit of BPA stipulated by the US Food and Drug Administration is flawed.

>In fact, it is 44 times higher than what Dr Hunt considers safe.

And a bunch of screencaps.

>BPA has been found to bind to both of the nuclear estrogen receptors (ERs), ERα and ERβ.[17] It is 1000- to 2000-fold less potent than estradiol.[17] BPA can both mimic the action of estrogen and antagonize estrogen, indicating that it is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) or partial agonist of the ER.[17] At high concentrations, BPA also binds to and acts as an antagonist of the androgen receptor (AR).[17] In addition to receptor binding, the compound has been found to affect Leydig cell steroidogenesis, including affecting 17α-hydroxylase/17,20 lyase and aromatase expression and interfering with LH receptor-ligand binding.[17]

>The CDC had found bisphenol A in the urine of 95% of adults sampled in 1988–1994[158] and in 93% of children and adults tested in 2003–04.[159] The USEPA Reference Dose (RfD) for BPA is 50 µg/kg/day which is not enforceable but is the recommended safe level of exposure. The most sensitive animal studies show effects at much lower doses,[89][160] and several studies of children, who tend to have the highest levels, have found levels over the EPA's suggested safe limit figure.[161]

>EWG(Environmental Working Group ) has identified over 16,000 items with high levels of BPAs in supermarkets. They range from 1.5mg to even 5mg.
