well…that does explain a lot doesn’t it?

That is sooooooooooooooooooooooo LAME! Estrogen is terrific for females: more developed feminine attributes! Holy hell, and what are boys doing to cancel out that estrogen? Sports and manly things, which produce testosterone, gentlemen. As for womanly men, that sucks for them because it’s all in the genetics, and I don’t believe you can alter your genetics with processed foods and goods, however it isn’t healthy to gorge on them. Don’t get scared by estrogen, it’s just another marketing ploy all started by the main root of evil, the FDA, to get you to buy more processed medicine that wouldn’t help you very much (or cause other problems). For example, the UK has a lot less people dying each year from cancer than the U.S. does, and well, if you want to know why, it’s because of something the FDA does (in U.S.A.), so look here to find out more: http://www.worldwithoutcancer.org.uk/
Well, thanks. I felt like telling you that. It’s atrocious that Centrum doesn’t have B17…
Buy some Apricots that have vitamin B17

Well, Alex, it looks like we are of differing opinions! Thank you though for posting your comments!
Yes, Ricohry, it really does make a lot of sense.

Hi shadowmyth, I have been reading lockergnome for years, and have quiet enjoyed your blogs in the recent past, some have really spoken to me. However, one of the reasons I prefer online syndication as well as blogs and such is because they are more factual and decisive, and much less speculative and sensationalist in nature (read: Fox news) than competing sources of reading.

I was disappointed by this blog as it seems to make an awful lot of assumptions and provides very few facts. Although you do quote one researcher. It strikes me that you can stretch an idea so far.

I am not ignorant however, it is obvious that hormones are increasingly used in products we use and eat, and the effects could be dire. However you have done what I call the 3 ply argument mistake. You’ve taken a ‘possible’ (but likely) idea (increased use of estrogen in society), drawn the conclusion that estrogen will increase in our bodies across society, and from that drawn a number of adverse conclusions about what effect estrogen increases will have for both society and individuals.
I do not intend this comment as a rebuttal, however i just hope that in the future you will provide a less sensational and more researched based topic. Or cover topics like life, death, religion etc which are based solely on opinion.

Plastics and cans are used for many reasons, and their place in society has been earned over time, and although glass is still used its place is dimished for these reasons. For instance, breakages, transportability, weight.

If you really want to get head over heals about chemicals in what we use, glass is acctually irradicated (by Americium-234) to remove imperfections, it has a half life of 7370 years. No one cares though, because its in such low amounts, its needed, not many people know its used etc etc. Also most food products are irradiated to remove bacteria. No one complains though because its expected, and not many people know.

The use of DDT, while not totally irradicated, has been mostly subdued accross the world, and you would be extremely hard pressed to find anything in a super market in a western country that uses DDTs.

Finally the idea that estrogen can be passed from plastic into food, while probably is probably in nanogram amounts. On top of this, the ideas that using glad wrap, using glass bottles, not putting hot water in plastic cups, and winding down windows can decrease this is absurd. These ideas, if applied would likely decrease your estrogen intake from 0.0000000000009 grams a day to 0.0000000000008 grams a day. Not enough to change any outcome.

Quiet often organic produce is full of harmful bacteria, viruses, and pests such as insects and worms, as well as many others. There is a clear correlation between why the increased cleanliness and production in food has yeiled a massive increase in health, well being and life expectancy in the worlds population.

Ben,
I am glad you enjoy my blogs! In my piece called What I Have to Say is Meaningless, I brought up this very issue you speak of. http://tinyurl.com/2z5c9c
As far as journalists, and bloggers, journalists get paid. I already spend several hours a day writing these pieces, and if I were to back up everything I said, it would take me more time than I already spend. I have a pretty full life, and offer these blogs as an expression of my soul. I may not include every ounce of data available, but I assume others have the time to research it, if they are so inclined. I will say though that what I write about I very much believe in, and I try to only tell the truth as I understand it to be.

David,
Thank you for informing me of the glass situation, I was unaware they irradiate that too. I was actually going to be doing an article on irradiation in the near future, so this will be of help in my research.
We may not be able to protect ourselves against everything, but I honestly believe that minimization is a help. Also, not buying products that are poisoning or harming our health, withdraws our support from those perpetuating such crimes. Though some glass is irradiated, it may not be that all glass is. I will have to research this, as it may be that natural products rely on non irradiated glass.
As far as protecting us from bacteria…that is a myth. I eat raw meat as my main sustenance, and try to avoid anti bacterial products at all costs.I was literally dying from a genetic medical condition, and eating a natural diet, as animals in the wild would, has saved my life. The basis of my diet is bacteria and micro organisms in large quantities. Because of this diet, I not only am free of symptoms from my disease, but my aging process has reversed. I am 40 years old, and when I hang out with my 18 year old daughter, everyone thinks I am just one of her friends. Quite a few people have told me I look to be in my twenties now. Living food gives a living body. People may be living longer as you say, but most are diseased, or suffering from a variety of medical issues. I would rather be healthy than live a long life filled with weird medical problems. Thank you for your comments though, they are always appreciated.

Now this is more like it! I had not idea this area existed!

I read your reference piece on “Whatever I Say Is Meaningless”. And it brings up some very solid point’s. Because no matter how you reference your material with facts, there is always an opposing view. Like you and I have had on this “Justice” piece. But it also leaves out a key piece of arguement as well. Because I myself, have found some meaning in your work. I am always open to thought that spent time in the cauldron. One of the reasons I hate rhetoric! As I was saying, althought there are people out there that automatically refute just by reflex, there are as well those that seek true conversation and ethics issues. I dearly hope I am one of those. But the statement might benefit from a change. “Whatever I Say is factually Debateable” Less interesting title, but basicall truer to the intent of the article.

As to the “Justice” article. I do now understand that it is seven years old. But your view is assertive and interesting. It caught my attention. As I demonstrated through the wrong channels. But I will use the proper channels from now on. I do wish people held “Justice ” in more esteem than they abviously do. But it harms the article that it faces those who find delight in fighting Justice than walking with it.

I just realized that I posted on the wrong thread. Sorry.

Hi Shiloh,
You are about the third or fourth person to mention that title as needing a change, but it did draw the attention I was looking for. With blogs, no one will read your stuff if it doesn’t catch their initial attention.

I do not mind the bad attention I also receive; as at least I know people are reading what I have to say. People all have their own opinions and it is healthy to share them. However, it does get annoying when they only pick one thing out of context, and try to make an entire case over it.

Glad you are finding your way around better, I know you are not the only one that has had this problem. I do not think people realize that the archives on the right hand side of the page belong to me, so they never bother to look through them.

yes, statistically the length of the taint is shrinking…. i.e. testicular femenization….

sad….

glad im endoughed

Uh, good to know nature endowed you well Joe. Keep it swingin’. lol.
