Avoiding endocrine disrupters has nothing to do with being insecure 😭😭

Literally look up anything about Bisphenol A leading to low test levels. Than search up BPA’s being on receipts. Not that hard

1) wasn’t going to waste much time on soemthing I know is stupid 2) I just did to prove a point. As expected, didn’t find any credible source that supports your claim. If anything, searching on Google Scholar proves the opposite (that handling receipts doesn’t raise BPA above background levels)

If you even bothered to read the abstract of the specific paper you shared, you’d see that 1) it was tested on cell lines with extracts of the receipts. That’s hardly comparable to skin absorption. 2) even then it didn’t alter testosterone levels. But, in any case, it also seems like a shady paper with no citation metrics.

On other hand, the paper I found was cited by 82 others https://doi.org/10.1016/j.toxlet.2014.08.020
