Spoiler: it's microplastics, pesticides and industrial chemicals. Your ballsack is being filled with industrial waste everyday and you are letting the capitalists get away with it. :sicko-no:
those who are eating meat and dairy have damaged sperm dna, decreased sperm count, and abnormally shaped sperms.
see you at c/vegan
pretty good wrap up on how going vegan helps reduce exposure to microplastics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1CplsmG0Ws
:im-vegan: so my balls/ovaries are slightly more protected :greensicko-laser:
I can't believe that those guys who eat raw meat in front of vegan protestors are massive cucks
Like global warming, endocrine disruptors have been a concern for decades in the scientific literature. Most microplastics would fall in this category. They're hard to filter out of the water supply. There isn't any way to treat this once they have been ingested, and the bioaccumulation for fat soluble molecules is pretty high.
Now the Guardian article that came out this week reporting 128/130 city water supplies tested in the USA show heavy metal contamination, given that lead is neurotoxin at all detectable levels, is a much simpler topic. There is absolutely no excuse for detectable levels of lead being present in nearly all (>99%) of the tested samples.

detectable levels of lead
Depending on the instrument involved, "detectable" can be extremely low. They probably meant "unsafe levels"?
The EPA action level for lead is 15 µg/L (parts per billion). By comparison, an ICP-MS can detect lead at 0.0005 µg/L. That's thirty thousand times lower!
Which is why exposure should be minimized, but total elimination is impossible. It's like ionizing radiation. You will be able to detect lead in even the cleanest sources.
Unsafe was just a descriptor I used for unacceptably high.
Bio-accumulation is a bitch though, does lead bio-accumulate?
in terms of bio-accumulation, your best best is to eat as low as possible on the food chain
Think you can do that if you read more theory? Idk everyone keeps telling me to for some reason so that's probably it
"Thesis, antithesis, photosynthesis" sums up my understanding of Hegel
:corn-man-khrush: yep, that's me on the right. you may be wondering how I became a corncob. It all started with this one german idealist..
Is the protein thing for real? I love mushrooms and would love a reason to eat a lot more of them!
This is why I exclusively drink reverse osmosis filtered water from a metal bottle.
Not this one. I actually forged it myself when I was on sabbatical in the Viking lands.
Only the aluminum ones, not stainless steel
Aluminum cans and tin cans have plastic coating too
why penises are shrinking
in my experience, that occurs because i just came
I care about your balls. Hexbear cares about your balls.
Thank you, that's very nice to hear. I will take better care of my balls.
Thank you comrade. I promise to treat my balls as the people's balls from here on out.
Exactly. Even if you don't want kids fertility is a marker for all sorts of other health issues.
