| 0:49.9 | It's actually a chemical that is an endocrine disruptor. And what does that mean? It means a chemical that is an endocrine disruptor and what does that mean? It means a |
| 0:54.3 | chemical that mimics estrogen in the body and has a cumulative effects. It builds up |
| 0:59.1 | over time. It's in plastic cans, it's in bottled water. It's in baby bottles. It's all over the place. It's crazy |
| 1:10.4 | I'm just kidding. This is supposed to be a blooper okay and this is BPA free by the way here's the thing it has a cumulative effect and |

| 2:14.0 | So if you have PCOS, you want to minimize the exposure to plastics especially. |
| 2:20.0 | There's also an enzyme called aromatase which will convert testosterone into estrogen so it makes |
| 2:28.1 | more estrogen and this chemical can stimulate this enzyme. So if you have more estrogen-dominant symptoms, this could be the reason why. |
| 2:37.0 | And this also creates the effect in men as, you know, breast tissue, low sperm counts, low testosterone, that type of thing. |
