The format for this video is a bit different than the typical animations on this channel. I'd love to hear what you think of this style of presentation. The full interview with Dr. Shanna Swan was 1.5 hours and I edited her answers down to the concise core of her message. But to get the full picture of what's going on, I highly recommend her book, "Count Down". Dr. Swan was a joy to work with and I am so grateful we have kind, dedicated, courageous minds like her in higher academia. The subject matter in this video is extremely important for the future of humanity. We're currently being sterilized.

Me when listening to lifestyle factors: 1) obesity - yep, not for me 2) smoking - don't smoke 3) drinking - don't drink 4) stress - we're all fucked, gonna get a smoke
Look up sleep hygiene and adaptogens. Easy way to help manage stress. Transcendental meditation is good too. Don't pay anyone for it, it's super easy. Don't need any custom mantra or anything. Just pick any word and repeat. Can even not do that and stare into the flickering of a candle flame or something. Lotta methods to help get you started, eventually you can just do it at will. It's really useful and even just a few minutes a day can make a big difference.
I generally am able to manage my stress levels pretty well, I don't have any addictions, I'm skinny, and I'm relatively active, I think I'm doing alright.n
I got to be honest here. Listening to this felt was like a punch in the gut. We live in a plastic world. It's almost like we really are really not in control.
Exactly, this may be called the plastic civilization in the history, if we could survive. It is all of our lives, every production is like plastic. Seems rigid but when we stand on it it shrinks or breaks apart. Simply everything rises sharply but they have a really short life time, from celebs to political aggreements. Many crumble into pieces in a short amount of time. I hope we can recover from this point.
@@Jenny_Lee_ Exactly! because we are like house pets, we only eat what's on the table and we move when it's walking time. I always dreamed about having a permaculture garden. But to make some money I have to dwell in the system which harms me all the time and steals my time, so I feel like living my dream gets harder and harder.
@@dakedres My thoughts exactly. The first thing that stroke me is the fact that she started off by checking whether the methodology of sperm counting has changed over the past 50 years. That is the opposite of confirmation bias and there were other examples of it too in this video (and her overall career in general). This is really rare, and incredibly important.
I love how the FDA always uses "acceptable amounts" when discussing chemicals in our foods. However, add up all the acceptable amounts and what do you get?
I had an early miscarriage (chemical pregnancy) in August. I'm 22, no health issues, don't drink, don't smoke, eat pretty healthily and was a healthy BMI. Thank God I got pregnant two weeks later and so far the baby is healthy, but everywhere I look younger women are having miscarriages and trouble conceiving, whereas my great-grandmother had 11 children. This is very real. I thank God for this baby and my young daughter, but I am so scared for their future.
Limit exposure to plastics, drugs phone usage ect. Have her an future kids get plenty of excerise in fields an parks have them attend social gatherings with kids their ages. An watch as they grow into well rounded, healthy kids.
There're also societal differences to consider with what you've said. Society was vastly different socio-economically speaking back when our grandparents were born. I'm 25, and my four grandparents were born between 1918 and 1932. Back then, tons of people still lived rurally working lives of agricultural subsistence, contraception was not nearly as widely available, and the western economy was vastly different. Women were not expected to work (and this remained the same until the 70s basically) and were instead expected societally to be homemakers while the husband was the breadwinner. Not only was the workforce different, but each of those men who won the bread for families with numerous children had a job which could pay for that, a house, a car, etc. Like I said, vastly different society and economy. Biological fertility is not the only factor as to why people used to have like 10 ten kids.
dont be scared, be brave, you are a mother now, and when you are worried be sure to have a brave father at your side, take care and good health to the baby form Norway.
This is nonsense, they simply didn’t talk about it as much back then. My wife and I just had a stillbirth at 20 weeks and when she opened up about it, her aunt, and her grandma told her about miscarriages they both had that they never told anyone about and my mom told me that my grandma had a stillbirth as well. All of those people went on to have many more children. It’s not that it is happening more, it’s just talked about more because it was a societal norm to keep that a secret.
Takeaway for best actions to take as a mother to have a fertile, potent baby: - Do not smoke - Do not drink alcohol - Avoid stress - Do not consume products that came into contact with industrially processed materials/chemicals. The only way you can check these boxes is to just move away to the country side and live like people lived in the old times when it comes to nutrition.
As long as that country side doesnt have any farmland nearby where they spray pesticides that blow all over the place in the wind… not really a practical solution
This is terrifying. It's already kind of known that 'there are problems with industrial products' but THIS, this is so unsettling. I mean, my whole life *will* be influenced by all the chemistry that is happening around me, and I do understand that I'll need to grow and breed my own food - but I didn't realized a bit how dangerous and urgent it was. Thank you so much for raising awareness about it, it means the world to me and hundreds of thousands of people. Thank you.
Search everything in detail about the microbiom and interstine flora. If this is already to damaged what is the case for majority in modern societys you can eat so healthy as you want the body is not able to absorb it properly. The sad news they do not make it better they make it worse with intent. They all talk about green new deal, co2 reduction and similar for creating the image they care but the direct posining of the population globaly gets worse not better with GMOs, nano in everyday product and even worse modern progressive medicine. he clip has one big fail not considering ove population. There are not enough jobs out j there for everyone. So even if we would have more younger people it wouldn't make anything better. In fact economy crashs down a the moment and things get worse. Which is one of the main reason they are on their eugenic agenda.
EVERYTHING WE ARE SOLD IN ALL THE BIG CORPORATE STORES IS CARCINOGENIC AND TAOXIC, from the chemicals in washing powder to the meat veg or watever. its ALL been in contact with or cleaned by or packaged in toxic substances, thisb is why cancer has gone up and up and up year after year, we are eating it!!! and this is no accident!!! and if u wonder who does this to us simply look at the royals the rockerfellers rothchilds warbergs duponts and all other elites that live until there 100 years old
@Night Watch It's not that they prefer a short life with luxuries, but that these people who run these megacorps are old as hell, why would they care about a world they won't be around to see?
^ overpopulation isn’t a real issue. high population density exists in major cities, but if you took the population of the world and gave every single person an equal amount of land, you’d have to travel hundreds of miles before seeing another person. the real problem is access. resources on earth are not finite, and the greatest resource at our disposal is the number of humans-because the only living things on the planet capable of solving the mess we created is ourselves.
I hope we can get back to a time when we could have this conversation and not be seen as spreading hate speech. But yes, I would like to see if her findings do or don't have any links to gender dysphoria.
I'm a plumber thinking about all the Polyethylene, Polybutylene, Poly Vinyl Chloride and Chlorinated Poly Vinyl Chloride used in water distribution systems for homes after watching this
Interesting, makes me want to fill up water at the local spring, although I’d be using plastic jugs, I’m not sure if I’d need to be worried about those too
Public school would never do so in this time. Too many politics involved and it would cause a lot of issues. Many people wouldn't be ready for exposing kids to truths as their parents live in lies. Public school takes more from you than you get from it.
I can tell you for a fact moving from a large city to a small town, I was surprised at how tall and healthy people looked. Msm will have you believing country people are all fat and obese but it’s simply not true. On average when I lived in the large city I’d see more people 5’9” and under, here where I live now I’d say the average is 5’9” and taller, many people being over 6’2”. Started growing my own veggies and fruits, because I may not be able to change anything about my body growth, I want to instill the proper way to live to my own children. We all have to stand together and start doing what’s right for ourselves. Over reliance in unnatural foods and chemicals is definitely the biggest threat to humanity
A lot of it just has to do with lifestyle. People out in the country are usually more outdoorsy and have to do some chores you might not in the city. Obesity rates are a bit worse in the country and it's speculated that's because they have to drive more. City people can definitely walk from place to place a bit more, but it also depends on your specific small town.
I haven't heard this term before, even though I grew up on a farm. I just figured farmers were strong because of all the manual work they did. I do remember admiring the physiques of the boys who bailed hay in the summer/early fall. 😄
When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. Scientists will say it was a global illusion. Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.

Thank you for making me laugh with this comment because honestly I was feeling kinda down after watching this video and realizing how little control I have regarding the chemicals that can negatively affect my future kids' lives.
This kind of content is beyond important to society as a whole and there is so much to take in and digest here. Phenomenal work and keep getting this kind of content out.
Some people who see this are like "meh, didn't affect me, I don't need to care" and continue living without making any changes to make some progress, to improve our situation. Unless it concerns them, they simply don't care. Some don't even care when something because of this happens to their kids. They think it's just a coincidence... when in fact it's big chemical corporations poisoning us with this shit.
This doctor is an incredibly intelligent, knowledgeable, and educated woman! What an incredible human being. She also has a way of talking. The illustrations helped, too.
I listened to her interview on the JRE and it honestly has me terrified of the future of fertility. It's like we're living through some sick and twisted nightmare
It's so tragic, how most of us will watch a few minutes of this video and then carry on with our lives, not changing our lifestyle and environment in the slightest in an attempt to counter what is lowering our fertility. 1973 wasn't even all that long ago, can you imagine where we'll be in 2073?
Part of it is our fault as men. We feed women's whims which does't lend itself toward a stable household Less respect for the man leads to more chaotic outcomes
@@ramblincapuchin9075 Everyone should be respected, starting with Mother Earth. Your anger is misplaced. Corporations have eroded laws that allow pollutants into the water and food supply. It has nothing to do with women vs men. We fight each other while they destroy the planet and run off with all our money.
only the healthy choosen super rich are going to have healthy children and the very best medicine living 120 years while the rest of the population dies out in an agonising way.
Its way worse than that, the unintended side effects of medical science is low child mortality removes the past filter for health selection, making people unhealthier by default. Add generous welfare systems and the problem is farmed
it's nice to hear that and nothing need to worry about in the future when you needing to plan for having children. Look at the population of humans I wish humans go extinct.
Seeing the person behind this channel, goddamn now I fully cherish you as a human being creating this content to share with the world. It’s incredibly important work you are doing man
@@AfterSkool seriously I'm an educator an I have spent all my days attempting to teach logic in the guise of college writing and this is very very important work . In reference to your other video...high virtue.
I'm so grateful to hear there is hope that we can reverse this! I just finished reading "It Starts With the Egg," and I was becoming so anxious that I need to make major changes ASAP even though my husband and I won't be trying for kids until he finishes his master's. I'm still intent on making healthier changes, but I don't feel petrified of irreversible damage.
I feel like on future RUclips people will be watching videos about our generation in shock, like how we watch videos about "Radium girls", Shoe-fitting fluoroscopes, and lead paint toys
it is very possible videos like this will not exist, and the potentiality of them ever being created in the first place, could be erased from mans mind completely, driven forward by a psychotic society of subversion and 'safety measures'.
@@jdawgdabeast really? Are you sure it’s gonna happen in the next couple of generation? I doubt it. a century or two maybe, but even then it’s unlikely
Mustard Gravy videos long ago are being deleted for “hate speech” or “misinformation”. People are brainwashed already. Just imagine the young generation will be your doctors, lawyers, politicians, teachers, actors. It will be different and everything will need to fit political correctness. I remember in the mid 2000s you could make jokes and be yourself but now you will be seen as homophobic, racist, hatful, etc. People are changing, social media is changing, time to wake up and stand out from the crowd.
Yes with things like Internet and Addiction to tv, video games, etc, to things like motivation, attention span, ability to form meaningful connections with others through experiencing novel things together, the list continues. There’s not much that can be done but watch this car crash in motion seeing as most of us are too far gone in this.
@@TravisTheSavage Growing food is not difficult but it does require a learning curve. Start by container gardening if you do not have a yard. Many cities offer Community Gardening plots for a small fee.
Of course they are, the earth is overpopulated and filled with garbage. What kind of reasonable person would even think about bringing an innocent child into this boring dystopia?
@@MP-dn4bs Have you not noticed the massive amount of unreasonable people colleges are churning out on a daily basis? Reasonable people having kids is not enough.
What's important, that this is not only for reproductive rights, but also a way to live with more energy, strenght and power, to live with a happier mental state and motivation to enjoy life. I think this is very important!!
@@rafinhasomente Wouldn't that mean that the problem should solve itself? Darwinism says that the least-fertile lineages will simply sputter out and die, leaving the more fertile generations alive.
@@bugjams Well, not when something interferes in that, you know, if the pthalates are used everywhere and affecting every mother so every male born will be getting those effects.
I agree - Its' as if governments arpnd the world and big pharma don't want us to have these things, but only want to offer halfway solutions... I wonder why?
The FDA has been aware of this for a long time yet they are more interested in regulating stuff like vaping to support big tobacco. Cigarette smoking reached an all time low by 2018, because of vaping, which hurt big tobacco. We need to get lobbyist out of the FDA and other agencies. If you compare FDA regulations from Europe to USA, it is staggering what FDA allows because of corporate interest.
Except Europe has a siginificantly higher rate of young people smoking and drinking conpared to the US? Czechia has one of the highest rates of cigarette smokers in the world
Why aren't we asking questions about the dramatic increase in the use of vaccines and birth control pills? There's been a staggering increase in those things over the same time frame.
@@jude8943 because correlation doesn't equal causation. Vaccines have been in use over the past century and inoculation, a form of proto-vaccine, was being used for centuries. Vaccines help prevent disease, infact we've seen what happens when people don't get vaccinated with new outbreaks of long suppressed diseases like Measles among the unvaccinated.
I love that this educated scientist pauses before she used the street names and without laughing but you could still hear the smile. You can tell she has a sense of humor and is a good person.
@@JustinL614 Yes. According to the National Institute for Made Up Statistics a 1.2 second pause before laughing is the emotional threshold that separates normal good people from raging psychopaths.
@Dr retardo yah which PhD do you "believe"? Science isn't a noun it's a verb. Always question the current scientific concensus. That's how it advances.
yes however what kind of exersize.. the thing is in olden times it wasn't a neccesity because everyone got their steps and lifts in by just doing regular work. but because our society is so money hungry and look it's a desk go sit behind it and work now people are forced to exersize in ways that do not feel productive at all.. if i could exersize by actually doing something productive instead of just running on a threadmill going nowhere or looking like a fucking fool in the streets while jogging. then everyone would be a lot happier and healthier..
@@litchtheshinigami8936 there are plenty of ways to exercise even if it’s not part of daily life anymore, cardio might be boring but lifting feels productive because you can see your own gains. boxing classes are another good one that actually give you a self-defense skill
I mean it is improvement eventually, but initially there are always mistakes. Good example is the fireplace. Fireplaces killed a lot of people for multiple reasons, but in the end when people corrected those mistakes, it was a net positive. Also this video is interesting to watch: /watch?v=Im4iekcPlc0&ab_channel=AbsoluteHistory
The monkey who rescues the fish from a river and puts him into a tree thinks he is improving the fishs circumstance. The truth is none of us are wise enough to know what is good for ourselves much less everyone. Then again, maybe TRYING so hard to improve things IS the problem....
Even if people talk about this nothing is going to happen. We all use so much plastic in our everyday lives it's never going to be replace or even slowed down.
@@arieson7715 Not even the school system, look up how there is plastic in our food now. Fish are consuming tiny bits of plastics, pigs are literally feed grinded up waste with plastic bags its insane.
@@Roy-gj2fx Well it's going to happen one way or another, the oil that plastic is made from will run out eventually. Maybe that hemp stuff could come in handy
The toxic production standards of treating employees like numbers instead of individuals and putting ridiculous amounts of stress on them has definitely contributed to this as well as the amount of chemicals put in our food, plus unhealthy food being more expensive then healthy food, I mean my god in the 15th century bacon was expensive and considered noble food and fish was peasant food.
Soaps, shampoos, GMO foods, round up crops, Soy, RBGH meat, eggs, dairy, Meds, and too much screen time. Also not enough sun light and sunscreen causes cancer. So basically anything conventional is poisoning, get sun light and lift heavy weights.
Every man should have the right to regular testosterone levels. Testosterone is everything: energy level, strength, libido. This needs global action NOW.
All steroid hormones in the body are made from cholesterol, so eat more high protein animal foods and full fat dairy and your testosterone levels will naturally rise. Half the population are on cholesterol lowering medications and men are then wondering why they are growing week and feeble before their time. Cholesterol is not the enemy, system inflammation is to blame for blocked arteries, Cholesterol is sent there by the body to heal.
Helps explain transmania we are seeing , also the destruction of nuclear family could be linked to hormones because nobody can get along in the westerners
“Trust the Science!” Yelled from the corporate and high offices of our most successful to the mouths of the common down trodden because they were told to believe their interests are the same. Yet, this is what the science has given us and the fact this isn’t globally discussed is alarming.
They aren't giving us science. And if they did, they'd never say to trust it. Science is all about doubting and proving wrong or right and questioning everything.
I think the problems started a long time ago, when people started believing man-made stuff was superior to natural stuff. Baby formula is a good example. Advertising told us it was better than breast milk. And alot of people believed it and bought it...some (like my mom) were urged on by a doctor and hospital staff. Now we know the benefits of breast milk, and we say, "duh, it's natural". But people back then who trusted advertising and the science they spouted bought the baby formula! Some people still believe it's better. I also remember when alot of groceries came in glass containers. Then in the early 80s plastic began to take over. Now we have all kinds of problems from it. Maybe if we had known about bpa and other chemicals back then we would have chosen to buy stuff in glass, then plastic wouldn't have survived as a container because they wouldn't have sold their products. But the problem isn't plastic, or science. It's arrogance, greed, and whatever it is that makes one person not care about the next. What we need is a solution to the evil in mankind. But in 10k+ years of civilization we haven't been able to fix it. Why? What would that solution be? Love. If we all loved one another, we would share everything and not want to hurt each other, there would be no need for money or greed. Jesus Christ said that's what we should do. Can you imagine a world like that? Where there was no money, no hate, no crime, no fear, no greed, no hunger, no rejection? It would be awesome.
@@db-pz1dh i think we humans as a whole are doomed. People are just too greedy and lazy, they don't really care about each other not even about themselves, and the end, sooner or later, will be because of our own stupidy and blindness. It will never be enough for some common folks to change, it's the people in power at the top of the piramid that need to change, and that will probably never happen.
What is the solution to this problem? - Everyone ( me and you) should put pressure on companies to take harmful chemicals out of their products and packaging. Boycott companies who use harmful packaging. Second point - The no.1 priority of most modern companies is profit (not safety for end user), thus its a good idea to be skeptical of their products
"The fertility cycle is a cycle entirely of living creatures passing again and again through birth, growth, maturity, death, and decay." ~ Wendell Berry
@Random Stuff that everything you mentionnend is a problem of how the ressorces are distributed. Its linked with capitalism and the globalization of the markets, not the amount of people. Poverty is a method of human control... The earth has enough space and bounty for 10B but is beign prayed upon by the top 1%. Same thing goes for climate change. Its a direct side effect of the machine the powers that be uses to keep themselves in power. And of coooooooouuurrse the use the masses as a scapegoat to justify all the issues of the world.
@@johnmad9587there's a difference put corporation are still an entity that has a greater power under a capitalist system. I also put anarcho-capitalism in the same mix if that's where you come from. The free-market in its purest form still heads toward ginormous entities that influence and govern life. It's all fine and dandy until the Amazone Militia comes knocking at your door to send you off in their lithium mines...
That was very interesting, because I am currently pregnant with a boy. I hope I managed to keep him healthy. I'm always worried about him, but what I haven't thought about is that the exposure to chemicals I have is going to change his future. Therefore I will make sure even more that I stay away from a lot of harmful things...

Cans are lined with plastics!! Glass is best. There are a few cans that label non-BPA but very few and they cost more...but...the old saying - Pay now or pay later comes to mind.
@@lnsk BPA free doesn't mean it won't contain another chemical that is very similar to BPA, for example BPS or BPAF. Think of it like drugs, this pain killer doesn't contain morphine, but instead it would have something that metabolizes into morphine in your body, say Codeine. That's how a lot of the times you can get by regulations or offer a product that doesn't get a bad public image while pretty much being the same thing as the frowned upon BPA/Morphine/PFOS.
I enjoyed that she backed up her research . It’s a passive approach to a problem little of us know of. I think the main take away is stay healthy. Maintain physical and metal fitness. Be aware of things we eat and drink. Respect your self, the planet and each other. We all live here on this living planet.
Couldn’t have said it any better.. problem is society is so deep into a unhealthy way of lifestyle they find it hard to flip it.(Only if we knew the real risk) For example my mother smoked whilst pregnant, a point she actually brought up (narrator).. Once it becomes OBVIOUSLY evident that’s when ppl will try to change but will it be to late then ? 🧏🏽♂️
I thought that I did that back in the days but you have to educate yourself in detail. Only eating veggies and whole grain alone isn't enough anymore. Food should be truely organic, water should be filtered with good filters (the bad ones get gems very fast), careful with clothing and everything you buy considering chemicals,...etc.
I’ve been bringing up the subject of failing fertility for the past decade, since my grandkids have come along. Huge difference between my generation having kids in the 80’s and my kids generation the last 10-12 years
Boy am I glad my mother was an anti- plastic advocate. We recycled everything by 1971, and chemicals were few and far between in our house. As a child I had chemistry sets, microscopes and telescopes. Everything had to be examined by my brother before I could handle it. So, I am fine, and so are my brothers and sisters. I still worry, that at some point, the plastic will be so prolific in our environment that it will be hard to avoid, even for the most cautious parents. We need to change our ways before our ways change us!!!
So do you limit your consumption of products with plastic in particular? I heard that the ‘recycling’ symbol on most plastic is an outdated piece of misinformation from the industrial era after finding out that most plastic can’t actually be recycled. Apparently less than 10% of global plastic is recycled. I’m quite interested in your mother being an anti-plastic advocate. For not just simply throwing plastic into one bin, rubbish the second, but for actually caring about the impact it has beyond our homes. Not to sound like I’m carrying out an interrogation… but have you any strong views on sustainability and how we, as a community could promote sustainable packaging for products in particular? I’d love to hear your input and perhaps mention your outlook in my technology project on sustainable packaging. It would be nice to include some different ideas and outlooks on the matter! We have to design and make a display that promotes sustainable packaging with one control system of our choice.
@@laurae7777 We were recycling and mulching everthing since about 1971. I simply don't use much, so there is not much to recycle. I buy 2 liter bottles, then pour it into a glass. (Then I use the same glass all day.) If a product is in a box, bottle or sack, I will not let the clerk put it in another bag, bottle, or box!!! I try not to use plastic bags or anything plastic in the way of packaging, I try to use paper cardboard, foil, or just hold the product in my hand. I do not throw away food with trash. I separate the two, so food can be put out for fertilizer, mulch, or taken by waste management!!! (I have septic, so, no sewage, and I put a lot of food scraps down the drain.) And the paper, boxes, etc. can stay until there is enough to haul off to the county landfill. I compact everything. In the last 15 months, I threw out 8/39 gallon trash bags worth of trash. That includes, trash, moving boxes and related trash, food garbage, bottles, and car trash!!! The idea is not so much too recycle, but, not to use so much packaging in the first place!!! We overpackage everything, and we need to stop it. As I like to say: "A man never polluted a river by drinking from it, It was when he started pissing in it, that things started too go wrong." Brother James Kendall Moore OSB OFS OSC.
@@laurae7777 Everything has a lifetime. We don't know the exact time it will take for plastic to be gone. However, if the "Anasazi Indians," were throwing away "broken pottery," and "corn cobs," 2000 years ago, and the remains are still here, then how long do you think it will be, before plastic trash is gone???
It's basically impossible to avoid plastic now. Even if you never eat or drink out of anything plastic it's still used around you. Store receipts, credit cards clothing etc. If you go to the hospital and end up needing an IV or shot the syringe is plastic and so is the IV bag and tubes going to it. We live in a world that has become so reliant on plastic I'm not sure what we're going to do to find a suitable replacement material. It's too durable, lightweight, and multi use I don't think anyone could find a better material. Too bad it's toxic
@@mjasz4341 it is. A bulk of plastic is from unnecessary packaging. We need to make a change to sustainable packaging, and only use plastic when necessary. Then there’s the problem of deforestation! Everything used globally regardless will have knock on affects

What better way to invalidate certain information than to associate it with a source that is considered dubious at best. Remember how MIB put alien life citings in tabloids?

I've come back to this video three times now, because my brain is having a hard time processing why this news isn't on every news channel across the world. Seems so odd that something so important and impactful is buried in a (relatively) little known YT channel. If true, this should inform national policy and family planning at every level.
Productivity vs income has also been on a steep decline. This trend heavily influences the birthrate. Households with over 250,000k income on average have less children. Economic uncertainty drives low birth rates among developed nations. Middle class families have taken the largest hit in the last 60 years.
@Levi Halperin Economic uncertainty is not the same thing as financial uncertainty. Economic uncertainty can exist while some individuals still have comfortable incomes.
@@danielclaudio5764 That doesn't seem like a useful difference. This whole analysis is cockeyed, because having kids (in America) makes you more likely to be poor. Rich people rarely have children until they are financially and emotionally prepared to do so. That's why they tend to have fewer kids.
I love that you incorporated the live video and sources into the artwork, your videos are amazing and you always cover such relevant topics, thank you!
M After the population drops, and the regular drones like us die off, the elites and their close support will start growing healthy food. And they'll do it again, if not stopped.
Id argue that it's perfect timing in tune with the biblical scriptures, I.e. that mankind will be confronted over it's sins and that evil shall be cast into torment. That evil includes these industries and governments and we the people. This just adds a lot more precedent to get right with God especially but still everything is starting to add up. Our food reserves are going bye-bye, we're using up all the freshwater, natural causes are becoming even more dangerous thanks to our lifestyles (disasters like Cherynobl anf Fukushima.... Yeah were royally and totally screwed). How much more will it take for people to wake up.
I remember hearing about this outcome when I was 14! I’m 53 now! This was allotted to plastic in water and environment and it was frogs that were the catalyst for this hypothesis. The news show was called “What’s Up” a kids news show we watched every Friday in grade eight. So why any surprise now, and why has it taken so long!
Cleaning up plastics makes no money. I hope your question was rhetorical, in 53 years you should have learned that all progress is a lie sold by the growth driven corporations, institutions and governments.
remember those commercials in the 90's early 2000's that were just propaganda for Plastics? no brand or company or application, just "Plastics makes life better" such blatant propaganda :(
"Back in 1960, an average couple had 5 children. That's the whole world. Now they have a little less than half that: 2.4 children." I'm not promoting plastic use or trying to refute any data presented on endocrine disruption, but its an amazing stretch to suggest that plastics, drugs, food, and a lack of exercise have been primarily responsible for the drop in global average (terrible statistic) birth rates.
What else might it be then? I don't see how it can be anything *but* that. Putting poison into the environment is gonna have some kind of deleterious effect, and it makes sense that one way in which it would affect organisms is in their genitals
@@wizkidgamer9942 Increased education, access to, and use of contraception (fewer unplanned kids). Changing economy (need to support yourselves before you can support kids) Changing social pressures (there's a lot less pressure on women to be stay-at-home baby factories) Consumer culture (more ways to stay entertained than existed in the 1960's; more ways to find fulfillment than existed in the 1960's) Changing demographics (Increasing male/female ratio) Increasing work hours (less time for kids across the board; more women working and longer hours) Again, I'm not saying plastics are great or that chemicals don't affect the body. There have been many studies and connections made between (mostly) plastics and decreasing quality and numbers of sperm. But if a couple desires to have kids then decreased fertility is only going to increase the time it takes to conceive, its not going to make it a sudden coin flip on whether you are able to have kids or not. Basically, people just don't want to have 5 kids anymore.
@@user-ol7bt4wp1j And you do know that I'm talking about more than just decreased sperm counts? That decreased sperm count cannot account for the roughly 100% decrease in GLOBAL birth rates? And that decreased sperm counts do not equate to total infertility in some portion of the population? I do recognize that that plastics affect hormones. I do not agree that it is the driver of the global reduction in birth rate since the 60's.
What about improved surveillance? Laboratory technologies have improved vastly in the last 50 years, has this been considered? Also, do we even measure sperm counts in the same way as did in the past? Honestly an increase in disease can be attributed to a better ability to detect it.
Always blame it on plastic, but never blame it on juvenile men who now mastrubate 5 times a day and calls it healthy. Then wonder why they have zero fertility and testosterone.
@@rainpain3655 she did mention that her research is only one part of the overall problem. Also, I agree with you that pornography presents a serious issue to the mental health of young people. I've spoken with psyc professionals that have young men complaining of ED, which is not supposed to be a young man's problem.
@@levioneill9677 it has nothing to do with pornography, I mean of course never watch pornography it's just masturbation. Men now think that masturbation is healthy when it destroys you completely. Your semen ain't a toy, its your life force and can create a child with it, it's not to be wasted for your own pleasure. Doctors will always blame it on plastic but will never blame it on mastrubation which they do themselves yet even calls it healthy themselves. Gotta love the bullshit of the pharmaceutical industry....
The environmental and social pressures that, for thousands of years, demanded the highest possible fertility rate... no longer exist in the modern world.... She is looking at the human response to an absence of something over the last 100-200 years... and assuming the cause must be the presence of something in the last 50-100 years... Nice lady... But flawed logic.... Evolving a new arm... is not the same as RETURNING to a prior biological state...

Humans have forgotten that they belong to nature, not the other way around.
The FDA still thinks phlalates and other chemicals, not allowed in other countries, are safe. They allow all kinds of crap into our food, etc. Buy organic, community supported agriculture, farmers markets, or grow your own.
Start a garden and can your own foods. My grandparents lived in town and had a small backyard. They filled that backyard with asparagus, raspberries, tomatoes, beans, lettuce, spinach etc and they also canned enough food that lasted them through winter. They also bought grass fed beef and had a pig that ate table scraps. They ate healthy and were fit with no ailments. They had glass insert thermos for their water and would fill it every day when working outside. I now have that same garden and can or freeze the excess vegetables. I make my own spaghetti sauce with shredded carrots to replace the sugar and it tastes awesome. We need to stop eating processed foods and drinking bottled water or having coffee from a Keurig.
The middle group, the adults can’t keep up with paying for the elderly and they’re a large group so there for we are choosing not to have children because of costs. Not saying this is related to lower sperm count but it certainly effects us as a society.
The middle group has been too stupid not to invest in their pension. Indeed, on an individual basis it's very reasonable to plan children, because having to neglect children isn't good for their future. However, when you look at the society in general, it's actually a good thing people keep getting children, even if they can't afford them individually. If the people that can afford many children don't (unlike Elon Musk) while the poor people can't due to financial shortage, then the middle class has fix it, which they can't insufficiently. Humankind should have a discussion first what's tolerable to fix the fertility crisis

Such large populations are unnatural, humanity has had no predators or other major threats for too long. We used to kill each other for land and resources, now we have no natural selection other than slow decay
I have no formal training in this field but I have been trying to tell people this for at least 20 years. I am glad she was able to intelligently say what I am not able to say. I just hope people are willing to listen.
This video is so important and eye opening. We constantly surround ourselves with nasty chemicals all because 1) businesses don't understand the chemistry of the products they are using most of the time, and when they do, they care more about profits than safety. 2) Governments also care more about money than about health as well. They don't want to be held accountable for allowing the use of these products/ using these products. Both business leaders and government leaders are afraid to look into things like this because it means more things to worry about, more accountability to be had. All of these points are extremely valid and the literature tied to her points are all well-done, critical studies. Denying these pieces of information shows fear and ignorance. And at the very least, even if these issues aren't occurring, conversations should continue to be had, and investigations should continue to prove these chemicals don't affect us. It never hurts to better understand human biology, which we definitely don't fully understand yet. If you aren't worried about this, you aren't paying attention. Declining sperm count happened too dramatically, widespread, and too quickly to be due to genetic factors. It is most certainly environmental factors. And guess what, nature hasn't ever created a mass swath of chemicals that cause this -- only people.
ik this is a joke, but fun fact, it is unironically true. Alex Jones may be an insane rambling madman, but that actually happened. Well, it wasn't them just being gay, it was frogs developing both male and female genitals and becoming less effective at reproduction as a result.
After Skool should do one of these on male testosterone reduction. I read a report that says the average testosterone of a 22 year old male in 2021 is equivalent of the average 67 year old in the year 2000. That is INSANE.
Could you provide a source? That is extremely usettling. It's not that I dont believe you, is that I would like to cite it when discussing it with other people.

I grew up on a farm. We had a huge garden (my grandparents did too) and drank well water. I remember having many summertime meals that we're completely from our farm. We had a pond too stocked with fish. My mom, aunts & grandparents would can and freeze fruits, vegetables, salsa, pies etc. Now, I (we) have 4 kids: all tall, athletic, and good at school..all easy pregnancies. Maybe there's something to this. I would like to see more community gardens/orchards to share the workload and share the bounty. It's amazing the harvest that can come from a relatively small plot of land that has been well-tended to. With most moderate-sized personal gardens and fruit trees, it's nearly impossible to use it all up by yourself!
Being athletic or doing well in school doesn't have anything to do with your DNA. And being tall isn't something you can change in your DNA with a healthy environment.
@@monsieurLDN a healthy environment can allow dna to reach its full potential, even if parents come from an unhealthy environment and have stunted growth (which only seems genetic because the people where they're from are also short due to the same environment)
I'm currently studying for my Masters in Chemistry at UM. I did a joint paper for a project on Phthalates (plasticizers) 2 years ago, and you would be surprised just how common, and harmful they are. None of the studies and research I based the paper on were my own. Now, we are looking at Atrazine, and actually doing tests and research on rats. Even at concentrations below federal standards, we see higher rates of developmental abnormalities in male and female reproductive tracts. Previous studies and research show many other harmful effects of atrazine, they are similar to the effects of Phthalates. Atrazine is a common herbicide, the US alone uses roughly 100 million pounds of it each year. It's water soluble (7mg/100ml) and easily finds its way into the water supply.
Didn't Alex Jones say that Atrazine was being put in the water that turned the frogs gay? Even people like him are raising heck about this issue. What was the line, ah yes it was "They're putting chemicals in the water that turn the freaken frogs gay!".
@@RSAgility Actually Alex Jones did talk about this as one of his many conspiracy theories on how the government and companies put Atrazine in the water that have the effect of turning the frogs gay, so this is a hot button issue in that crowd too.
@@savsmaster4183 Alex Jones keep being proven right over the years and people still consider him a nut job somehow. Sure he's been wrong *some* times but he's right 90% of the time

@@heyhoe168 While feminism is a serious supremacist hate movement. I can say with 100% certainty this is not a fake problem. I studied xenoestrogens for 2 years under a endotoxicologist and they are rapidly leading to the extinction of all animals that use estrogen as a hormone.
Thank you so much for shining a light on these issues in such an understandable way. Education is key. That is why we became the first mail-in test for phthalates, parabens, BPA, and other common endocrine disruptors. We also audit consumers' daily food, cleaning, washing, and lifestyle habits to let them know exactly which products are causing these exposures. Learning what's inside of you is CRUCIAL for your wellness. We take the guesswork out, much like your educational videos are. Thanks again, Dr. Swan.

As we now, in the actual society, “gender” is more of an issue than in the past. There are more homosexuals, more transgenders etc. Not that it’s a bad thing, but it may be related to this fertility crisis, a lack of testosterone and the like. Hence it may be interesting to study testosterone, estrogen and endocriniens levels in those individuals.
I don't know shit about science so I can't say but I'm pretty sure homosexuals don't have low testosterone, in fact quite the opposite most of the time in my experience
When you’re taught that the world is overpopulated and that resources are limited. The promotion of Two parent working and family dynamics are being destroyed by social structure.
This may be the reason for some trans issues but then again transgender people have existed for thousands of years; before Europeans came to America they were an integral part of many native American communities, in Incan society transgender people were shamans and spiritual leaders called Quariwarmi who even had their own god known as Chuqui Chinchay, these people were some of the first exterminated by European settlers because their existence posed the greatest threat to their religious indoctrination and cultural domination. There are also many other instances of trans people in non-European societies across the world. I don't see how any of this would pertain to transmen but I'd definitely be curious to see more research on the subject in relation to transwomen.

@@SpaceMarine500 Some were probably intersex but we have no way of knowing if they were or weren't, what we do know from the notes of the spanish is that there were men who dressed in womens attire, also the concept of gender as we think of it today was for the most part a colonial import. For example in quechua gendered words and pronouns don't exist, there is no he or she just one pronoun for people.
Bein' real here as a father of 2... what's the selling point you would make to kids, today, if you were encouraging them to come into the world? A house they can't afford. Assurance in health. We got some great food and the best videogames ever. That's about it. You're going to work 11 hours a day for it.
Yeah thats what i was thinking man! i think this "Fertility Crisis" is a very good thing to humanity, this world where we are living right now is so F***ED UP and it's not even worth leaving the peaceful void for it.
You can live in a house without owning it, you know? You take things you can afford for granted and ignore them, and complain about things you can't afford. For example, do you afford internet and smartphone? Internet and easy/instant access to it is one of the greatest thing humanity ever built. But you don't consider that a selling point for your kids, it's like tap water for you, not worth considering (tap water being another great thing for humanity). You want a big house in a big city, a brand new electric car, whatever expensive things you can't afford, to be able to enjoy life.
@@TheMa5terMau5 A fertility crisis is a horrible thing. Many people are choosing to not have kids due to the economic situation, and while that is a major problem, It's nothing compared to being INCAPABLE of having children! Even if we do solve all of the worlds issue, It will be for naught if we go extinct over it.

Out of all the plastics, as far as I know, Polyethylene and Silicone (sans plasticizers) are the only 100% truly non-toxic plastics... and even then, that's with the right synthesis pathways - some processes will leave residues of toxic manufactory co-factors into the finished product, while other are completely pure. PETE and Polycarbonate are made OUT OF Phthalate (former) and USING BPA (latter) as a primary part of their synthesis pathway. No good. Irredeemable. (Unless chemists can make a pathway for polycarbonate that somehow avoids using BPA, or guarantees its 100% exclusion from the finished product.) And don't even get me started on Plastic Textile Fabrics. I went of a big kick a few years ago of filling my wardrobe with everything "Synthetic". Big mistake. I'm rapidly replacing everything with natural fibers. More comfy, no static electricity, easier on the skin. No microplastics. Plastic isn't the problem - cheap humans who 1) buy low-quality products, and 2) participate in the Industrial Race-To-The-Bottom are the problem. We can produce and recycle / reclaim / dispose of anything we want... it's just a matter of intent and effort.

Lockdowns really helped further the risk factors to these trends. Gyms closing down, the stress of the last 24 months, the increased use of vices in people has all furthered this process of lowered sperm counts. At least in my opinion.
I've been surrounded by two medical workers every time I get home and they both work in emergency jobs. I have been exposed to dozens of chances to get COVID and I haven't gotten it yet.

My wife had 4 miscarriages on our way to have children. After much research, we both ate more ancestral foods, consumed reverse osmosis water, and used as many natural and organic household products as possible. Lo and behold, we had 2 healthy girls back to back conceived on the first try.
@@connergalles7106 Essentially trying to eat like our ancestors. We eat local, pasture-raised beef, chicken, and lamb. We get eggs from a neighbor who has hens. Our produce comes from local farms and we eat what is in season. Supplement with things like liver, heart, and orchic tablets. Avoid any processed seed or vegetable oils.
This is very interesting because i've always believed the chemicals they put in our food, the plastics we drink from and the lifestyle we live has been bad for us, but i didn't attribute it all to the declining reproduction rates. I was simply referring it to the massive increase in other issues like depression. Moving to the forest and living off the land is sounding even better now 😂
Sorry to burst your bubble of hope but microplastics have been found all the way in the poles, in areas where there has never been a human presence. When plastics break down, they just don't disappear, they become microplastics and the wind and water can carry those anywhere on the planet. There's even a study which found insane levels of microplastics inside newborns since we ingest and absorb them and then mothers pass those down to fetuses...
Declining reproductive rates have more to do with increased access to contraceptives than an actual decrease in individual fertility. Not saying microplastics and the like cannot decrease this, but we still have countries with EXTREMELY high fertility and honestly greater risk of exposure to things like pesticides.
Doesn't matter if you "live off the land." The microplastics are in the air you breathe, the water you drink and the soil that you would grow food in. There is no escaping.

Exactly, this may be called the plastic civilization in the history, if we could survive. It is all of our lives, every production is like plastic.

I had an early miscarriage (chemical pregnancy) in August. I'm 22, no health issues, don't drink, don't smoke, eat pretty healthily and was a healthy BMI. Thank God I got pregnant two weeks later and so far the baby is healthy, but everywhere I look younger women are having miscarriages and trouble conceiving, whereas my great-grandmother had 11 children. This is very real.
I thank God for this baby and my young daughter, but I am so scared for their future.
Limit exposure to plastics, drugs phone usage ect. Have her an future kids get plenty of excerise in fields an parks have them attend social gatherings with kids their ages. An watch as they grow into well rounded, healthy kids.
There're also societal differences to consider with what you've said. Society was vastly different socio-economically speaking back when our grandparents were born. I'm 25, and my four grandparents were born between 1918 and 1932. Back then, tons of people still lived rurally working lives of agricultural subsistence, contraception was not nearly as widely available, and the western economy was vastly different. Women were not expected to work (and this remained the same until the 70s basically) and were instead expected societally to be homemakers while the husband was the breadwinner. Not only was the workforce different, but each of those men who won the bread for families with numerous children had a job which could pay for that, a house, a car, etc. Like I said, vastly different society and economy. Biological fertility is not the only factor as to why people used to have like 10 ten kids.
Your great grandmother wasn't v a x x e d
dont be scared, be brave, you are a mother now, and when you are worried be sure to have a brave father at your side, take care and good health to the baby form Norway.
This is nonsense, they simply didn’t talk about it as much back then. My wife and I just had a stillbirth at 20 weeks and when she opened up about it, her aunt, and her grandma told her about miscarriages they both had that they never told anyone about and my mom told me that my grandma had a stillbirth as well. All of those people went on to have many more children. It’s not that it is happening more, it’s just talked about more because it was a societal norm to keep that a secret.
Takeaway for best actions to take as a mother to have a fertile, potent baby:
- Do not smoke
- Do not drink alcohol
- Avoid stress
- Do not consume products that came into contact with industrially processed materials/chemicals.
The only way you can check these boxes is to just move away to the country side and live like people lived in the old times when it comes to nutrition.
Phthalates is harder to avoid because it's in the environment. It's effecting animals.
And get a high quality water filter.
Do not eat from plastics and ready meals also
Do not get 35 vaccines before age 6
As long as that country side doesnt have any farmland nearby where they spray pesticides that blow all over the place in the wind… not really a practical solution
This is terrifying. It's already kind of known that 'there are problems with industrial products' but THIS, this is so unsettling. I mean, my whole life *will* be influenced by all the chemistry that is happening around me, and I do understand that I'll need to grow and breed my own food - but I didn't realized a bit how dangerous and urgent it was. Thank you so much for raising awareness about it, it means the world to me and hundreds of thousands of people. Thank you.

@Shadow K reborn it will help reduce population. it will prevent overpopulation
As a man you should see the enemy: we are disappearing and are constantly being attacked to be feminized.
^ overpopulation isn’t a real issue. high population density exists in major cities, but if you took the population of the world and gave every single person an equal amount of land, you’d have to travel hundreds of miles before seeing another person. the real problem is access. resources on earth are not finite, and the greatest resource at our disposal is the number of humans-because the only living things on the planet capable of solving the mess we created is ourselves.
@Shadow K reborn yes lol XD

This makes me think of the term "farmer strength". It's true on many levels.
I can tell you for a fact moving from a large city to a small town, I was surprised at how tall and healthy people looked. Msm will have you believing country people are all fat and obese but it’s simply not true. On average when I lived in the large city I’d see more people 5’9” and under, here where I live now I’d say the average is 5’9” and taller, many people being over 6’2”. Started growing my own veggies and fruits, because I may not be able to change anything about my body growth, I want to instill the proper way to live to my own children. We all have to stand together and start doing what’s right for ourselves. Over reliance in unnatural foods and chemicals is definitely the biggest threat to humanity
A lot of it just has to do with lifestyle. People out in the country are usually more outdoorsy and have to do some chores you might not in the city.
Obesity rates are a bit worse in the country and it's speculated that's because they have to drive more. City people can definitely walk from place to place a bit more, but it also depends on your specific small town.
I haven't heard this term before, even though I grew up on a farm. I just figured farmers were strong because of all the manual work they did. I do remember admiring the physiques of the boys who bailed hay in the summer/early fall. 😄
With the mechanization of farms, I don't think so anymore. Although farmers in poor countries aren't that strong either because they're starving.

Thank you for making me laugh with this comment because honestly I was feeling kinda down after watching this video and realizing how little control I have regarding the chemicals that can negatively affect my future kids' lives.
But it doesn't keep you STD free!
This kind of content is beyond important to society as a whole and there is so much to take in and digest here. Phenomenal work and keep getting this kind of content out.
Not enough people are going to see this and it's sad.
its also because pron was not so common in olden days, that it is now today.
Some people who see this are like "meh, didn't affect me, I don't need to care" and continue living without making any changes to make some progress, to improve our situation. Unless it concerns them, they simply don't care. Some don't even care when something because of this happens to their kids. They think it's just a coincidence... when in fact it's big chemical corporations poisoning us with this shit.

It's so tragic, how most of us will watch a few minutes of this video and then carry on with our lives, not changing our lifestyle and environment in the slightest in an attempt to counter what is lowering our fertility. 1973 wasn't even all that long ago, can you imagine where we'll be in 2073?

The toxic production standards of treating employees like numbers instead of individuals and putting ridiculous amounts of stress on them has definitely contributed to this as well as the amount of chemicals put in our food, plus unhealthy food being more expensive then healthy food, I mean my god in the 15th century bacon was expensive and considered noble food and fish was peasant food.
It's the plastic. Plastic pipes, plastic food containers, plastic water bottles, plastic this and plastic that.
you also have to account for the estrogen in water sources, since it's not propperly cleansed in water treatment plants
Could be birth control pills increasing the levels of estrogen in drinking water. Drinking water not necessarily fresh drinking water.

i agree this is the definition of an externality
All steroid hormones in the body are made from cholesterol, so eat more high protein animal foods and full fat dairy and your testosterone levels will naturally rise. Half the population are on cholesterol lowering medications and men are then wondering why they are growing week and feeble before their time. Cholesterol is not the enemy, system inflammation is to blame for blocked arteries, Cholesterol is sent there by the body to heal.

They aren't giving us science. And if they did, they'd never say to trust it. Science is all about doubting and proving wrong or right and questioning everything.
@@sortofanoakyafterbirth3661 say that again for the people in the back Mane
I think the problems started a long time ago, when people started believing man-made stuff was superior to natural stuff. Baby formula is a good example. Advertising told us it was better than breast milk. And alot of people believed it and bought it...some (like my mom) were urged on by a doctor and hospital staff. Now we know the benefits of breast milk, and we say, "duh, it's natural". But people back then who trusted advertising and the science they spouted bought the baby formula! Some people still believe it's better.
I also remember when alot of groceries came in glass containers. Then in the early 80s plastic began to take over. Now we have all kinds of problems from it. Maybe if we had known about bpa and other chemicals back then we would have chosen to buy stuff in glass, then plastic wouldn't have survived as a container because they wouldn't have sold their products.
But the problem isn't plastic, or science. It's arrogance, greed, and whatever it is that makes one person not care about the next. What we need is a solution to the evil in mankind. But in 10k+ years of civilization we haven't been able to fix it. Why? What would that solution be? Love. If we all loved one another, we would share everything and not want to hurt each other, there would be no need for money or greed. Jesus Christ said that's what we should do. Can you imagine a world like that? Where there was no money, no hate, no crime, no fear, no greed, no hunger, no rejection? It would be awesome.
@@db-pz1dh i think we humans as a whole are doomed. People are just too greedy and lazy, they don't really care about each other not even about themselves, and the end, sooner or later, will be because of our own stupidy and blindness. It will never be enough for some common folks to change, it's the people in power at the top of the piramid that need to change, and that will probably never happen.
Truer words were never spoken…
What is the solution to this problem? - Everyone ( me and you) should put pressure on companies to take harmful chemicals out of their products and packaging. Boycott companies who use harmful packaging. Second point - The no.1 priority of most modern companies is profit (not safety for end user), thus its a good idea to be skeptical of their products

Boy am I glad my mother was an anti- plastic advocate. We recycled everything by 1971, and chemicals were few and far between in our house. As a child I had chemistry sets, microscopes and telescopes. Everything had to be examined by my brother before I could handle it. So, I am fine, and so are my brothers and sisters. I still worry, that at some point, the plastic will be so prolific in our environment that it will be hard to avoid, even for the most cautious parents. We need to change our ways before our ways change us!!!
So do you limit your consumption of products with plastic in particular? I heard that the ‘recycling’ symbol on most plastic is an outdated piece of misinformation from the industrial era after finding out that most plastic can’t actually be recycled. Apparently less than 10% of global plastic is recycled.
I’m quite interested in your mother being an anti-plastic advocate. For not just simply throwing plastic into one bin, rubbish the second, but for actually caring about the impact it has beyond our homes.
Not to sound like I’m carrying out an interrogation… but have you any strong views on sustainability and how we, as a community could promote sustainable packaging for products in particular? I’d love to hear your input and perhaps mention your outlook in my technology project on sustainable packaging. It would be nice to include some different ideas and outlooks on the matter!
We have to design and make a display that promotes sustainable packaging with one control system of our choice.
@@laurae7777 We were recycling and mulching everthing since about 1971. I simply don't use much, so there is not much to recycle. I buy 2 liter bottles, then pour it into a glass. (Then I use the same glass all day.) If a product is in a box, bottle or sack, I will not let the clerk put it in another bag, bottle, or box!!! I try not to use plastic bags or anything plastic in the way of packaging, I try to use paper cardboard, foil, or just hold the product in my hand. I do not throw away food with trash. I separate the two, so food can be put out for fertilizer, mulch, or taken by waste management!!! (I have septic, so, no sewage, and I put a lot of food scraps down the drain.) And the paper, boxes, etc. can stay until there is enough to haul off to the county landfill. I compact everything. In the last 15 months, I threw out 8/39 gallon trash bags worth of trash. That includes, trash, moving boxes and related trash, food garbage, bottles, and car trash!!! The idea is not so much too recycle, but, not to use so much packaging in the first place!!! We overpackage everything, and we need to stop it. As I like to say: "A man never polluted a river by drinking from it, It was when he started pissing in it, that things started too go wrong." Brother James Kendall Moore OSB OFS OSC.
@@laurae7777 Everything has a lifetime. We don't know the exact time it will take for plastic to be gone. However, if the "Anasazi Indians," were throwing away "broken pottery," and "corn cobs," 2000 years ago, and the remains are still here, then how long do you think it will be, before plastic trash is gone???
It's basically impossible to avoid plastic now. Even if you never eat or drink out of anything plastic it's still used around you. Store receipts, credit cards clothing etc. If you go to the hospital and end up needing an IV or shot the syringe is plastic and so is the IV bag and tubes going to it. We live in a world that has become so reliant on plastic I'm not sure what we're going to do to find a suitable replacement material. It's too durable, lightweight, and multi use I don't think anyone could find a better material. Too bad it's toxic
@@mjasz4341 it is. A bulk of plastic is from unnecessary packaging. We need to make a change to sustainable packaging, and only use plastic when necessary. Then there’s the problem of deforestation! Everything used globally regardless will have knock on affects

Alex Jones was given that information to make people dismiss it more easily. What better way to invalidate certain information than to associate it with a source that is considered dubious at best. Remember how MIB put alien life citings in tabloids? Made people laugh off real information. Same with the frogs comment. People are so easily manipulated.
I've come back to this video three times now, because my brain is having a hard time processing why this news isn't on every news channel across the world. Seems so odd that something so important and impactful is buried in a (relatively) little known YT channel. If true, this should inform national policy and family planning at every level.
Productivity vs income has also been on a steep decline. This trend heavily influences the birthrate. Households with over 250,000k income on average have less children. Economic uncertainty drives low birth rates among developed nations. Middle class families have taken the largest hit in the last 60 years.
I guess we could include that into the stress area.
Your productivity vs income analysis is reversed. Wages have stagnated since the 70s.
On one hand you say that the rich have less kids, but also that economic uncertainty drives low birth rate... Which is it?
@Levi Halperin Economic uncertainty is not the same thing as financial uncertainty. Economic uncertainty can exist while some individuals still have comfortable incomes.
@@danielclaudio5764 That doesn't seem like a useful difference. This whole analysis is cockeyed, because having kids (in America) makes you more likely to be poor. Rich people rarely have children until they are financially and emotionally prepared to do so. That's why they tend to have fewer kids.

After the population drops, and the regular drones like us die off, the elites and their close support will start growing healthy food.
And they'll do it again, if not stopped.
nothing bitter about it. humans are terrible myself included lol
Woah, imagine children of men.
Id argue that it's perfect timing in tune with the biblical scriptures, I.e. that mankind will be confronted over it's sins and that evil shall be cast into torment. That evil includes these industries and governments and we the people. This just adds a lot more precedent to get right with God especially but still everything is starting to add up. Our food reserves are going bye-bye, we're using up all the freshwater, natural causes are becoming even more dangerous thanks to our lifestyles (disasters like Cherynobl anf Fukushima.... Yeah were royally and totally screwed). How much more will it take for people to wake up.
We are small and fragile, just a blink in existence.
What a lovely lady and interview. Thank you, Shanna H. Swan for pushing humanity in a better direction.
I remember hearing about this outcome when I was 14! I’m 53 now! This was allotted to plastic in water and environment and it was frogs that were the catalyst for this hypothesis. The news show was called “What’s Up” a kids news show we watched every Friday in grade eight. So why any surprise now, and why has it taken so long!
Cleaning up plastics makes no money. I hope your question was rhetorical, in 53 years you should have learned that all progress is a lie sold by the growth driven corporations, institutions and governments.
So, AJ wasn't the first so say that 'they're turning the frogs gay!'?
It goes to show how corrupted the system is and how freely the big dirty businesses can go for profit and maybe even worse agendas like eugenics
remember those commercials in the 90's early 2000's that were just propaganda for Plastics? no brand or company or application, just "Plastics makes life better" such blatant propaganda :(
@@B.V.Luminous Yep. AJ's biggest problem is he is too loud and too early for more sensitive ears.
Feels like we’re Romane and we’ve just discovered lead was bad for you after so long of using it for every-day stuff.
As far as we know, they didn't even figure it out.
WIth the difference that plastic is everywhere, while lead isn't.
what's Romane?
As King Solomon said "There is nothing new under the sun"
😳 hopefully this can be reversed
"Back in 1960, an average couple had 5 children. That's the whole world. Now they have a little less than half that: 2.4 children."
I'm not promoting plastic use or trying to refute any data presented on endocrine disruption, but its an amazing stretch to suggest that plastics, drugs, food, and a lack of exercise have been primarily responsible for the drop in global average (terrible statistic) birth rates.
What else might it be then? I don't see how it can be anything *but* that. Putting poison into the environment is gonna have some kind of deleterious effect, and it makes sense that one way in which it would affect organisms is in their genitals
@@wizkidgamer9942
Increased education, access to, and use of contraception (fewer unplanned kids).
Changing economy (need to support yourselves before you can support kids)
Changing social pressures (there's a lot less pressure on women to be stay-at-home baby factories)
Consumer culture (more ways to stay entertained than existed in the 1960's; more ways to find fulfillment than existed in the 1960's)
Changing demographics (Increasing male/female ratio)
Increasing work hours (less time for kids across the board; more women working and longer hours)
Again, I'm not saying plastics are great or that chemicals don't affect the body. There have been many studies and connections made between (mostly) plastics and decreasing quality and numbers of sperm. But if a couple desires to have kids then decreased fertility is only going to increase the time it takes to conceive, its not going to make it a sudden coin flip on whether you are able to have kids or not.
Basically, people just don't want to have 5 kids anymore.
I have five children and it's 2021.
@@user-ol7bt4wp1j And you do know that I'm talking about more than just decreased sperm counts?
That decreased sperm count cannot account for the roughly 100% decrease in GLOBAL birth rates?
And that decreased sperm counts do not equate to total infertility in some portion of the population?
I do recognize that that plastics affect hormones. I do not agree that it is the driver of the global reduction in birth rate since the 60's.
Interesting research displayed in a very straightforward way. This is the kind of people that need to talk to the public more.
What about improved surveillance? Laboratory technologies have improved vastly in the last 50 years, has this been considered? Also, do we even measure sperm counts in the same way as did in the past? Honestly an increase in disease can be attributed to a better ability to detect it.
Always blame it on plastic, but never blame it on juvenile men who now mastrubate 5 times a day and calls it healthy. Then wonder why they have zero fertility and testosterone.
@@rainpain3655 she did mention that her research is only one part of the overall problem. Also, I agree with you that pornography presents a serious issue to the mental health of young people. I've spoken with psyc professionals that have young men complaining of ED, which is not supposed to be a young man's problem.
@@levioneill9677 it has nothing to do with pornography, I mean of course never watch pornography it's just masturbation. Men now think that masturbation is healthy when it destroys you completely. Your semen ain't a toy, its your life force and can create a child with it, it's not to be wasted for your own pleasure. Doctors will always blame it on plastic but will never blame it on mastrubation which they do themselves yet even calls it healthy themselves. Gotta love the bullshit of the pharmaceutical industry....
The environmental and social pressures that, for thousands of years, demanded the highest possible fertility rate... no longer exist in the modern world.... She is looking at the human response to an absence of something over the last 100-200 years... and assuming the cause must be the presence of something in the last 50-100 years... Nice lady... But flawed logic.... Evolving a new arm... is not the same as RETURNING to a prior biological state... That's why evolution is, in fact, the answer... it's just technically de-evolution and... as a result... happens at a different speed...

Humans have forgotten that they belong to nature, not the other way around.
Can this be taught in schools and universities please?! Incredible woman!
What, information that does not enslave and indoctrinate in countless damaging ways? No. That’s not allowed.
The FDA still thinks phlalates and other chemicals, not allowed in other countries, are safe. They allow all kinds of crap into our food, etc. Buy organic, community supported agriculture, farmers markets, or grow your own.
It is taught in University. Just take the right lecture course with the right professor. University isn’t a uniform curriculum.

I read Shanna Swan’s papers in college but only in an advanced environmental epidemiology class
Start a garden and can your own foods. My grandparents lived in town and had a small backyard. They filled that backyard with asparagus, raspberries, tomatoes, beans, lettuce, spinach etc and they also canned enough food that lasted them through winter. They also bought grass fed beef and had a pig that ate table scraps. They ate healthy and were fit with no ailments. They had glass insert thermos for their water and would fill it every day when working outside. I now have that same garden and can or freeze the excess vegetables. I make my own spaghetti sauce with shredded carrots to replace the sugar and it tastes awesome. We need to stop eating processed foods and drinking bottled water or having coffee from a Keurig.
The middle group, the adults can’t keep up with paying for the elderly and they’re a large group so there for we are choosing not to have children because of costs. Not saying this is related to lower sperm count but it certainly effects us as a society.
The middle group has been too stupid not to invest in their pension. Indeed, on an individual basis it's very reasonable to plan children, because having to neglect children isn't good for their future. However, when you look at the society in general, it's actually a good thing people keep getting children, even if they can't afford them individually. If the people that can afford many children don't (unlike Elon Musk) while the poor people can't due to financial shortage, then the middle class has fix it, which they can't insufficiently. Humankind should have a discussion first what's tolerable to fix the fertility crisis
If you think that’s the only reason why people aren’t having kids as much you’re missing other big parts to the problem

I was thinking the same thing. I listened to too many interviews where the idot interviewer interrupts nonstop...its crazy. I had to turn off the last interview before it finished because of it. Theyre more interested in being heard thn getting the answers to the questions theyre asking because theyre too egotistical to listen
He likely did have questions he only edited it out so it was only her speaking in one continuous speech.
I love how many global issues such as this one we've accumulated over the years and whenever I try to think of a way I could solve this problem individually, for my safe, is non-existent unless I decide to completely separate myself from society and go back to the basics and live in a cave 😀
I was thinking the same today. Funny how only white men seem to suffer the most.
Such large populations are unnatural, humanity has had no predators or other major threats for too long. We used to kill each other for land and resources, now we have no natural selection other than slow decay

@Random Stuff Don't worry. The vaccine has that covered and the man-made virus.
unreal job Afterskool. this was so so cool. loved this new format, would love to see more like this!!
This video is so important and eye opening. We constantly surround ourselves with nasty chemicals all because 1) businesses don't understand the chemistry of the products they are using most of the time, and when they do, they care more about profits than safety. 2) Governments also care more about money than about health as well. They don't want to be held accountable for allowing the use of these products/ using these products. Both business leaders and government leaders are afraid to look into things like this because it means more things to worry about, more accountability to be had.
All of these points are extremely valid and the literature tied to her points are all well-done, critical studies. Denying these pieces of information shows fear and ignorance. And at the very least, even if these issues aren't occurring, conversations should continue to be had, and investigations should continue to prove these chemicals don't affect us. It never hurts to better understand human biology, which we definitely don't fully understand yet. If you aren't worried about this, you aren't paying attention. Declining sperm count happened too dramatically, widespread, and too quickly to be due to genetic factors. It is most certainly environmental factors. And guess what, nature hasn't ever created a mass swath of chemicals that cause this -- only people.
So you are telling me... That the phrase "they are making the frogs gay"... Actually has some scientific basis?
Facts
Yes
ik this is a joke, but fun fact, it is unironically true.
Alex Jones may be an insane rambling madman, but that actually happened. Well, it wasn't them just being gay, it was frogs developing both male and female genitals and becoming less effective at reproduction as a result.
@@doublechindoge7 he’s been right more than once

I grew up on a farm. We had a huge garden (my grandparents did too) and drank well water. I remember having many summertime meals that we're completely from our farm. We had a pond too stocked with fish. My mom, aunts
& grandparents would can and freeze fruits, vegetables, salsa, pies etc. Now, I (we) have 4 kids: all tall, athletic, and good at school..all easy pregnancies. Maybe there's something to this. I would like to see more community gardens/orchards to share the workload and share the bounty. It's amazing the harvest that can come from a relatively small plot of land that has been well-tended to. With most moderate-sized personal gardens and fruit trees, it's nearly impossible to use it all up by yourself!
Tldr
Being athletic or doing well in school doesn't have anything to do with your DNA. And being tall isn't something you can change in your DNA with a healthy environment.
@@monsieurLDN a healthy environment can allow dna to reach its full potential, even if parents come from an unhealthy environment and have stunted growth (which only seems genetic because the people where they're from are also short due to the same environment)

I'm currently studying for my Masters in Chemistry at UM. I did a joint paper for a project on Phthalates (plasticizers) 2 years ago, and you would be surprised just how common, and harmful they are. None of the studies and research I based the paper on were my own. Now, we are looking at Atrazine, and actually doing tests and research on rats. Even at concentrations below federal standards, we see higher rates of developmental abnormalities in male and female reproductive tracts. Previous studies and research show many other harmful effects of atrazine, they are similar to the effects of Phthalates. Atrazine is a common herbicide, the US alone uses roughly 100 million pounds of it each year. It's water soluble (7mg/100ml) and easily finds its way into the water supply.
Good that EU banned them since 1991. Well US still being a fcking 3rd world I guess
And the anti vaccine crowd is busy blaming vaccines for their child’s mental health problems, not their plastic, drug filled toxic lifestyle. 🤣
Didn't Alex Jones say that Atrazine was being put in the water that turned the frogs gay? Even people like him are raising heck about this issue. What was the line, ah yes it was "They're putting chemicals in the water that turn the freaken frogs gay!".
@@RSAgility Actually Alex Jones did talk about this as one of his many conspiracy theories on how the government and companies put Atrazine in the water that have the effect of turning the frogs gay, so this is a hot button issue in that crowd too.

Thank you so much for shining a light on these issues in such an understandable way. Education is key. That is why we became the first mail-in test for phthalates, parabens, BPA, and other common endocrine disruptors. We also audit consumers' daily food, cleaning, washing, and lifestyle habits to let them know exactly which products are causing these exposures.

As we now, in the actual society, “gender” is more of an issue than in the past. There are more homosexuals, more transgenders etc. Not that it’s a bad thing, but it may be related to this fertility crisis, a lack of testosterone and the like. Hence it may be interesting to study testosterone, estrogen and endocriniens levels in those individuals.
I don't know shit about science so I can't say but I'm pretty sure homosexuals don't have low testosterone, in fact quite the opposite most of the time in my experience

This may be the reason for some trans issues but then again transgender people have existed for thousands of years; before Europeans came to America they were an integral part of many native American communities, in Incan society transgender people were shamans and spiritual leaders called Quariwarmi who even had their own god known as Chuqui Chinchay, these people were some of the first exterminated by European settlers because their existence posed the greatest threat to their religious indoctrination and cultural domination. There are also many other instances of trans people in non-European societies across the world.

Yeah thats what i was thinking man! i think this "Fertility Crisis" is a very good thing to humanity, this world where we are living right now is so F***ED UP and it's not even worth leaving the peaceful void for it.
You can live in a house without owning it, you know? You take things you can afford for granted and ignore them, and complain about things you can't afford.

Fertility crisis in not a crisis. It's a way to fix global warming and over population. You guys really want more people in this world? Go watch Bill burr on population.
Out of all the plastics, as far as I know, Polyethylene and Silicone (sans plasticizers) are the only 100% truly non-toxic plastics... and even then, that's with the right synthesis pathways - some processes will leave residues of toxic manufactory co-factors into the finished product, while other are completely pure.
PETE and Polycarbonate are made OUT OF Phthalate (former) and USING BPA (latter) as a primary part of their synthesis pathway. No good. Irredeemable. (Unless chemists can make a pathway for polycarbonate that somehow avoids using BPA, or guarantees its 100% exclusion from the finished product.)
And don't even get me started on Plastic Textile Fabrics. I went of a big kick a few years ago of filling my wardrobe with everything "Synthetic". Big mistake. I'm rapidly replacing everything with natural fibers. More comfy, no static electricity, easier on the skin. No microplastics.
Plastic isn't the problem - cheap humans who 1) buy low-quality products, and 2) participate in the Industrial Race-To-The-Bottom are the problem.

This is very interesting because i've always believed the chemicals they put in our food, the plastics we drink from and the lifestyle we live has been bad for us, but i didn't attribute it all to the declining reproduction rates.

Sorry to burst your bubble of hope but microplastics have been found all the way in the poles, in areas where there has never been a human presence. When plastics break down, they just don't disappear, they become microplastics and the wind and water can carry those anywhere on the planet. There's even a study which found insane levels of microplastics inside newborns since we ingest and absorb them and then mothers pass those down to fetuses...
Declining reproductive rates have more to do with increased access to contraceptives than an actual decrease in individual fertility. Not saying microplastics and the like cannot decrease this, but we still have countries with EXTREMELY high fertility and honestly greater risk of exposure to things like pesticides.
@@minutemansam1214 ya look at India and Nigeria there population is increasing everyday, we will be alright if we fix habits with are selfs
Doesn't matter if you "live off the land." The microplastics are in the air you breathe, the water you drink and the soil that you would grow food in. There is no escaping.
So everyone moves to the forest and you've got a city with the same problems.
I remember when I was about 5 or 6 years old. I had gotten into this can of bright red paint. My stepdad immediately put me in a bathtub full with either turpentine or paint thinner. This was around 1970. I have to tell you I think I’m the poster child for everything you have been talking About today. Thank you
