Contained in the product female hormones trigger obesity in men Bashny.Net

Scientists say that the obesity epidemic in men provoked, perhaps the female sexual hormone estrogen. Experts believe that this hormone is the likely cause of the phenomenon is repeatedly recorded reduction in sperm count (oligozoospermia) in men in Western countries. They said men in affluent countries gradually "feminizers", because they are in contact with products containing the female sex hormone.

Chemical compounds found in some plastic products, including sewer and water pipes made of polyvinyl chloride, as well as foods with soy can produce an effect similar to the effects of estrogen.

The study authors found that in Western countries, the obesity rate in men is much closer to the levels seen in women than in developing countries, where women's obesity is much more common than in men.

James Grants from the Adelaide University has compared the percentage of male and female level of obesity in different countries, indicators of economic development such as gross domestic product (GDP) to identify the influence of quality of life in obesity. He found that in contrast to developing countries where obesity is much more common for women, the ratio of the levels of obesity between the sexes in developed countries is quite different.

"Hormone-driven growth of body weight manifests itself in women much more. However, in such Western countries as the USA, most of Europe and Australia, the obesity rate in men approaching women, and in some Western countries even exceeds it," says the study's author.

Of course, unbalanced diet is an important factor, but scientists hypothesize that it is not just in increased caloric intake.

One of the study co-author Professor Maciej Henneberg adds that it has already been established that the effect of estrogen on the growth of body weight because estrogen inhibits the thyroid gland. This gland is responsible for producing hormones that regulate metabolism, and if its activity is blocked, the metabolism in the body slows down, which leads to increased body weight.

Professor Henneberg added that soy products contain so-called "xenoestrogens" — substances that mimic the effect of estrogen. He says: "We are concerned that in countries where actively used soy dietary products, such as the United States, growth is possible "feminization" of men."

In addition, among men in these countries, a possible increase in cases of the artificial creation of evidence of obesity on female type. Microevolutionary changes in the West that concern scientists, can lead to an imbalance between testosterone and estrogen in the male organism.

In addition, this largely can be explained by the many alarming data on the decline in sperm count among men in developed countries.

But, of course, for a better understanding of the reasons for the "feminization" of men and the final conclusions it is necessary to conduct further research. published
