DESCRIPTION: Canned foods and sliced turkey were found to be contaminated with the plastics chemical BPA, which has been linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and erectile dysfunction. I've previously covered BPA in Which Plastics Are Harmful (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/which-plastics-are-harmful/), where I go through which "numbers" of plastic are probably safest. My other video on plastics chemicals, Chicken Consumption and the Feminization of Male Genitalia (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/chicken-consumption-and-the-feminization-of-male-genitalia/), similarly found particularly high levels in poultry. Eden Foods is one of the few manufacturers that don't use BPA. See my blog about their canned beans: Do Eden Beans Have Too Much Iodine? (http://nutritionfacts.org/2012/07/05/do-eden-beans-have-too-much-iodine/). For more on male sexual health see Xenestrogens & Sperm Counts (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/xenoestrogens-sperm-counts/), Watermelon as Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/watermelon-as-treatment-for-erectile-dysfunction/), and my two prostate enlargement videos, Prostate Versus Plants (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/prostate-versus-plants/) and Prostate Versus a Plant-Based Diet  (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/prostate-versus-a-plant-based-diet/). I have 35 videos on men's health (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/mens-health/) and hundreds of others encompassing more than 1000 topics for you to browse as well (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/).

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/bpa-plastic-and-male-sexual-dysfunction/ and he'll try to answer it!
