The thread title is the name of a documentary put out by the CBC (a Canadian TV network) about the health dangers of various pollutants, household chemicals & plastics, specifically on males, especially young males.  I saw this documentary a few months ago but it then became unavailable online but I just found it again on google video.  It is important viewing, especially for anyone with children.

here is an article about it

here is the documentary (44 minutes long)

So anyone watch this?  I thought it contained a lot of good information.  For example, if you're going to drink from plastic, don't leave your plastic water bottle out in the sun.

Interesting documentary. I was un-aware of males being specifically at risk but knew of the toxicity issues.
