No luck with the ladies? Mom's BPA exposure may be to blame
Dating is already hard enough for most men: am I dressed nice enough? Will she like the restaurant I picked? Turns out some factors may be out of their control in the search for mate. New research suggests mom’s exposure to the hormone-disruptor bisphenol A might be yet another reason a woman decides to “just be friends.”
Dating is already hard enough for most men: am I dressed nice enough? Will she like the restaurant I picked? Turns out some factors may be out of their control in the search for mate. New research suggests mom’s exposure to the hormone-disruptor bisphenol A might be yet another reason a woman decides to “just be friends.”
A recent study found that male deer mice whose mothers were exposed to BPA while the mice were in utero were more anxious, had lower spatial abilities, and were less attractive to female deer mice looking for a mate. In fact, female deer mice preferred the unexposed male deer mice 2-1.
While the researchers can’t say for sure what it means for humans, the study is another reason to doubt the safety of BPA and avoid it as much as possible. We offer these tips to reduce your BPA exposure. Unfortunately, they aren't going to help with dating.
So guys you might have to work overtime to impress a potential mate to compensate for any BPA exposure you may have experience in the womb. We suggest organic flowers and chocolates as a good place to start.
