Researchers have revealed that a man's penis could be
significantly shorter and thinner because of non-stick frying
pans.Scientists recently made a link between the size of a man's penis
and cooking utensils used by their parents to prepare food which they
ate. They found that high levels of a chemical called
PFCs(perfluoroalkyl compounds) that are used in non-stick frying pans
can interfere with male hormones and make men's penises to be
"significantly" smaller. PFCs, which appear to reduce levels of
testosterone, are also found in greaseproof packaging and waterproof
clothes. The issue is also said to affect teenagers who are still
developing.The research, carried out at the University of Padua in Italy
and published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism,
found men from areas with high levels of PFC pollution had penises that
were 12.5 per cent shorter and 6.3 per cent thinner. They measured 383
penises of men around the age of 16 to 22 who grew up in an affected
area of Italy near the University and 171 from elsewhere.A river was
polluted as a result of run-off from a chemical factory and water
treatment plant. Men in this area had significantly smaller penises than
men in areas with low levels of PFCPadua is one of four areas with high
levels of PFC pollution as well as West Virginia in the US, Dordrecht
in the Netherlands, and Shandong in China.It is believed that PFCs bind
to testosterone receptors, reducing the male sex hormone in the body.
But it’s not just the size of the penis that is affected. PFC also makes
sperm less healthy and mobile as well as creating a smaller distance
between the scrotum and anus.Lead researcher Dr Andrea Di Nisio said:As
the first report on water contamination of PFCs goes back to 1977, the
magnitude of the problem is alarming.It affects an entire generation of
young individuals, from 1978 onwards. Previous studies linked PFCs to
other health problems including early menopause and bladder cancer. They
are absorbed in the intestines from eating, drinking and breathing them
in and can be toxic to foetuses.Dr Di Nisio said the problem will
continue until PFCs are banned.Below are other products where PFC can be
