(Brings forth their best George Carlin impersonation) Plastic!
...I mean, my understanding was that the elephant in the room is BPA and microplastics, but maybe all the other factors are not given enough attention.

One thing I'd like to know is if the effect on east Asian societies is worse given how much more plastic they use than say European ones.
Somewhat unrelated but interesting is the focus on BPA. It is actually not proven that the other plastics are good, it just means we have data on BPA.
Anecdotally, if someone like John Carmack can drink 9 Diet Cokes per day without noticeable ill-effects over several decades, it's going to take strong evidence that he (and others like him) are major outliers in their resistance to BPA "damage" to convince people that a small amount of BPA in their foods and drinks is harmful enough to change their lifestyle and habits to avoid it.
Where is the logical fallacy?
There are mouse studies described towards the end, but they concentrate more on sperm production than hormones. (Also they were fed tiny bits of polystyrene, BPA only gets a smaller mention in the introduction.)
