Estrogeneration by Anthony G. Jay
“Even while human testosterone has been diminishing for thousands of years, testosterone has seen an especially dramatic dropout in recent history. A truly massive drop. All about the time estrogenics have been rising, ‘coincidentally’.”
In his book Estrogeneration, Anthony Jay teaches about the dangers of human testosterone diminishing by a substantial amount, and its effects on our daily lives.
Weight gain, depression, infertility, and other exploding health problems are linked to chemicals called “estrogenics”, and if you wish to live a long, healthy and happy life, I highly recommend you read this book. It is a true eye-opener.
You should by all means read this book for yourself. Below, I have written out my book notes, but I couldn’t cover hundreds of pages in just a couple of bullet points. That is why I highly encourage you to create your notes whilst going through the book, and for the time being use mine as a guide on what this book is about.

Book Notes
Estrogenics change most of your cells because most of your cells have estrogen receptors. This is why artificial estrogenics can cause such diverse problems and such major problems.
List of 10 most common estrogenics
The Ideal Foods Principle: Try to find, use, and eat whole, unprocessed foods, from genuinely organic and naturally grown sources, preferably not stored in plastics, and raised in a healthy environment.
The Estrogenic Epigenetic Principle: Estrogenic changes can be passed along to future generations via epigenetics and such inheritance can inflate these health problems.
Keep in mind that silicon is generally good, but try to stick to wood and steel. Certain things cannot be made out of wood or steel, and those are the times when you should use silicon products.
