I recently had an unexplained high psa of 6.8. my doctor told me to wait and
then redo the test since I had a negative biopsy 7 months ago. He said it
might be do to inflamation. Afterwards while reconstructing events I
realized that I had an exterminator in the house just a few days before I
did the PSA test. I have read that pesticides are estrogen emulators. Coulsd
this affect the test results?

I read a disturbing article about hard plastics and plastic drinking
bottles.
In it it explanes how phthalates are leeching out of the plastic and are
powefull estrogen mimics and act like ferilizer for cancer cells, it also
suggested that anyone fifgting hormonally mediated cancers like testicular
and prostate and several others should eliminate any futher exposure to
plasticizers, to have cancer and drink from plastic water bottles is just
like adding fuel to the fire. The article also mentioned the fact that
synthetic pesticides do the same by mimicking estrogens and the fact that
these pesticides are so much more powerfull than they were 30 years ago.

I just wonder if an increase in estrogen could cause the PSA to increase.

Thanks for the post.I've read bad news about plastic wrap. Where did you get
your info? This kind of news is troubling. We could be doing all kind of
damage without knowing.
