According totheir TV , phthalate   –   a home of chemical used in plastics , paints and packaging   –   leads to male children being born with a   smaller penis .

The study PETA is refer to is a 2008 report by theNational Institute of Health . The written report holograph itself does n’t make any explicit inter-group communication between   chicken and a child ’s   penis sizing , or in fact any reference to chicken at all .

talk about how masses might get along into contact with said chemicals , the report says “ Phthalates have been mensurate in residential indoor environments in both house detritus and indoor melodic phrase . They have also been appraise in food , milk and imbibing water .   However , the comparative contribution from the various sources and road of picture to phthalates is unknown . ”

Out of the 106 boy look at in the study ,   all of the   29 deemed to be on the " short " end of the spectrum had   mothers who were above a   " low degree " of phthalate exposure . In the " longsighted " 28   penises , only one of their mother had a " high degree " of phthalate exposure . They summarized : " These findings guarantee current concern that low dosage phthalate exposures affect several markers of human manly venereal developing . "

While the finding certainly found some link between a female parent ’s   phthalate vulnerability   and her male child ’s penis size of it , the direct coefficient of correlation between how much chicken a mother feed   and a child ’s penis sizing is a faint one .

still , it does seem like the telecasting was intended as a light - hearted gag .

Ben Williamson , elderly international media director at PETA , toldVICE:“PETA ’s humourous new TV is simply taste to warn potential new parents about the connection between eating crybaby and stunt penis increment .   Chicken flesh has been show to do higher levels of the phthalate Mono(2 - ethylhexyl ) , or MEHP as it ’s better lie with . That ’s a fancy name for a chemical that can shrink the penises of unborn children . ”

He concluded , “ Our new ad is simply assay to help citizenry who are concerned about the growing of their unborn fry . It ’s a humorous video with a serious message . ”

Even so , if you are thinking of pose off the deep fried chicken , or even meat in worldwide , then there are   plenty of reasons to do so   ( insecurity of your unborn son ’s penis size of it   aside ) .
