A Little Shrinking Science
from Waywut
From plastic to soy, we dig into the science of chemical shrinkage—no, seriously. Can your diet actually shrink your junk? You’ve heard the rumors about Mountain Dew and orange soda, but there might be more truth to those jokes than we ever realized. In this very Waywut episode, Darrell takes us on a hilarious, mildly horrifying tour through the world of endocrine disruptors—the chemicals in plastics, food packaging, and even your broccoli that could be quietly affecting testosterone, estrogen, and yeah… size. We get into: What phthalates and BPA really do to the human body The weird science of hormone mimicry Why “BPA-free” doesn’t mean “safe” Whether soy turns you into a “soy boy” How diet soda and unsweet tea figure into all this And why you might want to stop nuking your Tupperware leftovers This one’s full of laughs, facts, unfiltered opinions, and more euphemisms for “junk” than we’re proud of. It’s science—but with banana hammocks, cat vomit, and one genuinely concerning study from Italy.
