Phthalates (Man-Made Chemicals) are Harming Fertility and
Pregnancies
Back in 2017, the U.S. government banned certain phthalates from toys because of their link to changes in male genital tract development.
Phthalates are man-made chemicals that are endocrine disruptors and toxic to the human reproductive system. Growing evidence shows they can mimic, block and suppress males and female hormones, which can increase miscarriage risk and reduce sperm count, fertility and
birth weight.
Children under the age of three are also at risk because of their developing, smaller bodies.
The problem is, these phthalates are still
everywhere. They are used pervasively to soften and add flexibility to mountains of everyday personal care products and cosmetics. They also bind fragrances to laundry detergents and are found in air fresheners, deodorisers and chemical cleaning products such as glass and floor cleaners.
