Toxic Body Care Proucts and Male Health
exerpt from www.safecosmetics.org
Many products that men use everyday, including deodorant, shampoo,
sun tan cremes, and aftershave lotion, contain toxic
chemicals linked to health problems in males. Lead acetate, a known
carcinogen and reproductive toxin, can be purchased at the local
drugstore in Grecian Formula 16. Phthalates, a set of industrial
chemicals used in many products, are particularly toxic for males.
Phthalate exposures damage the testes, prostate gland, epididymis,
penis and seminal vesicles in laboratory animals. Most of these
effects persist throughout the animal's life, and include, among
other health effects:
- Testicular atrophy - a defect that leads to reduced capacity
to form sperm and male sex hormones
- Hypospadias - a defect of the penis in which the opening occurs
on the bottom of the penis instead of the tip
- Undescended testicles - a condition in which the testes fail
to descent into the scrotal sac during pregnancy
- Reduced sperm count - leads to reduced fertility
Trends in human male reproductive health include many of the same
effects seen in lab animals dosed with phthalates. Although a cause
and effect relationship has not been established, the ubiquity of
phthalates in the human population validates the concern that phthalates
may be contributing to health problems.
