Masculinity is rapidly disappearing from the world, according to a new study published in the journal Human Reproduction Update. An international team of researchers reviewed 2,936 scholarly abstracts and 868 full articles about the subject, as well as analyzed data from 38 sperm count studies conducted on six continents. They published their findings in this latest report, which is an … Continue reading Sperm counts continue to PLUMMET worldwide as assault on men rages
Study finds that FRAGRANCES used in personal care products are loaded with cancer-causing, diabetes-promoting chemical that targets WHITE women with degenerative disease
A common endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) used in personal care products like soap and shampoo substantially increases a woman’s risk of developing a metabolic disease like diabetes – especially if she is white – a new study has found. Published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, the paper explains how phthalates, a class of chemical used to improve the durability … Continue reading Study finds that FRAGRANCES used in personal care products are loaded with cancer-causing, diabetes-promoting chemical that targets WHITE women with degenerative disease
Common plastic additive linked to fertility problems
A study published in the journal PLOS Genetics found that exposure to the plastic additive diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) could cause fertility problems. Led by Harvard Medical School researchers, the study showed that DEHP increases breaks in the DNA during egg production and impairs cells’ ability to repair these breaks. How common plastic additive affects fertility DEHP belongs to a family of chemicals called phthalates. It is … Continue reading Common plastic additive linked to fertility problems
Scientist says sperm counts are dropping so low that human reproduction may soon be a thing of the past
Men today only have about half the amount of sperm that their grandfathers did, and the situation is getting progressively worse with each passing day. Shanna Swan, PhD, published a paper back in 2017 about this infertility phenomenon. More recently, she published a book about how endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and other factors are destroying men’s bodies at … Continue reading Scientist says sperm counts are dropping so low that human reproduction may soon be a thing of the past
Hormone-disrupting chemicals in our homes could be detrimental to immune health, raising the risk of COVID-19
Since authorities declared the pandemic in March and set quarantine protocols, the skies have cleared up due to reductions in man-made causes of air pollution. This is a good thing, as long-term exposure to air pollution has been found to raise the risk of COVID-19. But scientists are starting to shed light on another group of threats … Continue reading Hormone-disrupting chemicals in our homes could be detrimental to immune health, raising the risk of COVID-19
Father’s Exposure to Phthalates Impact Epigenetic Marks on Sperm DNA
New epigenetic research conducted by scientists at the University of Massachusetts suggests that a father’s environment can affect the health of his baby via epigenetic marks in his sperm. Specifically, male exposure to phthalates, which are endocrine disruptors found in plastics, personal care products like shaving cream, and in the environment that surrounds us, were … Continue reading Father’s Exposure to Phthalates Impact Epigenetic Marks on Sperm DNA
Air pollution now comes from consumer and industrial products as much as vehicles
Car emissions take a lot of the blame for air pollution, but it looks like they could soon be eclipsed by consumer and industrial products. A new study published in Science has found that as cars get increasingly cleaner and tailpipe emissions continue to drop, the emissions that come from many of our everyday products are now … Continue reading Air pollution now comes from consumer and industrial products as much as vehicles

Study: BPA destroys sperm
Results from a five-year trial on the effects of bisphenol-A (BPA) in human males has revealed that the popular plastics chemical destroys sperm. One of the few BPA studies involving humans, the trial sheds more light on the obvious harm BPA causes on male reproduction, and the need to immediately remove the chemical from from … Continue reading Study: BPA destroys sperm
Phthalates in plastic products decrease testosterone levels in men, women and children
Testosterone is the driving force in men, determining physical structure, brain function, and reproductive health. This hormone is declining in virtually all populations today, giving rise to health conditions including infertility, reduced semen quality and genital malformations in newborns. A certain, balanced amount is even needed for proper development of female anatomy. For those who … Continue reading Phthalates in plastic products decrease testosterone levels in men, women and children
