The Disappearing Male documentary

[Guest guest]

Don't know if this was posted yet but it should be:

The Disappearing Male is a CBC documentary about one of the most

important, and least publicized, issues facing the human species: the

toxic threat to the male reproductive system. The last few decades

have seen steady and dramatic increases in the incidence of boys and

young men suffering from genital deformities, low sperm count, sperm

abnormalities and testicular cancer. At the same time, boys are now

far more at risk of suffering from ADHD, autism, Tourette's syndrome,

cerebral palsy, and dyslexia. The Disappearing Male takes a close and

disturbing look at what many doctors and researchers now suspect are

responsible for many of these problems: a class of common chemicals

that are ubiquitous in our world. Found in everything from shampoo,

sunglasses, meat and dairy products, carpet, cosmetics and baby

bottles, they are called " hormone mimicking " or " endocrine disrupting "

chemicals and they may be starting to damage the most basic building

blocks of human development.«
