"The Disappearing Male"


"The Disappearing Male," a Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC) documentary, aired this week. "The Disappearing Male" focuses on the toxic threat in our environment to the male reproductive system.

According to the film's makers, the last few decades have seen dramatic increases in the incidence of boys and young men suffering from genital deformities, low sperm counts, sperm abnormalities and testicular cancer. Also on the rise in boys are ADHD, autism, Tourette's syndrome and dyslexia. Sperm counts have been cut in half in the last fifty years and in the last few decades there has been a 200% increase in male genital birth defects. Male birth rates are also on the decline.

The cause? Many doctors and researchers suspect all of those "hormone mimicking" or "endocrine disrupting" chemicals, including bisphenol-A and phthalates, which can be found in everything around us from shampoo to carpets, cosmetics and baby bottles.

You can view the trailer and the entire documentary here at the CBC website. Even if you don't have time to watch the entire documentary, take a peek at the trailer. Chilling.
