Endangered Species: The Disappearing Male

17 June 2009 202 views 5 Comments

Is the male species at risk of extinction? According to the CBC documentary The Disappearing Male, this evolution has been underway for the last 60 years.

Common chemicals found in everyday products like shampoo, plastics, meat, dairy products, carpet, etc. “are called “hormone mimicking” or “endocrine disrupting” chemicals and they may be starting to damage the most basic building blocks of human development.”

According to the documentary, the last 30 years has seen a drop in male births by 3 million. The average sperm count of young men has dropped by 50% in only 50 years.

Health risks are not selective and males have been increasingly affected by unprecedented levels of dyslexia, Tourett’s syndrome, ADHD, genital defects and testicular cancer.

Rather than investigate the most serious chemicals like Bisphenol A, governments have lowered the “normal” sperm count rate to mirror that of their populations.

In animal tests, 0.025 µg/kg/day of Bisphenol A found permanent changes to the genital tract. 2.5 µg/kg/day predisposed breast cells to cancer. The US human exposure limit is 50 µg/kg/day.
