The Disappearing Male
"We are conducting a vast toxicological experiment in which our
children and our children's children are the experimental subjects." Dr.
Herbert Needleman.
The Disappearing Male is 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.
