The Dangers of Phthalates
Pronounced "tha'-lates,"
these little plasticizer chemicals pack a punch to male sex organs.
Whether it's sperm damage, feminization of baby boys, or infertility, a
growing number of studies link phthalates to problems in men and boys.
Pregnant women should avoid it in nail polish ("dibutyl phathalate") and
everyone should avoid products with "fragrance" on the label, chemical
mixtures where phthalates often hide
Phthalates Linked to Feminization of Boys (Web site)
Concerns about the health impacts of phthalates continue to mount, with
new research linking high phthalate levels with feminized genitals in
baby boys. A recent government-funded study by Dr. Shanna Swan, a
professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Rochester,
correlated prenatal phthalate exposure with a shortened anogenital
distance (AGD) in male babies. The higher the levels of phthalates in
the mother during pregnancy, the more likely the researchers were to
find the shortened AGD. When this occurred, the boys were more likely to
have incomplete testicular descent and smaller penises. The changes
occurred at phthalate levels that have been measured in about one
quarter of women in the United States.

Not Too Pretty

Independent laboratory tests found phthalates in more than 70% of health
and beauty products tested – including popular brands of shampoo,
deodorant, hair mouse, face lotion and every single fragrance tested.
Aggregate Exposures to Phthalates in Humans
(PDF)
This Health Care Without Harm report documents the science on phthalates
and shows that people are exposed to phthalates from multiple sources
and that those exposures may be adding up to harm. The report shows how
no government agency is looking at the big picture of multiple exposures
to phthalates.
Pretty Nasty

Documents product tests in Europe that also found phthalates in
the majority of products tested.
The ideal way to expose
yourself to most toxins
and carcinogens over your lifetime is to use
mainstream personal care products.
