A reduction in the size of male genitals, a lower sex drive and parts of the testes turning into ovary tissue are among the symptoms that are leading to falling sperm counts and infertility among men. 9

  11. Read Labels And AVOID • Benzoyl Peroxidehormone disruptor and suspected carcinogen found in acne products • DEA (Diethanolamine), MEA (Monoethanolamine)& TEA (Triethanolamine) carcinogen, memory loss • DMDM Hydantoin & Imidazolidnyl Urea / Duazikdinyl urea, 2-bromo-2nitropropane-1, 3-diol -- formaldehyde doning preservatives • FD&C Color and Pigments (coal-tar) toxic… • Fragrances, Synthetic asthma, depression, weaken imune system • PEG (Polyethylene Glycol) birth defects, etc • Parabens suspected hormone disruptors • Phthalatesoften in sunscreens, shampoos & other ingredients on this list, i.e. PEG, Triclosan • Propylene and Butylene Glycol (solvents) • Quaternium 15 (formaldehyde donor) allergen, • Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)(detergent solvents) • Sunscreen chemicals: avobenzone, benzphenone, methoxycinnamate, etc. .createsfree radical, pesticides, carcinogenic) • Triclosan – antibacterial agent (hormone ...disruptor, water contaminate) www.thetff.org
