The Disappearing Male

Posted by on November 17th, 2008 in activism, doomed future, medical

Chemicals like BPA are being blamed for everything from low sperm counts to genital deformities. Worse, it claims that fewer boys are being born.

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 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.

CBC documentaries has the trailer in addition to the full video for streaming.
