As the Environmental Working Group (EWG) reports, phthalates, or “plasticizers,” are included in many household items - from toys, to food packaging, to shampoo, to detergents - and have been found to disrupt the endocrine system, including reduced sperm count, testicular atrophy, and structural abnormalities, among others. [1] Why risk the use of commercial products with potentially harmful health effects when there are easy alternatives?
