Toxic ingredients in sunscreens may increase male infertility. I have written a lot on the ingredients in sunscreens here is just another one to think about. I only use safer sunscreens when I do use them. A new study by the National Institutes of Health found that sunscreen chemicals that filter out ultraviolet rays may impair male fertility. There are twenty-nine “benzophenone-type UV filtering chemicals” in personal care products that protect skin and hair from sun damage. Researchers found that men with high exposure to two chemicals in particular had a 30% reduction in their ability to reproduce. Earlier research findings linked reduced fertility to high concentrations of phthalates and Bisphenol A (BPA) in men, chemicals that we also pick up from sources such as can linings, dental treatments, and cash register receipts. anh-usa.org/is-your-sunscreen-making-you-infertile/
