The disappearing male

CBC documentary, The Disappearing Male

“It sounds like a B movie, millions of males vanish, the fact is, there aren’t as many now adays.  Not human males, not frogs, not fish. Chemicals are moving us to the most rapid evolution this species has ever experienced.   From toys to shampoo, we’re awash in strange new compounds.  We’re only just learning that males are being hit hardest.

There are many warning signs, a growing body of evidence shows that something is wrong with the sexual health of human males. Sperm counts world wide have been cut in half over the past 50 years.  Sperm abnormalities and male rates of infertility have radically increased.  Rates of testicular cancer have doubled in the last 20 years.  The question is: why?

Scientists now believe that certain man made chemicals are now to blame.  They interfere with the male hormonal system and are playing havoc with the basic building blocks of male sexual development.  The problem is, these chemicals are everywhere.”

This Doc Zone asks: Where have all the boys gone.  Watch the 45 minute documentary that discusses the growing scientific evidence that something is wrong with the sexual health of human males.
