PHTHALATES!

and yes it is true. Phthalates are endocrine disruptors, and one earlier example of such compound is DDT. An illuminating article:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2706654/

Endocrine disruption can also happen in males. One of the most notable wildlife cases has been documented by researchers at the University of Florida who discovered numerous genital malformations, poor hatching success, and a sex ratio heavily skewed towards females among alligators living in a polluted central Florida lake. This lake had become heavily contaminated with DDT, difocol, their metabolites, and other pesticides as the result of an industrial spill (Guillette et al., 1994, 1995b; Milnes et al., 2005; Semenza et al., 1997). In mammals and birds, gonadal differentiation (the development of either an ovary or testis) is determined by the sex chromosomes. In non-mammalian vertebrates, including reptiles, incubation temperature during a critical window midway through development, influences which gonad forms and thus the sex of the animal. Guillette and colleagues discovered that exposure to estrogens or estrogenic EDCs can override or interact with this effect of temperature resulting in intersex individuals, males with abnormally low plasma testosterone levels, genital abnormalities, and malformation of the gonads (in both sexes).

Another to avoid is Triclosan, found in almost all "Antibiotic" Soap and Handwash in the USA (it's banned in Europe and most other countries).

Common in American toothpaste as well - a good way to getting paid for getting rid of chemical waste.

Yes and avoid phtalates.

"Herbal Essences" is a cesspit of Penis Busting Compounds, has almost every major offender in massive quantities.

THere was a coconut shampoo I was using, the whole family got to where they were showering in my shower, because my shampoo didn't make their hair burst out in a dandruff bloom, and leave them feeling slimmy and greasy.

Then last year, they started putting all of that shit in it, it's worse than Panteen, or Herbal Essence ever was. It feels like you're washing your hair in hair conditioner with axle grease.

I found a black charcoal shampoo that has coconut in it that works great. The thing is, I had to get that from "Afrosheen" section of hair products.
Now I know what that funky smell is, black people have after a fresh shower, it's not all roses and butter fly farts, but it makes my scalp feel ten times more healthy than the shit they are killing us with in the White Folk products.

Oh great.

Freaking great. At the end of the day, we’re all going to die one way or another so live life to the fullest folks. Can’t take anything with us when we’re gone. Thanks for sharing the article Patrick.

I’m careful not to drink shampoo.

Factoid: the stuff that makes bubbles is in shampoo, dish soap, toothpaste. Sodium laurel sulfate is not good to eat either.

I'm just trying to avoid Poo meat from Burger King, I'm worried it is spreading. Eventually 90% of the ground beef we'll be eating will be poo meat, and they wont even ask you, or tell you. Sort of like the way real light bulbs disappeared.

Get a filter for your water.

I started drinking filtered water with the Silver Impregnated Berkey-style ones. After a week, I feel like I recovered from a mild illness.

Parabens also bad shit.

There's so much estogenics, tylenol, etc. in the water - the water company doesn't get it all out, takes too slow of a mechanical filter.

PHTHALATES!

Yes, these are T busters for sure.

Oh great.

Several years ago we'd already found microplastics on top of the Himalayas. It's basically everywhere at this point.

How come they don't make shampoos with viagra?

People who talk in metaphors ought to shampoo my crotch

MisdemeanorRebel says

Just be a Man and use ordinary Brown Fuckin' Soap.

You never know what they did with those little brown pieces they leave in the gym showers.

Scary that there exists soap for "Brown Fucking."

Shampoos with viagra. They could name it "Suds Up 'N Puds Up". They could load it with toxins, and men would still buy it.

This is probably the best advice. BACAH believes I don't like him (her, no assumptions) when we banter about travel and flying. I do get the perspective that it's frivolous and wasteful. That said I'm/we are only here once. Enjoy the fuck out of it if you can. Do what makes you happy.
