Avoid These Shampoo Ingredients
Pull out your shampoo bottle and look for these common testosterone-destroying ingredients:
Parabens - Parabens are in 90% of all personal care products and are used as a preservative to increase the shelf life of shampoos and conditioners. Studies have shown a direct link between paraben exposure and low-testosterone (and even Breast cancer). Get rid of any shampoo with an ingredient that ends in "-paraben" (such as methylparaben, butylparaben, and so on).
Sulfates - You'll find that most shampoos contain an ingredient such as "Sodium Lauryl Sulfate" and "Sodium Laureth Sulfate". These are responsible for that thick lather of foam you're programmed to believe is responsible for cleaning your hair. They're also the same ingredient used in car engine degreasers and car-wash soap foams. But on your head, these sulfates quickly enter your bloodstream and have been linked to everything from excessive estrogen load to malformation of the eyes in children. Chuck them in the trash.
Propylene Glycol and Polyethylene Glycol - These common "organic" alcohols are used in everything from antifreeze to oven cleaners… and as a fragrance stabilizer for shampoos and lotions. Unfortunately, they tend to break down the structure of your cells to allow rapid absorption of the other xenoestrogens in your shampoo for a shotgun blast of female hormones straight into your bloodstream.
