EHS Insider - Safety and Other Hazardous Thoughts

Phthalate Questions

July 13, 2017 by David Vaughan

Common Household Chemicals Linked To Chronic Disease In Men, Study Finds

So this study seems to identify a correlation between chronic disease and high phthalate levels in urine. But correlation is not causation, and nothing in the summary article gives any indication of a causation mechanism. (Forget the bit about the state of CA thinking phthalates cause cancer; CA thinks everything causes cancer). So the study only raises a question- it does not answer anything. I hope that there is more research done here.
