Phthalates have been linked to genital deformities in males, reduced genital size, and other problems related to endocrine disruption. Read any Toxicology journal to learn this. Phthalates have a chemical structure that partially mimics steroid hormones, and can bind to hormone receptor sites. Don't take this shill's word for anything related to your's or your children's health, since phthalates are in highest concentration in women and kids 2-6 years of age.

A lot of chemical substance are used in different objects and products that we use, and that does not mean that we will get poisoned with them. Phthalates are commonly used in plastic products, but as mentioned in the video, a lot of researches gives us the warranty that they are safe to use. More interesting videos on medical topics are available at Symposier site, visit it.
