It is so surreal to see the @Million_Marker Exposure Test on @joerogan! @DrShannaSwan joined the show to talk The Plastic Detox, the impact plastic chemicals have on sperm, where these chemicals are hidden, and so much more.
Check it out:

@Chem2006@Rainmaker1973 Well you shouldn't be because toxicologists are proving that these fragrances the phalates(vocs) are causing endocrine disruption and cancer and that the removal of them from daily life has drastically decreased the growth rate of breast cancer and improved the health of many
@xgoogoogoox Yeah, I'm fairly familiar with the risks of phalates re plastics but wasn't aware re fragrance, wow. Makes sense but augh. Another reason to be glad I make much of my own stuff. For the record, I also am weird with "sensitive." Often moreso than others, in fact. So much is crap.
@CarniClemenza @MrSollozzo More attention needs to be given to switching to UNSCENTED/FRAGRANCE-FREE personal care products and laundry detergent. Fragrance is made from petro-chemicals and, among other toxic ingredients, contains endocrine-disrupting phalates which causes LOW-T!! https://t.co/bGsLRhNVHb
@mkjets03@iluminatibot And scented personal-care products, which are made from petro-chemicals and contain neurotoxins as well as phalates (endocrine disruptors)! Going unscented/fragrance-free is a good start!!! Especially laundry detergents and ditch fabric softener and dryer sheets entirely!
@GlyphosateGirl@elonmusk@RobertKennedyJr@POTUS Add to that endocrine disrupters like toxic fragrance and phalates on household products and it makes for even weaker sperm. Awful what’s been done to us.
If you:
Eat soy-based products and call it "protein",
Cook with seed oils that oxidize under heat,
Drink alcohol and expect optimal testosterone,
Spray synthetic fragrances loaded with phalates,
Microwave plastic and ingest BPA,
Or trust tap water for some reason...
Then don't wonder why fertility is declining.
Hormones respond to inputs.
Clean the inputs.
A 20-year study found women who regularly cleaned their homes lost lung function equivalent to smoking 20 cigarettes a day.
Yes — 20 cigarettes a day worth of damage, and only in women. Men showed no comparable decline. Why the huge gender gap?
Women use far more cleaning sprays, disinfectants, air fresheners, scented detergents, candles, and fragrance-loaded products — all containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and irritants that aerosolize and get inhaled deeply into the lungs.
Science nugget: The study (published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2018, based on the long-running European Community Respiratory Health Survey) tracked lung function (FEV1 and FVC) over 20 years in thousands of participants. Women who cleaned regularly (weekly or more) had accelerated lung function decline comparable to ~20 pack-years of smoking. No similar effect was seen in men, likely due to lower exposure to household cleaning chemicals.
The fix is simple and cheap: Switch to non-toxic alternatives — vinegar + water, baking soda, castile soap, hydrogen peroxide.
Ditch the scented sprays, "fresh linen" plug-ins, and harsh chemical cleaners.
Your lungs don’t regenerate like your liver. Damage accumulates for life.
You wouldn’t smoke a pack a day.
Why clean like you do?
Who’s switching their cleaning routine after this?
@newstart_2024 These chemicals damage more than your lungs. They can cause asthma, allergies, infertility, birth defects and even cancer, and as some of them are neurotoxins, they can also cause neurological conditions. See https://t.co/Er5jqcwuFI
Dr. Josh Axe warns: Everyday fragrances (perfume, air fresheners, scented lotions) are silently harming us.
Chemicals like parabens and phthalates are endocrine disruptors — they mimic or block hormones, raising risks of:
- Breast cancer
- Infertility
- Low testosterone (men)
- Estrogen/progesterone imbalance (women)
- Allergic reactions & autoimmune issues
- Gut microbiome disruption
- Immune/lung problems
An experiment: Spray perfume on a natural leaf → it dies quickly.
Same chemicals enter your body through skin & lungs every day.
Solution?
Ditch synthetic fragrances. Switch to essential oils & truly natural ingredients.
Get the chemicals out of your home — your hormones, gut, and immune system will thank you.
57-second clip embedded — the leaf dying in real time is shocking proof.
Are you still spraying perfumes or using scented products? Time to rethink?
