Spraying perfume can make you feel better in the short term.
 
But doctors warn that hidden ingredients in perfume can cause a variety of health problems, including insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, and hormonal problems that can affect fertility.

According to the New York Post, Dr. Andrea Gore, a professor of pharmacology and toxicology at the University of Texas at Austin, said, “Perfume, It's best to avoid scented lotions and shampoos, even scented detergents and antiperspirants that contain added fragrance. " said. This is because diethyl phthalate (DEP), which is used to mix various scents in perfumes. Phthalates are also found in nail polish, hair spray, shampoo, body wash, deodorant, and hand wash in addition to perfume.

 

Several studies have linked phthalates to a variety of health problems, including heart disease, obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes. A study published in 2020 linked phthalates in the body to ADHD-related behavioral problems in adolescents, and the Cleveland Clinic reported that they may also trigger allergies and asthma.

Phthalates are also known as hormone disruptors. Studies have shown that phthalates can affect fertility in both men and women, interfere with the development of reproductive organs, and cause problems with pregnancy and childbirth. "Phthalates are endocrine disruptors that can interfere with hormonal and cellular functions in the reproductive system," Dr. Laura Shaheen, a reproductive endocrinologist, told the New York Post. "Studies have shown that higher levels of phthalates are associated with infertility, decreased sperm parameters, poor egg quality, and an increased risk of miscarriage."

 

A 2018 study from the University of California, Berkeley, found that phthalate exposure may cause girls to reach puberty earlier. A 2002 Harvard University study also found that men exposed to phthalates experienced increased sperm DNA damage.

 

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), perfumes do not contain harmful ingredients. However, some experts disagree.

 

The problem is that filtering out products made with phthalates can be difficult, as they aren't required to be listed on any ingredient labels. "Reducing the number of fragrances you purchase and use can help," Dr. Shaheen advises. "Use unscented cleaning products and reduce the use of plug-in perfumes and scented candles."
