    We hope that the authorities are informed of such studies and decide if they need to take action. It’s advisable for us, to follow only their directives. (But it’s also good for us to keep an eye to various scientific studies about ingredients safety). ;)

    There’s no control. This is the same problem with the Darby research on finding parabens in breast cancer tissue. That they found parabens is not surprising since it’s a food preservative & urine is where the body gets rid of waste.

    This study does nothing to answer the implied question “Are parabens causing infertility?”  

    Although I suppose the data does support the conclusion that the most commonly used paraben, Methylparaben, is not causing infertility.

    It also hasn’t been replicated.
