Endocrine disruptors are found in many everyday products, including some cosmetics, food and beverage packaging, toys, carpet, and pesticides. Some chemicals that act as flame retardants may also be endocrine disruptors. Contact with these chemicals may occur through air, diet, skin, and water.
Dr Greger's videos on BPA.
Plastics have become an integral part of modern living. Many of us are trying to minimize plastic use in our day to day lives. Dr Greger videos helped me learn a few things about plastics, phthalates and microplastics.
Dioxins are highly toxic pollutants (human carcinogens) that accumulate in tissue fat.
Where are flame retardant chemicals like PBDEs (Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers) found? Where are PCNs (polychlorinated naphthalenes) found? Are they harmful?
PCBs (Polychlorinated biphenyls) are a group of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) which continue to persist in our environment for surprisingly long periods of time.
Dr Greger videos on dangers associated with cosmetics like deoderants, lipsticks and henna.
Dr Greger videos on dangers associated with common household products.
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs), sometimes known as "forever chemicals" are organic compounds that are resistant to environmental degradation. POPs are known for bioaccumulation and biomagnification. They have adverse impact on human health and environment.
How many industrial pollutants are found in our bodies? In what amounts?
How do industrial pollutants impact our health?
How do industrial pollutants in our food impact pregnancy and maternity?
Do industrial pollutants effectuate early puberty and low fertility rates?
Is it possible that industrial pollutants, and myriad modern chemicals used in our food supply, and objects we use in our daily life may be causing obesity and diabetes? This is an area of ongoing research.
Dr Greger explains that plants can help us counter the negative effects of industrial pollutants.
