Understanding Endocrine Disruptors And How You Can Avoid Them

Living in a world filled with so many toxins that can wreak havoc on our health, it’s important to understand how your life may be affected and how you can keep yourself safe. Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that may interfere with the body’s endocrine system by mimicking hormones in your body, causing adverse developmental, reproductive, neurological, and immune effects.
Hormones affected include the female sex hormone estrogen, the male sex hormone androgen, and thyroid hormones. These chemicals can block hormonal signals in the body and disrupt how the hormones or receptors are made or controlled. And with the potential risk of life-threatening conditions and illnesses, including cancer, clearly this is not something to be taken lightly.
