Things Worth Noting
Glyphosate, the key ingredient in Roundup, is a widely used herbicide in farming, especially with glyphosate-resistant GMO crops. It kills weeds effectively but raises health concerns like cancer (e.g., non-Hodgkin lymphoma), endocrine disruption, and neurological issues. The IARC calls it “probably carcinogenic,” sparking lawsuits, while the EPA deems it safe within limits. Studies show mixed […]
Everyday life exposes men to stress, processed foods, plastics, and grooming products that disrupt hormones. These endocrine disruptors—like BPA, phthalates, and parabens—mimic estrogen, throwing off the testosterone-estrogen balance. Stress boosts cortisol, which can lower testosterone, while processed foods with pesticides and emulsifiers add estrogenic compounds. Plastics leach xenoestrogens like microplastics and phthalates, and grooming products […]
Receipt paper is an everyday item most of us encounter without a second thought—crumpled in wallets, tossed in recycling bins, or handed over by cashiers. Yet, beneath its unassuming surface lies a complex web of chemicals that has sparked scientific scrutiny, regulatory debates, and growing public health concerns. At the heart of this issue are […]
Microplastics in canned soda pose significant health risks and environmental concerns. These tiny plastic particles can leach into beverages from can linings, potentially causing inflammation and oxidative stress in consumers. Many plastics contain harmful additives like phthalates and BPA, which disrupt hormonal systems. Environmentally, microplastics contribute to pollution, harming aquatic ecosystems and entering the food […]
Dust in the home can potentially cause hormonal imbalances due to the presence of substances known as endocrine disruptors. Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that interfere with the normal functioning of hormones in the body, potentially leading to adverse health effects. There are various endocrine disruptors that may be present in household dust, including: Studies have […]
