Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology: These substances are destroying health, causing obesity, infertility, cancer and other problems.

"This is the best of times, this is the worst of times," Dickens wrote at the beginning of the world famous "Twin Cities." !----" In the rapid development of science and technology today, people's lives are more and more convenient, but the living environment is getting worse, all kinds of diseases and disasters more frequently appear.we seem to be living in a worse world than we were a hundred years ago, and the widespread use of chemical synthetics seems to be changing our bodies and destroying our health., 21 July local time, The Lancet? An article published in The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology reveals the chemical lyses commonly found in industry and household goods and their effects on human health.an international team of researchers at New York University's Grossman School of Medicine, who analyzed studies of environmental endocrine disruptors over the past five years, found that chemicals contained in non-stick pots, waterproof clothing, plastic bottles and other items can cycle through out across the body, leading to a variety of diseases, including infertility, diabetes, brain development, obesity, and so on.environmental endocrine disruptors destroy healthy environmental endocrine disruptors (EDCs), also known as environmental hormones, mainly refer stoic pollutants released into the environment in human production and life activities.common EDCs include perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), bisphenols, phthalates, organophosphate pesticides, etc., which can affect endocrine system function seyoungs.currently recognized as one of the major potential environmental risks in the world.2015, a joint investigation led by the United Nations and the World Health Organization identified the extent to which EDC exposure and related effects of 15 traditional compounds were linked.based on this, the new study focused on studies related to synthetic chemicals currently commonly used and identified a range of EDC exposures and outcomes associated with perinatal, neurodevelopmental, metabolic, and reproductive outcomes.common EDC exposure and consequences perfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) is a group of man-made chemicals, often used in non-stick products, polishes, paints, waterproof fabrics and other substances.analyzed the literature on the series, the researchers found that PFAS exposure appeared to be closely associated with obesity, impaired sugar tolerance, gestational diabetes, weight loss at birth, decreased semen quality, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis and breast cancer.bisphenolcompounds are often used as plasticizers, antioxidants, thermal stabilizers and other additives in plastics, paper money, thermal paper and other daily necessities.evidence that exposure to these substances is closely related to adult diabetes, decreased semen quality, polycystic ovary syndrome, and so on.phthalates are common plasticizers and are common in plastics and paints.exposure to these substances is associated with premature birth, male infertility and reduced fertility, childhood obesity and impaired glucose tolerance., exposure to organophosphate pesticides is associated with decreased semen quality, prostate cancer and breast cancer in men, while prenatal exposure to organophosphate pesticides is closely related to decreased IQ and intellectual disability, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and so on. Linda Kahn, a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Pediatrics at New York University's Lange School of Health and one of the lead authors of the report, said: "These new findings reinforce the evidence linking EDC to health problems in the body, especially the nervous system. While further research is needed to further establish the causal link between EDC exposure and health problems, urgent action is now needed and our public has consumed too much for serious and long-term health problems.
