Crucial for proper development S I S U O R G A N I C S | U W A N I H U B F O U N D A T I O N There are very important periods in human development that require hormones in specific quantities - too little can cause defects and too much can trigger disease and disabilities.

6. The most popular Hormone Disruptors S I S U O R G A N I C S | U W A N I H U B F O U N D A T I O N can be found in mattresses, upholstered furniture, foam cushions, baby car seats, insulation, and electronics.

Flame retardant is commonly found in the lining of canned foods and other food-packaging materials, certain plastic bottles, and cash register receipts. BPA has been linked to breast and other cancers, reproductive and fertility issues, obesity, and early puberty. Bisphenol A (BPA) are plasticizer chemicals found in “fragrance,” PVC plastic, toys, and plastic wrap. Studies have linked phthalates to birth defects in the male reproductive system, lower sperm count, lower sperm motility, miscarriages, and gestational diabetes Phthalates fluorinated compounds known as PFAS chemicals includes more than 4,700 chemicals, some linked to cancer, thyroid disease, weakened immunity, and developmental defects, and others whose health effects are unknown. These nonstick, waterproof, grease-resistant chemicals are used to make cookware, waterproof clothing, coatings on upholstered furniture and carpeting, and food packaging.

Processed foods contain chemicals used for preservation that can cause terrible diseases e.g. breast cancer. Plastic toys, food wrap, containers microwave plates and even phone casing can contain Phthalates and PFAs and BPAs. Preservatives and synthetic homogenizers present in all our daily cosmetic products are actually disrupting our hormones, both male and female.
