A propos de cet article

A leading voice in public health policy and top environmental medicine scientist reveals the alarming truth about how hormone-disrupting chemicals are affecting our daily lives--and what we can do to protect ourselves and fight back. Lurking in our homes, hiding in our offices, and polluting the air we breathe is something sinister. Something we've turned a blind eye to for far too long. Dr. Leonardo Trasande, a pediatrician, professor, and world-renowned researcher, tells the story of how our everyday surroundings are making us sicker, fatter, and poorer. Dr. Trasande exposes the chemicals that disrupt our hormonal systems and damage our health in irreparable ways. He shows us where these chemicals hide--in our homes, our schools, at work, in our food, and countless other places we can't control--as well as the workings of policy that protects the continued use of these chemicals in our lives. Drawing on extensive research and expertise, he outlines dramatic studies and emerging evidence about the rapid increases in neurodevelopmental, metabolic, reproductive, and immunological diseases directly related to the hundreds of thousands of chemicals that we are exposed to every day. Unfortunately, nowhere is safe. But, thanks to Dr. Trasande's work on the topic, and his commitment to effecting change, this book can help. Through a blend of narrative, scientific detective work, and concrete information about the connections between chemicals and disease, he shows us what we can do to protect ourselves and our families in the short-term, and how we can help bring the change we deserve. This essential guide reveals the hidden science and provides a clear plan of action: The Endocrine Disruption Link: Dr. Trasande connects the dots between common health issues--from metabolic disorders to neurodevelopmental delays--and the invisible chemicals in our homes, food, and air. Hormone Disruption Explained: Uncover where toxic chemicals like phthalates, flame retardants, and BPA are hiding in plain sight and learn the science of how they disrupt our hormonal systems. The True Economic Cost: Go beyond the health effects to understand the staggering economic burden these chemicals place on our families and society, making us not just sicker, but poorer. Actionable Disease Prevention: Arm yourself with practical, evidence-based steps to reduce your family's exposure, choose safer products, and advocate for the systemic change needed to protect our future.…
