Obesogens sound scary, and they are.
Obesogens may be a new term to you, but we've known about them for quite some time. They're chemicals that are all around us, and they disrupt hormone function and metabolic functions which can cause bodies to gain fat and struggle to lose it. This potentially increases the risk of diabetes, stroke, and other health problems.
Sources of exposure include nonstick cookware, plastic food storage containers, personal care products, and more. Unfortunately, exposure to these chemicals can begin in prenatal development.
This article details different types of obesogens, where they're found, and actions to reduce your exposure, and includes databases of obesogen-free cosmetics and consumer products.
