Did you know that the high prevalence of obesity is not solely attributed to lifestyle factors such as diet and physical activity?
Medical researchers have identified a potential link between obesity and exposure to environmental pollutants.
Pollutants such as Bisphenol A (BPA) and Phthalates, which are commonly found in plastics, have been shown to disrupt the endocrine system, which can lead to weight gain and other health issues.
This suggests that reducing exposure to environmental pollutants may be an important strategy for addressing obesity and beyond.
