We all have plenty of disruptions in life: zoom fatigue, dogs barking, online school, car problems, losing your phone. But what about those disruptions that are truly unsettling, endocrine disruptors?

Increasing production of certain hormones. Decreasing the production of certain hormones. Imitating hormones in the body. Turning one hormone into another. Interfering with hormone signaling. Telling cells to die prematurely. Competing with essential nutrients in the body. Binding to important hormones. Accumulating in the organs that secrete hormones. There is no end to the tricks that endocrine disruptors can play on our bodies.
