PHTHALATES & BPA

Plastic Chemicals Are Rewiring Your Hormones.

Bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates are ubiquitous plastic-derived chemicals that mimic oestrogen, disrupt androgen signalling, impair thyroid function, and alter gene expression. Detected in the blood of 93% of the UK population, these endocrine disruptors are stored in adipose tissue, cross the placental barrier, and are linked to reduced sperm count, early puberty, PCOS, breast cancer, and metabolic dysfunction.
