Triclosan Linked to Obesity

published study describes how Triclosan, an antibacterial chemical in toothpaste, soap, and household cleaners, alters gut microbiota and is linked to obesity.

BPA a Known Xenoestrogen Linked to Obesity & Hormone Issues

A 2017 study determined how humans are exposed to bisphenol A (BPA), a known xenoestrogen which causes obesity, diabetes, breast cancer, and reproductive disorders.

Inflammatory and Cardiometabolic Risk on Obesity: Role of Environmental Xenoestrogens

A 2015 study reveals that xenoestrogens found in everyday consumer products are linked to obesity.

Obesogens: An Environmental Link to Obesity

A 2012 study looks at how endocrine disruptors like bisphenol A (BPA) found in canned foods, cash register receipts along with other hormone disruptors found in pharmaceuticals and environmental sources are likely contributing to weight gain.

Urinary Bisphenol A and Obesity: NHANES

A 2011 study looks at bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical suspected of causing endocrine and metabolic disruption in animals and humans. In rodents, in utero exposure to low-dose BPA is associated with weight gain. Detectable levels of BPA are found in most Americans due to its widespread use in the manufacture of food and drink packaging. We hypothesized that urinary BPA concentrations would be positively associated with general and central obesity.
