BPA’s toxic effects are
well-publicized. From the lining of canned foods to polycarbonate hard
plastics to even the thermal coatings on cash register receipts, this is
one of the world’s most proven bad news endocrine disruptors. BPA is
linked to everything from hormone-related breast and prostate cancers
to polycystic ovarian syndrome and early puberty.

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) like phthalates, triclosan and even compounds detected in fish you should never eat are
among the 85,000-plus manufactured chemicals in use in the United
States. They’re found in everyday products and throughout the
environment. For instance, did you know that things like atrazine increase tap water toxicity? It’s true.
