"Exposure to food and everyday electronic, cosmetic and plastic products containing EDCs may be costing up to €31 billion per year in the EU, according to a report launched by campaign secretariat the Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL). Spiralling rates of hormone-related disease may be due to exposure to hormone-mimicking synthetic chemicals found in food, drink and everyday products. New study says if a small portion of hormone-related cancers, diabetes & obesity, and infertility could be avoided by reducing exposure to hormone disrupting chemicals, then billions in costs from these diseases and conditions could be saved. A change in European chemicals policy could massively reduce costs associated with cases of hormone-related diseases and conditions."
