Obesogens are chemicals thought to contribute to weight gain and obesity by disrupting hormonal and metabolic systems. They potentially alter how the body creates and stores fat, regulates appetite, and processes glucose. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can mimic or block hormones, disrupting the body’s normal functions and leading to adverse health effects. The most common sources of EDCs include plastics, pesticides, flame retardants, non-stick cookware, and personal care products. These substances can disrupt the endocrine system, particularly hormones related to metabolism and fat storage, such as estrogen and thyroid hormones, which can impact reproductive health, brain function, energy levels, and the immune system.
Ongoing research continues to explore the full impact of obesogens on human health. Reducing exposure to these toxins is essential for maintaining a healthy endocrine system and preventing associated disorders. Adopting practices such as using EDC-free products, ensuring clean water sources, and promoting eco-friendly cleaning can help reduce exposure risks.
