NYU Langone recently released a study that is a major indictment on the plastic bottle industry. According to the study, plastic bottles contain chemicals that contribute to cancer, autism, ADHD, as well as other major disorders. The causal mechanism cited by the study is a number of chemicals that interrupt normal functioning of the human endocrine system, which is responsible for maintaining proper hormone levels in the human body. Plastic-related illnesses cost the United States an estimated $340 million every year.
Key Takeaways:
- Plastic bottles contain hormone-disrupting chemicals that can cause cancer, diabetes, ADHD and autism
- Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) interfere with the body’s hormonal system
- The most common EDC-related illness is neurological – including attention-ADHD, autism and loss of IQ
“The most common EDC-related illness is neurological – including attention-ADHD, autism and loss of IQ.”
