Endocrine-disrupting chemicals, also known as EDCs, are natural or human-made substances that interfere with the healthy functioning of the body’s endocrine system.
The endocrine system is made up of glands throughout the body, along with the hormones that these glands produce and receptors that respond to the hormones. Endocrine glands include the pituitary, thymus, pancreas and adrenals. Hormones act like messengers, traveling through the body to deliver instructions that control biological processes ranging from growth and development to sleep, digestion and childbirth.
Humans have more than 50 hormones. These include estrogen and testosterone, which help to control sexual development, as well as the “feel good” hormones serotonin, endorphins and oxytocin, which regulate mood, along with many other processes.
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals change how the endocrine system works. Some EDCs are chemically similar to our hormones and mimic their effects in the body. Others block the action of hormones, increase or decrease their levels, or affect how the body responds.
Because the endocrine system is extremely sensitive, endocrine disruptors can be hazardous in tiny amounts, such as one part per trillion — the equivalent of one drop of water in 20 Olympic-sized swimming pools. Some of these substances, such as lead, are so harmful that there is no known level of exposure that is not considered dangerous to some degree.
According to one estimate, there are roughly 1,000 endocrine disrupting chemicals currently in use. However, this number is likely an undercount. There are hundreds of thousands of synthetic chemicals, and only a small percentage have been assessed for their effects on the endocrine system.

One big source is Receipts.
The paper receipts like you get at the grocery store do not use ink. They use color-changing “thermal” paper coated in an endocrine-disrupting chemical (BPA). It is a loose power easy to get on your hands. It is extra bad if you also use the free alcohol wipes that are usually at the store entry or by the shopping carts, because the alcohol facilitates absorption.
Do not touch these receipts. Ask the clerk to throw them away for you.
Purity of Essence
No endocrine disrupters for me, Mandrake.
You’re wise. Don’t allow women to steal your purity. Deny them your essence…
You know what’s a huge source of endocrine disruptors? Broccoli. True fact. Don’t fall for this nonsense.

EHN or Environmental Health News, is lying to you.
I'm going to need a source for this claim...

Im sure there is an “expert” out there that can help there seems to be a lot of these idiots these days, Im sure one or a few of these experts will squeeze in climate change at some point
Doesn’t rain water have Strontium 90 in it?
That’s a Communist conspiracy.
I’m pretty certain that fear is a greater endocrine disruptor than anything experts insist we’re supposed to be afraid of.
One that I learned about the hard way is the black non-stick pans contributing to endocrine disorders. Went back to cast iron, copper, glass and stainless steel.
that’s a cruciferous vegetable that can block thyroid hormone but if it’s cook that blockage diminishes or disappears.
