Hidden Chemicals Linked To Increased Risk Of Obesity

Hidden Chemicals Linked To Increased Risk Of Obesity


Your calorie intake may not be the only thing contributing to your weight problem! Scientists have discovered hidden chemicals called obesogens that wreak havoc on our bodies.
Obesogens are contained in many household items such as PVC plastics, many kids toys, some household goods, building products, and pet toys.
Said Dr. Theresa Piotrowski, medical director of Lahey Clinic’s Medical and Surgical Weight Loss Center:

“Certain cells that would normally differentiate into cells that would develop into, say, muscle tissue, or connective tissue, would change and develop into fat tissue or fat cells.├óΓé¼┬¥

Some suggest that the government needs to take action to reduce the prevalence of these chemicals in various products.
We agree! If these chemicals are definitely making us fatter, they should be outlawed!!
