"Endocrine disrupters", heard this before? These are chemicals that do a great job at messing up your hormones by increasing levels, decreasing others, pretending to act like hormones but in disguise and interfering with hormone signalling, those jerks!

And there's more to the story than that.

Have a joyous day!
