Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs)
Nearly every person on the planet is exposed to BPA and another class of endocrinedisrupting chemicals called phthalates. Exposure to these chemicals slightly reduce the vitamin D levels in human and has widespread implications for public health (Vitamin D plays a broad role in maintaining bone and muscle health). In addition, low vitamin D levels have been implicated in outcomes of numerous conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer, etc.
BPA (Bisphenol A) leeches out from the feeding bottles after dishwashing, boiling or bruising contaminating other products and makes the babies more vulnerable to EDCs. Dermal contact of the personal care products applied such as hand lotion, creams, moisturizers, scented products, etc contain EDCs.
Similarly, the BPA-free sippy cups used for babies, sold at a relatively higher price in the market, also contain BPA. The baby teethers have some preservatives like paraben, which also affect the endocrine system. BPA and other chemicals even leached out of brands labeled BPA-free or non-toxic and found more than 15 to 20 toxic chemicals in baby tethers of different brands.
The chemicals used in the personal care products have properties of EDCs that include parabens, triclosan, triclocarbon, phthalate, formaldehyde releasing agents, ethanolamines, butylated hydrxyanisole, propylene glycol etc. Generally these chemicals act as antimicrobial agents, stabilizers, solvents, dispersants, lubricants, binders, emulsifying agents, suspending agents, skin penetration enhancers in the products. These chemicals are also used as antibrittleness and anti-cracking agents in nail polishes and sealants, as anti-foaming agents in aerosols, and act as a creamy texture and foaming action in creams and face wash. The chemicals used in the personal care products are mostly fat-soluble and do not get rapidly flushed out of the body, but are stored in the fat and gradually bio-accumulated into the food chain.
