Endocrine disruptors (ED) may alter <strong>hormonal<\/strong> (endocrine), <strong>immunitary<\/strong> and <strong>reproductive system<\/strong>, in several ways. <strong>A lot of everyday chemicals<\/strong> show this tendency, some more (as <strong>bisphenol A<\/strong>, some <strong>phtalates<\/strong>, <strong>PTFE<\/strong>, <strong>flame<\/strong> <strong>retardants<\/strong>, <strong>triclosan<\/strong>, etc.), some less (as <strong>parabens<\/strong>). The strenght of some more chemicals (as some <strong>essential oils <\/strong>ingredients) need to be assessed: some of them were notified to health supervisory authorities by physicians, other have been toxicologically investigated peer review, but they all need more studies to be classified.<\/p>\n<p>There is a debate about &#8220;dosage&#8221;: a part of\u00a0 the scientific community think that ED may be safe if assumed or absorbed in low quantities, less than a specific dosage; on the contrary, other scientists believe in &#8220;<strong>low dosage hypothesis<\/strong>&#8220;, which introduces the possibility of adverse effects (damages to endocrine, immunitary and\/or reproductive system) even at very low dosages. <strong>EFSA<\/strong> (European Food Safety Authority) suggests to verify the need to apply it case by case: in particular, some chemicals show &#8220;suspect&#8221; behaviour and must be investigated more carefully.<\/p>\n<p>Among suspect characteristics, in our opinion, <strong>bioaccumulation<\/strong> (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensos.com\/bioaccumulabilita-capitolo-primo\/\" target=\"_blank\">this article<\/a>): if a chemical is assumed at low dosages, but is accumulative, lifelong the safety threshold may be exceeded.<br \/>\nAnother reason may be the <strong>high diffusion<\/strong> of the chemical in everyday products (foods, detergents, cosmetics, tissue dyes, etc.): if a chemical is an ingredient in a lot of products, even a low concentration one, the daily exposition to it must be counted as the sum of the concentrations in each product.<\/p>\n<p>What we think is that only <strong>avoiding exposition<\/strong> to ED is recommendable particularly for<strong> kids<\/strong>, both in high and in low dosages.
