Of course, we know that it is not only a pesticides matter, as it occurs in detergency and cosmetics too. Hence let us take advantage of the current discussion to get in depth.<\/p>\n<p>Experts (as A. Moretto, associated Professor at Milan University and chief of International Center for Pesticides and Health Prevention at Sacco Hospital) properly say that &#8220;endocrine disruptor&#8221; is quite an unclear term: for example, much of our food temporarily interfere with endocrine glands functions (ex.: sugar interferes with insulin production by the pancreas), but usually it is not a pathogenic interaction. Such cases show very well that, according to the substance, the <strong>dose<\/strong> must be considered, as well as understanding if there is an <strong>adverse effect<\/strong> or not. Moreover, it does make no sense extending to several chemicals the same toxicity: each substance is different from the others, so it needs to be singularly evaluated. [Source: Agronotizie.it]\n<p>Back to detergency and cosmetics, let we consider for example a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/17267908\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study published in Pubmed<\/a> by the U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, which shows a <strong>likely correlation between serious endocrine problems in children and the use of lavender and Tea tree essential oils<\/strong> in cleansers and soaps. Since they are made with natural substances, moreover associated with very pleasant perfumes and traditionally thought to be moisturizers for the skin, people have a tendency not take into account the idea they could be <em>toxic<\/em>. Instead, in that case even the relatively little doses of substances were able to express their harmfulness on the babies.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, we may identify the following key points:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the scientific experts in Toxicology can <strong>measure and assess the toxicity level of a substance<\/strong>, not only <em>observing if<\/em> a toxic effect was seen (qualitative assessment), but also <em>measuring the strength<\/em> of this effect (quantitative assessment);<\/li>\n<li>the substances categories, particularly if they are <strong>macro-categories<\/strong> made with different kind of chemicals, in Toxicology <strong>are of little or no scientific value<\/strong>: each chemicals should be individually assessed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is the reason why Bensos carefully studies scientific literature data, with the aim to evaluate and reject <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensos.com\/en\/criteri-e-filosofia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>all the long-term toxic ingredients<\/strong><\/a>, based on numerical parameters, epidemiological data, toxicological assessments and reviews collected or carried out by public institutions and universities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Substances suspected to be endocrine disruptors are currently to the fore in debates about pesticides.
