Fast Food Identified as a Significant Source of Hormone-Disrupting Chemicals


Story at-a-glance -

  • People who got at least 35 percent of their calories from fast food in a 24-hour period had nearly 24 percent higher levels of DEHP and 39 percent higher DiNP in their urine than those who had not consumed any fast food
  • Animal studies show exposure to the phthalate metabolite DEHP can damage the liver, kidneys, lungs, and reproductive system, particularly the developing testes of prenatal and neonatal males
  • Recent research has linked both DEHP and DiNP to increased insulin resistance in adolescents
