Endocrine Disruptors

Politics, industry and science can't seem to agree on the effects of #EndocrineDisruptors in our food, clothing and nature. Here is the view of a scientist

DES #Diethylstilbestrol is now proven to have effects on the third generation in terms of risk of cancer http://t.co/NHA0l0dDlH @DES_Journal

@VinoIndustry And at the same time companies that make money on FDA approvals get to publish in scientific journals: http://t.co/mheFg8P0uC

[Endocrine Disruptors @EDCscience]

@VinoIndustry I guess scientists like me still can't believe that someone would abuse science that way. And put people's lives at risk

[Endocrine Disruptors @EDCscience]

@VinoIndustry I don't like encouraging conspiracy theories, but too many FDA representatives have ties to the industry.

[Endocrine Disruptors @EDCscience]

@frawgdawg73 @lynnepeeps
Agreed. But it's just as important to let people know how to avoid these chemicals. Knowledge is power.

[Endocrine Disruptors @EDCscience]

@VinoIndustry The most disturbing part is that it's written by 12 FDA scientists: http://t.co/rzQCvxQ8bZ Great article by @BrianBienkowski

@scottjbecker Have you seen this UN report on #EndocrineDisruptors? http://t.co/1WB65oOhOg

[Endocrine Disruptors @EDCscience]

Even on Twitter, most people discussing #EndocrineDisruptors are professionals. How do we include the general public? @DES_Journal

The US Food and Drug Administration must completely ban bisphenol-A http://t.co/xoh31FqNcv The Petition via @DES_Journal #BPA #EDCs #FDA

[Endocrine Disruptors @EDCscience]

@BrianBienkowski Thank you for posting. It's a welcomed debate among us EDC scientists!

[Endocrine Disruptors @EDCscience]

@frawgdawg73 So do I. I see the negative effects of #EndocrineDisruptors in my lab every day. As do thousands of other scientist.

[Endocrine Disruptors @EDCscience]

@BrianBienkowski I did read the story, it was great. I just thought the EU link might add even further weight to the critique.

[Endocrine Disruptors @EDCscience]

@EnvirHealthNews The EU disagrees: http://t.co/VbIxdyTUqw

@BrianBienkowski @US_FDA The EU disagrees: http://t.co/VbIxdzaXsw

@amyziff #EndocrineDisruptors also damage the brain, cardio system and immune system. Here's a #UN report: http://t.co/mo5nkv6nzX

[Endocrine Disruptors @EDCscience]

It was shown already in 2007 that #EndocrineDisruptors like #parabens and #phtalates are absorbed through the skin: http://t.co/PQe05aF8pj

[Endocrine Disruptors @EDCscience]

Sure, it's great that the EU bans #BPA in baby bottles, but it's still allowed in everything else the baby touches. http://t.co/VbIxdzaXsw

[Endocrine Disruptors @EDCscience]

@frawgdawg73 This is what the UN has to say about #EndocrineDisruptors. http://t.co/mo5nkv6nzX Not a very encouraging read i'm afraid.

[Endocrine Disruptors @EDCscience]

UN report on the effects of #EndocrineDisruptors : http://t.co/mo5nkv6nzX Science has said this for years, when will politics listen?
