Here is some information from the Natural Resources Defense Council's Internet page on endocrine disruptors!
"2. What is an endocrine disruptor?
An endocrine disruptor is a synthetic chemical that when absorbed into the body either mimics or blocks hormones and disrupts the body's normal functions. This disruption can happen through altering normal hormone levels, halting or stimulating the production of hormones, or changing the way hormones travel through the body, thus affecting the functions that these hormones control. Chemicals that are known human endocrine disruptors include diethylstilbesterol (the drug DES), dioxin, PCBs, DDT, and some other pesticides. Many chemicals, particularly pesticides and plasticizers, are suspected endocrine disruptors based on limited animal studies."
This is really wordy, so I hope it helps! I think what it says is that endocrine disruptors alter your body and hormones. I remember a lot of things about hormones from being a teenager, and none of them were pleasant, so keep an eye out okay? And for heavens sakes, avoid particularly pesticides and plasticizers, or what I will now refer to as "THE THREE P"S OF DOOM"
Also, I think the part at the very end about the "limited animal studies" means everyone involved in the studies died or something.
Because this stuff is mega important, and I read a few years back that the language of the internet might become japanese, I translated this into japanese using the altavista's babelfish.
ATTENTION JAPANESE PEOPLE
As for disruptor of the incretion when being absorbed in the body, you imitate and, or you obstruct the hormone, and it is the comprehensive chemical which destroys the normal function of the body. Therefore this discontinuance stop it changes the level of the normal hormone, or makes, or stimulates the production of the hormone, or passes by the body and it is possible to happen by changing methodological hormone travelling and effect is produced on the function which these hormones control. The chemical which is disruptors of the incretion of the human who is known diethylstilbesterol (DES of the medicine), dioxin, PCBs and DDT, and includes the other insecticide which is. It is disruptors of the incretion where many chemicals, the especially insecticide and the plasticizer are based on the animal investigation which is limited and are doubted.
I might go back and translate the whole site if this works good.
