Study: Many Pesticides Block Male Hormones

February, 2011 - Did you know that what you eat may affect your hormones? It's true, especially when you're young. A recent study published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives looked how pesticides used on fruits and vegetables may disrupt hormones in young men and babies. This study, performed in the United Kingdom and conducted by researchers from the University of London, found that 30 of the 37 pesticides tested contained chemicals that blocked or mimicked male hormones. While there was already some evidence about the dangers of 14 of these chemicals, the rest were not previously known to affect hormones.

BodyLogicMD affiliated physicians recommend eating organic foods that have not been contaminated by these and other unnatural chemicals. These doctors are available to help patients devise a healthy nutrition plan. And if you do believe that you may be suffering with problems caused by hormonal imbalances, a BodyLogicMD affiliated doctor can help by testing your hormone levels and balancing your hormones.
