A member asked:
What cancers can be caused by endocrine disruptors, such as those found in chemicals in products?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I don't believe it: If you believed most claims about "endocrine disruptors" in the environment as a cause of cancer, you'd be reading uncritically. Real science is utterly cutthroat and if a danger to humans could be proved, it would be by now. Most folks share my skepticism. The original paper in "Science" that got all the press was retracted as a fake. Don't let such fears make your life harder.
