This is a pretty fascinating and well thought out post. You bring up some food for thought, I have long been hearing about endocrine disrupted, it's infuriating to know that a lot of the products we consume and deem safe may be causing us so much harm. Thanks for the great writing!

Thank you for taking the time to read and lend your support @juliakponsford I know it's a long post but I had so much information to put across that it kind of took on a life of it's own! It really is disturbing, especially from the perspective that many of the endocrine disrupters are often only picked up at later dates. Like in the case of the pesticides, it was only upon privately funded rigourous testing from London's center for toxicology that this effect was even noticed! It's so difficult to avoid and it's only when you start researching it that you begin to realise how prevalent it actually is! I'm so glad to have supplied some food for thought, indeed one things for sure and that's the fact that it's certainly made me think about the food I eat. Thank you for the great comment!
What's especially insidious is some of these things can appear safe in tests but only build up after long term frequent exposure. Any number of things that we think are innocuous could be making us ill. My grandmother worked in a lab and she used to say all the time: who knows maybe the ink from the newspaper is absorbing into our skin and making us get cancer? There is so much we just don't know at all.
Yes very true @juliakponsford indeed why do the till receipts contain estrogen? Many people buy water filters (which is a great idea) but they forget that in the respect of baths and showers our skin also absorbs water. It's a minefield and once you start looking into it a becomes a rabbit hole, I know it scares some people but you know in the long run knowledge is power!
