Science Report - Phthalates found in obese children

Written by masterchef on
A U.S. study suggests endocrine disruptors such as phthalates may play a role in childhood obesity, the Mount Sinai School of Medicine said. Researchers found children in New York’s East Harlem are three times more likely than other children in the United States to be overweight. The study determined neighborhood characteristics — including availability of convenience foods — likely play a strong role in the number of obese children. Eighty percent of the children in the study reported purchasing food items from convenience stores at least one time per week, the hospital said in a report released Thursday. High levels of phthalates and Bisphenol ... Read Full Story

When the level of thyroid hormones is too low, the thyroid hormone imbalance is known as hypothyroidism. When the body produces an excessive amount of the thyroid hormone, the condition is referred to as hyperthyroidism. Low levels of thyroid hormones (hypothyroidism) are...

What Is Graves' Disease? What Causes Graves' Disease?
Graves' disease is an autoimmune disease in which the patient's own immune system attacks the thyroid gland, causing it to produce too much thyroxine. Thyroxine (T4) is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland that has four iodine molecules attached to its molecular structure. T4, as well as other thyroid hormones help regulate growth and control metabolism in the body.
