Key Findings on Obesogens

• Phthalates: Widely used in plastics, these chemicals disrupt hormonal balance and alter metabolism, promoting fat storage.
• Pesticides: Organophosphates and pyrethroids, common in conventionally grown fruits and vegetables, have been linked to weight gain.
• Nonylphenol: Found in plastics and detergents, this chemical has estrogenic effects that contribute to weight gain.
• Parabens: These preservatives, prevalent in cosmetic and personal care products, disrupt hormonal balance and promote weight gain.
• PFAS: Present in non-stick cookware, food packaging, flame retardants, furniture, and electronics, PFAS have been linked to weight gain. Studies show individuals with higher blood levels of PFAS are more likely to regain weight after dieting.

Protecting Yourself from Obesogens
The effects of these chemicals accumulate with repeated exposure. To minimize contact with obesogens, Dr. Pompa recommends:

• Choosing Organic Produce: Whenever possible, opt for organic fruits and vegetables.
• Using Safe Containers: Switch to glass or stainless steel containers for food and beverages.
• Avoiding Harmful Personal Care Products: Look for products free from harmful chemicals like parabens and phthalates.
