Nice video geoff..i think same goes for the word “endocrine disrupters” .. people from functional medicine background..label different things under this term..like don't use this sunscreen, Don't eat this food , don't drink this...like this stuff... what's your take on this.
It calls for a longer and more nuanced discussion, but in short, I do think that the term "endocrine disruptor" gets tossed around too liberally and thus often falls under the "scare words" category. While many substances to have the potential to cause issues with endocrine function, people who come up with alarmist lists about ingredients to avoid or foods that are secretly killing you almost *never* bother to speak clearly (and competently) about dosages, accumulated concentrations, forms of exposure, whether an ingredient is consumed in isolation versus alongside other stuff, whether the research they're citing was in vitro, whether they're basing conclusion on animal-derived data... the list goes on. So we need to be careful and not label things in a binary "safe/not safe" sort of way. I've actually drawn a lot of ire from quacks in Facebook groups and the like by daring to mention several of the factors above when cautioning against premature conclusions. Hell, I even had one individual get *so* offended at my reminding a bunch of massage therapists that rodents are not people -- and perhaps offended that I called them out when they ignorantly tried to push back on my innocuous points -- that they actually looked up where I was attending school and apparently emailed my dean (or had someone else do it in their place) in an attempt to get me in trouble and threaten my degree. I swear I'm not making that up or exaggerating it. These people can get *nuts* when they smell blood in the water. Just a wacky additional story you didn't ask for 😅 Thanks for the kind words and interest, by the way. I appreciate it and wish I could dedicate more of my time and efforts to clearing up misconceptions.
