All doctors and nutritionists agree that the key to preventing obesity is a balanced diet and exercise, but according to recent research, there are other things that also plays an important role, such as the use of beauty products.
The results obtained by a team of researchers at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, said that phthalates, a chemical that is widely incorporated into beauty products, contribute to weight gain, as phthalates are known to alter the endocrine system and should be avoided whenever possible.
In fact, phthalates are found in nearly 70 percent of shampoo, cosmetics and soaps. From research we know that this chemical can alter the system of natural weight control, because they can disrupt the endocrine system, having an impact on the hormones and glands that produce them.
The researchers also warn that other harmful compound is bisphenol-A, a substance found in many containers of plastic containers and usually are marked with the number 7.
A pediatric researcher made ​​an analysis of 330 children in East Harlem trying to figure out how exposure to phthalates is associated with body weight and although exposure to these chemicals just a little contribute to obesity, at least be avoided, the researchers told the Daily Mail
To avoid exposure to phthalates, the experts advise choosing a beauty product or unscented organic, according to the Mount Sinai team found an association between obesity and exposure to everyday chemicals, in fact researchers at the University of Stirling, Scotland, called bisphenol A and phthalates, "chemical calories".
