What people are saying
Many discussions highlight the importance of understanding endocrine disruptors' effects, with posts referencing the broad scope of research, such as mentioning 'gene-environment interactions' and the effects on reproductive health. The tone varies from scientific and analytical to urgent and advocacy-oriented, emphasizing the perceived significance of the publication in shaping future health measures and awareness.
Most discussions recognize the significance of the publication, with many emphasizing the established links between endocrine disruptors and health issues. Phrases like 'most supporting the importance' and references to multiple scientific references indi
The discussions demonstrate high curiosity, with multiple mentions of specific chemicals, health effects, and calls for further research. The tone shows participants are eager to understand and explore the topic deeply.
Posts often go beyond surface-level mention, referencing specific molecular mechanisms, sex differences, and critiques of regulatory gaps, indicating a meaningful level of involvement with the topic.
Numerous comments highlight the potential for these findings to influence health policies, public awareness, and personal health choices—suggesting that users perceive this publication as having a substantial impact on science and society.
Abstract in brief
- The second scientific statement from The Endocrine Society updates and expands on the 2009 findings, emphasizing that exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) during development can lead to lasting health effects, including in future generations, through gene-environment interactions and epigenetic changes.
- The statement reviews recent high-quality research, mainly from the past five years, on how EDCs are linked to diseases such as obesity, diabetes, reproductive issues, hormone-sensitive cancers, and neurodevelopmental disorders, using both animal and human epidemiological studies.
- Although strong evidence supports these causal links, the authors highlight the need for cautious interpretation due to variability in experimental methods, emphasizing the importance of continued research to better understand EDCs’ impacts on human health.

Physicians and scientists issued a wake-up call in 2009, followed by another in 2015. The EPA has proposed a rule governing PFAS (which will still be very difficult) but opposition says it will cost billions. https://t.co/wYhILxJDCu
"Future research needs to focus on sex differences in endocrine disruption of the brain and to consider both age of exposure and age at assessment in interpreting results." https://t.co/xunnDMPybS

But “correlation is not causation” misses the main point. You don’t perform observational or randomized studies in isolation. @TheEndoSociety Scientific Statement contextualizes the rapidly accumulating evidence to date in animals, tissues & humans. https://t.co/kkXDtmtOnb 3/
