ONE OF THE REASONS IS OBESITY
Toxic chemicals that have a negative effect on the hormonal system and cause weight gain are called ‘obesity’. Obese people lead to obesity in many ways. Like estrogens, they act by increasing fat cells, slowing down metabolism; disrupting the mechanisms of hunger and satiety, inhibiting thyroid function; creating insulin resistance or destroying the pancreas. Pesticides, phthalates, bisphenols, heavy metals, PCBs, cigarette smoke, air pollution are defined as obese agents. Environmental pollution increases the problem of obesity. Babies, children, pregnant women and the elderly are much more sensitive to obese chemicals.

Fructose-rich corn syrup has become widely used in food and beverages. Salt consumption, animal protein and fat, vegetable oil, trans fat and margarine consumption increased with ready and semi-ready foods. Calorie and fat restriction has an transfer positive effect on extending life. Liquid calories can not satisfy the feeling of hunger, as they do not contain fiber. Juices and sugary drinks are among the important causes of obesity. The thicker your waist and neck, the shorter your life span.
