In the book, Slow Death by Rubber Duck the authors argue that there is no separation between environmental issues and health issues. There is no better example of how true this is than when we discuss the diverse group of toxic chemicals called “endocrine disrupting chemicals.”

These chemicals are literally everywhere in our environment. They are found in our air, food, and water, and they are known to interfere with normal hormone function and cause a variety of health problems in humans and other animal species.

Dr. Tom Zoeller joins the podcast to to discuss what endocrine disrupting chemicals are, and how they disrupt hormone function.
