Every day, people are exposed to a variety of synthetic chemicals through the products they use or the food they eat. For many of these chemicals, the health effects are unknown.

The connection between estrogen and progesterone and breast cancer is well established, says co-author Ruthann Rudel, a toxicologist and research director at Silent Spring Institute. So, we should be extremely cautious about chemicals in products that increase levels of these hormones in the body.
