Publikováno v: American Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition. 5:1-22

Purpose: Phytoestrogens (PE) are weakly estrogenic compounds synthesized in plants, especially in climatic adversity. The endocrine disruptive activity of PEs and some of their human metabolites are of concern as they have been associated with positi

Background: Certain types of hair products are more commonly used by Black women. Studies show hair products contain several endocrine-disrupting chemicals that are associated with adverse health outcomes. As chemical mixtures of endocrine disruptors

Phthalates are widely used as plasticizers. Laboratory-based mechanistic and epidemiological studies suggest that phthalates are detrimental to human health. Here, we present prospective analyses on phthalate exposure and all-cause, as well as cause-
