A pioneering study conducted at the Duke University in North Carolina sowed that even very small amounts of household dust contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that can intefere with the body’s hormones and lead to weight gain.
Scientists applied the dust particles to mouse cells and found that amounts as small as 3 micrograms caused measurable effects. Despite the dangers of the EDCs, these synthetic or natural compounds are ubiquitous. One way to avoid them would be to try to keep our homes as clean as possible.
