In modern times, an increase in chemical production has led to widespread environmental chemical contamination that can
affect normal hormone function in those exposed, particularly in vulnerable populations, such as children and pregnant women.
Soy and alfalfa are commonly included in feeds for many herbivorous animals under human care, however these diets have high levels of phytoestrogens that disrupt
normal hormone functions in some species.
Glyphosate's ability to inflame cellular membranes and
block normal hormone function also promotes the accumulation of fat, leading to unhealthy weight gain and obesity.
Soy contains phytoestrogens which can adversely
affect normal hormone function, particularly in development, and is one of the most genetically modified foods in existence.
Hormonal contraceptives, by their nature, work to alter
the normal hormone function of the body in order to prevent pregnancy.
