Impact of tributyltin

Carrying bad eating habits or being a sedentary person are some of the causes of overweight; However, a study of University of California reveals that exposure to some chemicals such as tributyltin Avoid maintaining a healthy weight.

In accordance with Bruce Blumberg, director of research published in Environmental Health Perspectives , exposure to the chemical tributyltin, which is found in plastic called PVC, alters the metabolism and the development of fat cells.

 

Impact of tributyltin

The researchers exposed mice to levels of tributyltin similar to those found in the environment. An increase of fat in the liver, in the body and in genetics was detected when analyzing the organism of the animals.

Bruce Blumberg indicates that exposure to chemicals that alter the hormonal system (endocrine disruptors) damages the development of cells to convert them into fat.

The specialist recommends avoiding extreme exposure to this chemical from birth to puberty to avoid the change in cells; however, this can be very difficult because endocrine disruptors are found in the environment, dust or in foods that have been in contact with pesticides.

 

Get active and avoid being overweight!

The researcher says that although endocrine disruptors are one of the causes of overweight, that does not mean they are used as a pretext to seek a better quality of life.

Therefore, the specialist recommends following a balanced diet plan with organic products, perform some physical activity and avoid the use of plastics to minimize the damage of endocrine disruptors. You can, you just have to focus on your goal to achieve it!
