Common plastic additive linked to fertility problems
A study published in the journal PLOS Genetics found that exposure to the plastic additive diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) could cause fertility problems. Led by Harvard Medical School researchers, the study showed that DEHP increases breaks in the DNA during egg production and impairs cells’ ability to repair these breaks. How common plastic additive affects fertility DEHP belongs to a family […]

Surveys conducted across the United States suggest that one in every 68 children is now on the autism spectrum. While genetics plays a role in autism risk, several studies have also found a link between autism […]

Animals get stressed out, too: They “remodel” their bodies to deal with it, says study
Researchers have known that certain animals adapt to environmental stress by altering their entire body to a form more suitable for the situation. They identified a protein in a species of roundworm that triggers this physiological remodeling. The stress-activated protein has analogues in the human body that are associated with diseases, such as metastatic cancer. Like humans, […]

We’re STILL haunted by DDT – new study says it causes autism
When the evidence that DDT was harmful could no longer be ignored, the use of the chemical was banned completely in 1972.
