Environmental hormones can pose various health risks, even leading to cancer and tumor growth. Dr. Li Tangyue, director of Kaohsiung Chu Ri Clinic, warns that environmental hormones are often hidden in common items like mattresses, sofas, food, skincare products, canned goods, and plastic products, advising people to wash new clothes before wearing them. These toxins include brominated flame retardants in furniture, PFAs in cookware and packaging, parabens in food, BPA in canned goods, phthalates in plastic products, and dioxins released during burning plastic waste. To avoid these toxins, it is suggested to use glass instead of plastic, avoid heating food in plastic, choose plastic products labeled 1, 2, or 5, reduce consumption of canned and processed foods, eat vitamin-rich foods, drink water, consume green leafy vegetables, minimize skin contact with toxins, and wash new clothes before wearing them.
