Fake fragrances are a problem. Besides watery eyes and headaches, certain chemicals in artificial fragrances can cause serious health problems. Unfortunately, the problem of fake fragrances is only one part of a much larger problem afflicting our society today: endocrine disrupting chemicals, or EDC's. The introduction of these EDC's has been linked to increases in several incommunicable diseases, such as autism, ADHD, diabetes, and reproductive issues. Our goal is to fight back against these harmful EDC's by spreading awareness about their impact. Everything you need to know about exposure to EDC's and how to prevent them can be found on this site, in addition to links that dive deep into the science of it all.  

The endocrine system is an organ system comprised of the pituitary gland, the adrenal gland, the thyroid, the ovaries in women, and the testes in men. The endocrine system releases hormones, a large group of chemicals that control and signal the processes that occur in our body. These processes range from our appetite to our mood to our libido to our growth. The important part is that these hormones are secreted in minute quantities. Therefore, disrupting them with even the tiniest amount of EDC's can have profound consequences. EDC's, which can either mimic or block these hormones, can easily impact your body. Imagine an immense orchestra controlled by a conductor. If the conductor is giving the wrong signals, the orchestra can't play.
