CBS News-Endocrine disruptors causing obesity and diabetes
CBS News interviews Dr. Trasande, a pediatrician at NYU about his new book. He said endocrine disrupting chemicals including pesticides are one of the major reasons children on playgrounds are fatter now than they were 40 years ago. He says that we should not gamble with our health, and preventing exposure to these chemicals is much easier than changing diet and exercise regimes. He likened our knowledge about these chemicals now to that of lead and tobacco decades earlier.
