Synopsis

This book explores the risks associated with hormone disruptors, particularly in relation to breast and prostate cancer. In Malaysia, the likelihood of being diagnosed with breast cancer is 1 in 20, with lifestyle factors playing a significant role. Modern conveniences expose us to processed foods and manufactured products that can disrupt natural hormones. These endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), whether encountered accidentally or through work, can lead to serious health consequences over time. Readers will learn how exposure occurs, its harmful effects, and how to make healthier choices to mitigate these risks.
