A new study has revealed that there is a clear link between women with cancer and chemical exposure to endocrine-disrupting substances like PFAS and BPA.<\/h2>\n
Women with cancer in their breasts, ovaries, skin, and uterus have significantly higher levels of these chemicals in their bodies, the study found.<\/p>\n
While it does not prove that exposure to chemicals like PFAS (per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances) and phenols (including BPA) led to these cancer diagnoses, it is a strong signal that they may be playing a role and should be studied further.<\/p>\n
