The Connection Between Food Toxicology and Lifestyle Disorders a literature review

Manisha Mehta

Around 39% of the adult world population is overweight and 13 % are obese (WHO). One of the major reasons for this (As per Harvard Researchers) is certain food toxins responsible for increasing “crave ability” of junk food. Another study suggests the presence of certain chemical obesogens which disrupt the leptin and ghrelin (appetite hormones) also affect the size of adipocytes. Prevalence of polycystic ovarian syndrome is claimed to be varying between 6-10% in various studies including the major ones from National institute of Health (NIN), Rotterdam and Androgen excess society.
