Even in the womb, the child is exposed to chemicals used in the plastic contained in the food industry. U.S. researchers have found that these substances affect the predisposition to obesity in the future. Scientists conducted a study in mice. The results demonstrated that exposure to even very small amounts of the substance contained in the plastic, during fetal development leads to obesity in the future. According to Jerry Heindel, during development of the fetus in the womb is the most sensitive and external influences can help to change the baby tissue and the appearance of a predisposition to obesity. According to WHO, about 400 million people suffer from obesity. The problem of obesity is on a par with the problems of type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Further studies are needed to find out what exactly widespread impact plastic and plastic windows in the houses on the human body, such as plastic products are used in people's daily lives, experts say.
