A number of both natural and manmade substances are thought to cause endocrine disruption, including pharmaceuticals, dioxin and dioxin-like compounds, polychlorinated biphenyls, pesticides, and substances in plastics such as bisphenol A (BPA).
It will only be a matter of time – maybe a decade or two – before the global supply of plant-based drugs, such as cannabis, cocaine and heroin, is eclipsed by the trade in manmade substances designed to mimic, at a far cheaper cost, the effects of intoxicants that grow out of the ground.
No need for aspirin, flower food, or any other manmade substance.
