I’ve said it on this site many times: Our ability to test for side effects does not match our technical ability to produce things. We always find out decades later what our chemicals really do. Add this to the list.

Some of those chemicals can mimic estrogen during development, which can lead to weight gain later in life. Others can spur unnecessary fat-cell formation at any age.
