THE GREAT INVASION ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS Bisphenol A are present in the plastic wares we used in our daily lives. Phalates has more effects on male caused phalates syndrome on males. PBDE presents in dust affecting not only children but also adults. Efforts were done to investigate how effects of Bisphenol A, phalates and the difference in urine of people exposing chemicals or people who grow their own foods and have not expose to those chemicals before. These chemicals are not persistant.
Everything we living with may has the contents of these endocrine disruptors that mimicking estrogen are affecting our health yet we are so much exposing to it nowadays. Especially embryo and children who are in their developing phase.
BBS THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF HORMONES with Dr Jones Wass The history of discovering how hormones affect whole human body is interesting as it happens in the ancient times that people are still innocent about hormones. The key deduction was that whatever effects were happening were happening through the blood. This starts with observation due to action of the male sex hormone testosterone that has brought so much changes on a man. No one has the idea that chemicals alone can have such dramatic effects on the whole body. Also then they came to the curiosity of the extraordinary tall man who scientist studies about his skeleton especially his brain found is the pituitary glands and pituitary fossa in his skull was extra huge that produces excessive growth hormone cause his height so tall.
THE GREAT INVASION ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS BPA,phalates and PBDE are among the endocrine disruptors that found in our daily lifes due to advancement of household materials. They are not persistant yet possess large effect to human health and affect us from the inside out.
Hence, effort needed in avoiding the exposure of these chemicals as they are actually avoidable by a careful choose of household material used.
BBS THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF HORMONES with Dr Jones Wass Since hormone is the main component that regulates many of our body mechanisms, it is important to have the knowledge about hormones. In many cases, chemicals mimicking hormones in our body does not kill instantly, but alter the internal regulation which lead to a change in physical appearance.
The Endocrine Destruptor such as BPA,phalates etc that found in household products: plastic bottles and shampoo have very significant impacts to human life which can harm the health of human.
Bbs fanstastic world of hormones showed that hormone is very crutial in our body. It plays an important role in regulate the mechanism process in the body. For example, the height of a person.
THE GREAT INVASION ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS Bisphenol-A (BPA), phalates and PBDE have the regrettable habit of invading our hormonal intimacy.They are endocrine disruptors that can be found in the household materials. They are encrusted in plastic, in detergents, in toys, and in shampoo. Actually, they have invaded everything, including our bodies.Therefore, mitigation measures are needed as we human nowadays are too much exposed to these chemicals that may affect our health.
BBS THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF HORMONES with Dr Jones Wass In the video, Professor John Wass tells the fascinating story of hormones.He said that hormones are a crucial part about biology. Hormone is important in our body mechanisms. It is quite interesting to know more details and gain more knowledge about the hormones. Hormones are a vital part of what makes us human, even affecting how we behave and feel. Not only that, hormones affect our height, our weight, our appetites and how we grow and reproduce.
THE GREAT INVASION – DOCUMENTARY ON ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS Endocrine disruptors tend to interfere with the body’s endocrine system that produces, regulates and deals with the bodies many hormones like estrogen, testosterone, thyroid and so on. Endocrine disruptors such as bisphenol-A, phthalates and PBDE can be found in everyday life. They are commonly present in cosmetics, computers, refrigerators, detergents, microwaves, sprays and so on. Endocrine disruptors are able to cause negative effects depending on timing, dose and who is being exposed to. The negative effects include diabetes, breast cancer, testis cancer and others. In order to prevent this to happen, people are recommended to eat unprocessed food, buy a wooden toy instead of plastic toy, never microwaving anything in plastics and so on. The exposure routes of endocrine disruptors are hard to control, therefore the society must have the determination to change their own lifestyles and also choose the best one for themselves.
BBC THE FANTASTICAL WORLD OF HORMONES Endocrinol system is important to secrete hormones that help to regulate the body’s growth, metabolism and sexual development and function. Hormones such as insulin, estrogen, testosterone, and others play the role to act on its target cell and thus perform a specific task. The deficiency or overproduction of hormones may lead to different changes on humans. For examples, Farinelli, the musical star was castrated before puberty in order to maintain the purity of his voice. Castration caused the elimination of testosterone and thus leads to the change of his physical appearances such as long arms, long legs, enormous chest and others. Besides that, Chris Krina, one of the Britain’s tallest man suffering from gigantism. Gigantism is caused by overproduction of growth hormone by the pituitary gland. The common symptoms include very large hands and feet, thick toes and fingers and others. It is important to know that the pituitary gland is important to make hormones that control many functions in the human body and every hormone has a different molecular structure but what unites them is how they work.
THE GREAT INVASION – DOCUMENTARY ON ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS Endocrine disruptors may be synthetic or natural in origin and are used in a wide range of products and materials, from cosmetics and plastics to pesticides and industrial solvents. Without our realization, things that we use everyday and make our lives easier have its negative site like affecting our endocrine system in our body. For my opinion, more studies need to be done in order to solve these problem and everyone should aware about the disadvantages of bisphenol-A, phthalates,DDT and PBDE .
BBC THE FANTASTICAL WORLD OF HORMONES Based on this videos, it shows that hormone is very important to human as it play major role in the body.Insulin, estrogen, testosterone are examples of hormone in the body. Hormones are chemical messengers that are secreted directly into the blood. Interestingly, there are many facts of hormone that we dont realize like singer Farinelli in the video was castrated before puberty just t maintain his beautiful voice. It is important for everyone to understand how important hormone in our body as hormone is one of the component that regulates many of human body mechanisms like regulate the body's metabolism, reproduction, growth and also sleep.
THE GREAT INVASION – DOCUMENTARY ON ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS The video introduces endocrine disruptors, which are substances that disrupt the endocrine system and interfere with the function of hormones. BPA, phthalates and PBDE are talked about, which are substances that can harm the reproductive system, cause cancer, developmental problems and so on. Certain endocrine disruptors can be especially dangerous because they are used in everyday products, however their effects are not known to most people. Besides that, chemicals can be harmless at low doses, but a combination of chemicals can cause harm even at low doses. Therefore, measures have to be taken to ensure that the use of endocrine disruptors are restricted, and more people are aware of their sources and effects.
BBC THE FANTASTICAL WORLD OF HORMONES In the video, hormones are introduced as chemicals that affect many of our body's functions and are fundamental to making us who we are. Hormones control various things in our body, for example, a tumour in the pituitary gland can cause over secretion of growth hormones that causes abnormally large growth. Besides that, insulin, which is a very well known hormone, controls our sugar level, and the lack of it can lead to diabetes. Hormones are a very important part of our body, and the understanding of them can lead to a much better understanding of how our body works.
1.THE GREAT INVASION ENDOCRINE DISRUPTOR Bisphenol-A(BPA),phalates and PBDE are the examples of endocrine disruptors that exist in our daily life which brings effect especially to our human health. Besides that, these endocrine disruptors can be found in large amounts in household products especially plastics nowadays. Many of researches and study had been done on the impact and effect of endocrine disruptors on human health. So, an effective mitigation measures were needed in order to minimize the risk of endocrine disruptors to human health and also environment. Attention should be given to pregnant women in delivering future generation in these endocrine disruptors.
2.BBS THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF HORMONES BY PROF JONES WASS Through Prof John Wass video, he has said that hormones is essential in controlling our body mechanisms and emotions in daily life. He also said that study of hormone is interesting personal journey in our body system which it is most complicated system and it affects all of us in this world. The better understand hormones system is through understanding better about ourself through our height, weight, growing up process etc.For example, study of sex hormone in male brings effect from boy to man along his puberty and this question completely buffer people in the world. An experiment on chicken also being done to study the effect of hormone and this mainly from blood. There are different types of hormone with every single different molecules to particular target cells can be found. For example, stress hormone. There are also many research done in order to investigate the hormone systems. In Prof John Wass video, Prof. Sadaf said that fat can make hormone, circulate in bloodstream and brain to control our weight.
THE GREAT INVASION ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS BPA, phthalates and PBDE are the chemical that are visible and mainly use in our life. The effect of this chemical was late to be known as the product keep producing but the research on that is slow. There are using this chemical without knowing the effect in long term. For example the DDT is used as pesticide to kill the insect but the effect can cause to other animal and human. The exposure and outcome from BPA are not recognize yet as it present in our surrounding. This effect the human since during development of the baby as we already exposed to it. Other than that, it also increase the weight gain of human and animal. As researcher already do the research among the rodent. The effect in phthalates also almost same with BPA. Phthalates found in deterget, hospital equipment, balloon and perfume. PBDE generally found in laptop, iron, furniture, car batteries and tent. This chemical rapidly growth in 1970-2000. PBDE comes from dust, haze and car dust. It affect in brain development as it will lowering our IQ and memory. Other than that, it also cause testis cancer, low fertility, miscarriage, and behaviour disorder. From this three chemical, it shows that we are using it in our daily life and to avoid from using it was difficult. So, we can try to avoid using it frequently and try to find other alternative.
BBS THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF HORMONES with Dr Jonnes Wass In this video, Dr Jonnes was describing the history of hormone and how it work in our body. All of this related to the blood as it flow throughout the body. Dr brown have done a research on Injection of testicular liquid into the body. Surprisely, 3 main ingredient which is blood of testicular vein, semen and juice extracted from testical are crush immediately after it been taken from dog or pig and being injected to itself . This cause main issue at that time. The fibroid cannot simply put it into our body as it can effect us. Therefore, there are researcher have done a research on fibroid gland which cut it into small pieces and make it as a pink fibroid juice. Using sheep fibroid into the patient and the benefit is in short term , the patient are less pale and improve the energy to do a household work. It was a successful experiment but the effect for this is that her hand and feet increase in size and became alter in shape. There also have a device called artriometer. It is used to measure the diameter of the artery. Hormone is stimulate in different condition. If we are feeling stress , it was a stress hormone that work in our body. If we are preparing of exercise, the adrenaline will use. Hormone also occur in a bonding process called oxytoxin. Amine, peptide and steroid each of its have different molecular structure but what is unite them it how they work . Each hormone have a target of particular cell , each hormone flow a bloodstream passing through a billion of cell and it will affect when it match to the target. Overproduction of growth hormone in pituitary gland was not normal . It growth like a tumour in that gland which cause of gigantism. When a person cannot produce Insulin it cause to diabetes . As the function of insulin is to control the sugar level.

Name: Nurul Fatiah Bt Abdul Aziz Matrics Number: Bs14110694 Topic: The Great invasion of Endocrine Disruptors
During the post world war the invention and alteration of petroleum molecules into fabrics, toothbrush, insecticide, cosmetics and countless invention but the lack of knowledge or indication of the chemicals these inventions carry has brought upon many adverse effects. There are about 80,000 to 85,000 chemicals in the market today while the human body contains at least 200 chemicals. Many of these chemicals we deem to be innocent until it was proven otherwise. There are many bodily indications to measure chemicals in the human body such as from the urine, blood, amniotic fluid, breast milk and many more. People are encouraged to read about things that are possible endocrine disruptors, which alter the hormones in the body. Hormones the fundamental that makes us who we are, it plays a big role in role in our development and character. Scientist has used animal testing over the years and the side effects of these endocrine disruptors are surprising. Many epidemics are common nowadays such as low testosterone amongst male and one out of seven women develop breast cancer. Some chemicals adverse effect took years to study, it even took lead two years to discover its adverse effects. One common concern that begun with the industrial age, is the castration epidemiology. The study of thyroid hormone from researchers was the key to the cure that comes without a proper functioning thyroid, a disease such as myxoedema. It’s amazing how something as minute/small as the pituitary gland in the human brain can play such a big role in the human body such as growth and hormone levels. Even as researches study the pancreases and one of its vital hormones the insulin, which serves as a cure for diabetes that is widely used in these modern age and time. Surprisingly even the fats in our body play a role in producing hormones, lectin which plays a role in controlling appetite and body weight. The study of chemical messenger and secretion is the final piece of the jigsaw puzzle. Thus, the basic knowledge of hormone and how endocrine disruptors plays a role in our everyday life are vital, because it is a common epidemic that is almost impossible to escape in this time of day.
Chemicals are created and produced for human needs that is invisible but everywhere. Chemicals such as Bisphenol A, phathalates and PBDE are examples of endocrine disruptors. Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that may interfere with the body’s endocrine system and produce adverse developmental, reproductive, neurological, and immune effects in both humans and wildlife. It can interfere from one organ to the other. Exposure of endocrine disruptors bring negative effects to human body for example, bisphenol A will have high chances of breast cancer, baby hyperactivity, learning defect and infertility, while phathalates will cause feminisation and PBDE will causes obesity and children lost IQ point and memory. Therefore, it is important to understand the mixture of the chemicals and the effects towards humane because the combination of chemicals might bring to a huge effects even thought it is only in small dose.
BBC The Fantastical World of Hormones with Dr John Wass.
Hormones is something special that can shape each and everyone of us. It can affects almost every part of our body. In this video, Dr John Wass shared about his knowledge on hormones and the wonderful story on how he discovered about hormones. Firstly, he shared about one of the greatest castrato opera singer in the 18th century. The castrato opera singers named Farinelli. Due to castration, Farinelli preserved his prepubescent voice and didn’t achieve puberty because without testes and male hormone testosterone. From this video, we can understand how hormones evolved over time and the influences of hormones to the human.
The Great Invasion - Documentary on endocrine disruptors: DDT and parabens is a toxicology and it toxicates us everyday. In our ordinary everyday lives are full with chemical that escapes from the surrounding object, some have a special characteristics. Have a high decaying of hormonal intendency, blocking out hormones or emitting them thus effecting them, they are all endocrine disruptors. Chemical that interfers with body that effect the system that produces, regulates and deals with the body. Example of hormones like estrogens, testrogens and thyroid.
BBC The Fantastical World of Hormones: Hormones is a fundamental to makes who we are. Hormones are the crucial part of our biology. Every single hormones, have it own molecular structure. Each hormone, have it own target cell. Each hormones flow to the blood stream passing over billions of cells. But they only have desire of fact that when they reach the right one and matches its specific molecular structure. Hormones only works at specific cell. When the hormones act on the target cell it can charge the way it behave to perform specific task. For example, when adrenaline reaches the heart, it makes it beat faster. Each hormones has its own unique role. Hormones have many different actions and have many different time scale of act. For example, adrenaline only have affect to the heart only for a few minutes.
THE GREAT INVASION – DOCUMENTARY ON ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS Bisphenol-A, phthalates, DDT and more are examples of endocrine disrupotors that could affect our body health and these chemicals are present almost everywhere in our daily lives. They are commonly found in plastic toys, sprays, household products such as detergents, electronics such as refrigerators and microwave and many more. Exposure to these endocrine disruptors can heavily damage human health as they are carcinogenic and may cause diseases such as diabetes. However, it is depending on the time, dose and the exposed individual. Since these endocrine disruptors are hard to avoid as we encounter them everyday, people should be aware of its danger and change their lifestyle to reduce the exposure to these chemicals. For example, we should avoid eating processed food and we should not microwave anything with plastics and so on. Moreover, studies on endocrine disruptors should be done to find alternatives in order to avoid being exposed too much on these chemicals. BBC THE FANTASTICAL WORLD OF HORMONES As we grow, our bodies are regulated by hormones. Therefore, the endocrinol system is one of the vital systems in our bodies. However, hormones in our body must have a suitable level or else it may lead to unusual changes to our bodies. For example, the overproduction of growth hormone may cause gigantism just like Chris Krina, which is one of Britain’s tallest man. It is important for us to know that hormones, which their production is controlled by pituitary gland, are crucial in our body and the right type of hormone at the right level helps us to be a normal individual.

The Great Invasion Endocrine Disruptors Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that may interfere with the production or activity of hormones in the human endocrine system.Endocrine disruptors include dioxins, PCBs, DDT, and some other pesticides.Suspected endocrine disruptors include phytoestrogens and fungal estrogens, the herbicide atrazine, phenols such as bisphenol A (BPA), and plasticizers such as phthalates.Endocrine disruptors can be exposed by breathing, eating, drinking, or touching. Therefore, to reduce endocrine disruptors to be exposing we are encourage to use the substances that free from the chemicals that can harm human health.
BBC The Fantastic World Of Hormones Hormones is not just related to emotional and sexual impulses.According to John Wass who is expert in hormones said hormones has it significant in many scientific breakthrough and medical treatments as hormones is special chemical messenger in body that created in the endocrine glands.
The Great Invasion Endocrine Disruptors: Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that may interfere with the body’s endocrine system and produce adverse developmental, reproductive, neurological, and immune effects in both humans and wildlife. A wide range of substances, both natural and man-made, are thought to cause endocrine disruption, including pharmaceuticals, dioxin and dioxin-like compounds, polychlorinated biphenyls, DDT and other pesticides, and plasticizers such as bisphenol A. Endocrine disruptors may be found in many everyday products– including plastic bottles, metal food cans, detergents, flame retardants, food, toys, cosmetics, and pesticides.Research shows that endocrine disruptors may pose the greatest risk during prenatal and early postnatal development when organ and neural systems are forming. Hormones are measuureable bu we cannot see it.
BBC The Fantastic World Of Hormones: Hormones are powerful. It takes only a tiny amount to cause big changes in cells or even your whole body. That is why too much or too little of a certain hormone can be serious. Laboratory tests can measure the hormone levels in your blood, urine, or saliva.Hormones can cause dramatically changes with our body since there are many types of hormones in our blood.
The Great Invasion - Documentary on endocrine disruptors This video reveals the use of chemicals in various products such as plastics, cosmetics and etc and they act as hormone disruptors to interfere with the endocrine system of our bodies. For examples, bisphenol-A and phthalates which can be found in many plastic products. DDT is also used to control insects in the form of pesticides. However, all these chemicals cause harmful effects to humans. This can be proven by testing in animals such as mices and their fetuses. It is shown that exposure to these endocrine disruptors can interfere the hormone secretion (estrogen, testosterone,etc) and endocrine system,resulting in higher risk of having cancers and affect the reproductive development.Thus,control use of the chemicals is important to protect our health in the future.
BBS THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF HORMONES In this video, Dr Jones Wass explained the previous findings of hormones and their incredible effects to humans. Hormones act as target cell in controlling the body's functions. Amount of production of hormones can cause different effects in our bodies. For examples, Farinelli was castrated to have pure voice but caused to low production of testosterone and the tallest man in Britain suffers over growth of his height due to extra large pituitary glands. Besides,hormones which are extracted from animals are proven that they can be used to cure various diseases. For examples, insulin from animals to cure diabetes. Leptin hormone is also discovered to control obesity by supressing appetite. These findings show that hormones play important roles to control our body activities.
1 The first video introduces endocrine disruptors are the chemicals that can interfere with hormone systems at certain doses. Both natural and man-made substances like BPA, phthalates, DDT, PBDE and some pesticides can bring health risk. Endocrine disruptors are used in everyday products like plastic bottles, detergents and so on. We should be aware of its danger and change our lifestyle to use the substances that free from the chemicals like endocrine disruptors.
2 The second videos introduces hormone is a chemical substance which produced in the body, controls and regulates the activity of certain cells or organs. For example, estrogen assists with the menstrual cycle and plays a role in pregnancy. When hormones are in proper balance, they help the body thrive, but small problems with hormones can cause serious and life-altering symptoms
The Great Invasion Endocrine Disruptors: The endocrine disruptors are found in any synthetic chemical that used in industrial, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) from pesticides and bisphenol A (BPA) from plastics. These include polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), and Dixons. An endocrine-disrupting substance a compound, either natural or synthetic which through environmental or inappropriate developmental exposures alters the hormonal and homeostatic systems that enable the organism to communicate with and respond to its environment where we cannot see it. Therefore, the effect can be at sexually dimorphic behaviors, reproduction and neurodevelopment. As conclusion, endocrine disruptors will release mimic a natural hormone and lock onto a receptor with in the cell.
BBC The Fantastic World of Hormones: Hormones were the fundamental that making who we are in the real life and also the most powerful one. It became remark by themselves and it full of unexpected. This documentary falls short in explaining the science behind hormones. He also studies about male hormones and how the hormone develops into their body. He also chooses to focus primarily on testosterone, rather than the variety of structures, functions, and origins that characterize the hormone spectrum. Therefore hormone can be measure and dramatically change by flow at the blood stream. SHAFIZAH BINTI JOHNNY BS14161037
Endocrine disruptors play a vital role on our bodies as it is increasing production of certain hormones as well as decreasing production of others, imitating hormones, turning one hormone into another, interfering with hormone signaling, telling cells to die prematurely, competing with essential nutrients, binding to essential hormones and accumulating in organs that produce hormones.An example of endocrine disruptor is BPA. BPA has been linked to everything from breast and others cancers to reproductive problems, obesity, early puberty and heart disease. Therefore, we should avoid from using materials that containing BPA. Avoid consume food in cans because many food in cans are lined with BPA. Next, it is good not to use receipts, since thermal paper is often coated with BPA. In addition, it is important to avoid plastics marked with a "PC" since it contain BPA.
BBC The Fantastic World of Hormones:
Hormones are the chemical substance that produced in our body. It controls and regulates the activity of certain cells or organs in the body. Many hormones are secreted by special glands, such as thyroid hormone produced by the thyroid gland. In addition, hormones are essential for every activity of life, including the processes of digestion, metabolism, growth, reproduction and mood control. According to Prof. Jones Wass (in the video above) hormones are the crucial part of biology. It is interesting to learn about hormones as it can control our daily activities as well as the emotions.
1.THE GREAT INVASION ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS: Endocrine disruptors are chemicals known to interfere with development and reproduction. They may cause serious neurological and immune system effects. Chemicals such as Bisphenol-A (BPA), phthalates and PBDE are examples of endocrine disruptors that found in our daily life. They are found in various materials such as pesticides, personal care products, detergents and refrigerators. The pioneer scientists taking part in this documentary said that the from breast cancer to obesity, this chemical invasion is closely tied up with the diseases of modern society.

In this video, the effects of using chemicals which will affect the endocrine system is focused. Over the centuries, various types of chemicals have been developed by human for daily uses products. Some of the examples of products that contain chemicals are cosmetic products, detergents, pesticides, toys and many more. The most common chemicals that contain in these products are Bisphenol A, phathalates and PBDE, they are also known as endocrine disruptors. Endocrine disruotprs are chemicals known to interfere with development and reproduction, and they may cause serious neurological and immune system effects. Some of these chemicals are known as carcinogenic which means they can cause cancer. The over dependent or over usage of these products that contain such harmful chemicals can cause cancer in human body, the reproductive system will be affected and the developmental problems will occur. As mentioned in this video, some chemicals are harmless if the dosage is low, however, negative effects or harmful effect may occur with a combination of chemicals even if they are use at low dosage. The human can be exposed to endocrine distruptors in various ways, for example through touching, breathing and eating. In a nutshell, the use of endocrine disruptors are needed to be monitored and restricted by professionals. Harmless chemicals are needed to be discovered by the researchers to replace these endocrine disruptors as substitutes in all the related products.
BBC The Fantastical World of Hormones with Dr John Wass
Dr John Wass shared his amazing knowledge and interesting facts about hormones in this video. Hormones are regulated by the endocrine system in our human body. From the past centuries, there are a number of scientists did some research in the study of hormones. Hormones plays a great role in our human body. The slight change of the hormone can lead to obvious change in physical, chemical and biological change in human body. Some of the example of hormone mentioned in this video is laptin hormone. This is a hormone that control or affect the obesity in a human body. The more secretion of laptin hormone by the fats in human body, the person will be more obese. The over secretion of growth hormone by the pituitary gland due to growth of tumour can cause gigantism. Besides that, insulin is one of the hormone that control the sugar level of human body. The imbalance of the insulin supplied in human body can lead to diabetes. Hormones are very closely related to our human body however there are only hundreds of hormones been discovered. Dr John Wass believed that there are still more hormones to be discovered and this will bring great help in the medical field.

The effect of this chemical was late to be known as the product keep producing but the research on that is slow. Over the centuries, various types of chemicals have been developed by human for daily uses products. The Bisphenol A are present in the plastic wares. Phalates can encourage the occurance of phalates syndrome on males. Children and adults are exposed to PBDE in form of dust. Then an effective preventing measures were needed in order to minimize the risk of endocrine disruptors to human health and also environment. The endocrine disruptors that mimicking estrogen are affecting our health (especially embryo and children) yet we are so much when we exposing to it nowadays.

The Great Invasion Endocrine Disruptor Our everyday lives are full of chemicals which are escaped from surrounding objects and some have special characteristic which are they are capable of hijacking our hormonal intimacy and blocking our hormones or imitating them and affecting their levels, and this is called endocrine disruptors. Endocrine disruptors will interfere with the bodies system, where the system produces, regulates and deals with the bodies hormones. These phthalates, brominated flame retardants, parabens, bisphenol-a, all have the regrettable habit of invading our hormonal intimacy and they are the endocrine disruptors. We should be careful when using plastic products, eat unprocessed food and never microwaving anything in plastic. Besides, there is also websites that have lists of cosmetics products, lotions etc that stated which products are low in kind of chemicals that are endocrine disrupting chemicals. We should also read as much as we can or get more information about the food we eat, the products we used to avoid getting in touch with endocrine disruptors.
BBC The Fantastical World of Hormones Based on this video, we can know that hormones control everything in our body. By understanding hormone system is also having a closer look to us and also our characteristics. Dr John Wass has shared his knowledge of understanding hormones and what has he discovered about hormones. And as conclusion, hormones are so important in regulating the mechanism process in our body and it also will affect us physically.
THE GREAT INVASION Dokumentari yang menceritakan mengenai pencemaran khususnya terjadi akibat aktiviti manusia sebagai contoh pembuatan melalui minyak boleh menghasilkan pelbagai jenis peralatan yang diguna oleh manusia bagi kesenangan masing-masing. Namun demikian mereka tidak tahu akan kesan-kesannya terhadap alam sekitar serta kesihatan mereka. Malah, bahan kimia tersebut secara tidak sedar boleh terakumulasi di dalam manusia secara diam-diam justeru berpotensi besar memberi kesan seperti penyakit kanser dan penyakit-penyakit ini juga muncul disebabkan ianya genetik atau melalui persekitaran.
THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF HORMONES Professor Endocrinology, John Ross menjelaskan bahawa hormon memainkan peranan penting dalam tubuh badan manusia. Ianya boleh membentuk personaliti seseorang, perasaan serta minat terhadap sesuatu serta memberi perbezaan ciri-ciri perempuan serta lelaki.Hormon juga banyak digunakan dalam perubatan. Sebagai contoh adalah insulin di mana ianya mengubati penyakit diabetes. pesakit yang mengalami penyakit ini sukar untuk hidup kerana gula dalam badan sekaligus keluar melalui kencing dan mereka sukar untuk mendapatkan tenaga pada badan mereka. pankreas merupakan organ yang diujikaji dalam video tersebut dengan menjelaskan proses insulin berlaku. selain dari itu juga, leptin di ceritakan di dalam video di mana ianya berkaitan dengan selera makan seseorang dan gen dalam badan menganggu perangsangan otak untuk bertindak balas samada kenyang ataupun tidak.
The great invasion endocrine disruptor Human daily life are full of chemicals which are escaping from substances. Some of them have special characteristics, which are capable blocking our hormone and affecting their level, they are called endocrine disruptor/ endocrine disrupting chemical. Endocrine disrupting chemical are chemical interfere with hormone in body endocrine system. Examples of endocrine disruptor are Bisphenol A (found in plastics bottle), phthalates (found in plastics bottle), and PBDE. Exposure to endocrine disruptors during pregnancy will bring effect to baby when they grow up in future, such as hyperactivity, learning defects, weight gain and effect to reproductive system.
BBC THE FANTASTICAL WORLD OF HORMONES Hormone is an important factor in running and regulating our bodies although it is invisible. Hormones do not relate only to emotional and sexual impulses. They are involved in our everyday occurrence, awakening, and development. Whether referring to our metabolism and appetite, or our emotional reactions to stimuli, or how we behave from situation to situation, hormones are involved in the performance. As a leading expert in the study of hormones, John Wass explains the true definition and involvement of the hormones in all of our daily operations. He explains, in more basic terms, the hormone's involvement in our cell stimulation and development. Beyond these personal connections, however, Wass also delves into the importance of the hormone in many scientific breakthroughs and medical treatments, including but not limited to the current, hot topic of obesity and the curing of this epidemic.
THE GRADE INVATION ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS Substance are utilized to create current world. Based on the video, chemical invisible but it is everywhere including inside our bodies. Endocrine disruptors might be found in numerous ordinary items including plastic jugs, metal nourishment jars, cleansers, fire retardants, sustenance, toys, beauty care products, and pesticides. DDT are utilized to murder the bugs and world create awful item. The substance in our bodies, for example, in urine, blood, in amniotic liquid of pregnant lady, and in line blood. DDT atrazine associates frame a parabens, polybrominated, diphenyl ether. The endocrine disruptors is a compound that meddles with bodies endocrine framework. Along these lines, framework creates, directs, and manages numerous hormones like estrogen, and testosterone. Unfriendly impacts for people presented to generally high convergences of specific contaminants. Be that as it may, whether such impacts are happening in the human populace everywhere at focuses introduce in the surrounding environment, drinking water, and sustenance stays vague. Other than that, when concoction come in body, it can empower the pathway and when it not working can bring about more fat cells. While, amid improvement, fat cells being made that impact is really perpetual. Actually, endocrine disruptors are really animating the pathway to make undifferentiated organisms get to be distinctly fat cells. Along these lines, we can infer that more fat cells have a tendency to topped off with fat.
BBS THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF HORMONES Hormone can control everything in our body. It is vital piece of science and before we comprehend them, better comprehend ourselves. Based on the video, endocrinal hormone framework is one of the essential factors in running and controlling our bodies. Hormone likewise can be utilized to cure up and crippling and horific ailment. Endocrinology and thyroid organ are centered around disarranges known as blend edema and critism which leave endure in physically and rationally. The sickness that can be cause by the hormone are victorian sensors. The ailment is totally sensible. Other than that, diabetes in pancreases are recognized as wellspring of raising glucose levels. While, the patient's powerlessness to deliver leptin can descend to their pants and after that, hormone leptin utilize hereditary qualities to take a gander at DNA of patient lastly had a change hormone leptin and cause their inclination to pick up. We can reason that, there are a great deal of impact that cause by hormone in our body.
Bisphenol-A , DDT, Paraben, Phthalates, PBDE are the chemical that cause endocrine distruptors to human and animals. Around 85000 chemical are in commerce today and it surrounding us. It will cause the endocrine distruptors without we realize it because it happen silently. Endocrine distruptors capable to hack our hormone and effecting their original function. For example, endocrine distruptor take over the mechanism by blocking testosterone action and it cause interfere. Next, endocrine distruptors we can find in plastic.
Rapid uses of plastic because of it’s attractiveness, usefulness and it’s low cost. Then, from study that conducted found that more than 92% urine of American people correspond to contain Bisphenol-A. Bisphenol-A can be found in baby bottles, tupperwar, toys, cosmetic, etc and this kind of thing we always use them in our daily life. From this video, mice was use to investigate the effect from the endocrine distruptors. Effect from Bisphenol-A can caused obesity and cancer. Next, desease cause from two factor. Genetic and environment. Environment factors are chemical exposure, nutrition, drug, stress and infections. This infection easy to get during our development phase and exposure depend on timing, doses and depend on who’s being exposed.
In this video show, exposure of high exposure of Phthalates to boys make that boys less male typical characteristic. For example, their penis and testicles become smaller. Next, endocrine distruptor will effect to human brain and causing dsylexia or memory and attention disorders in children. After that, exposure to PBDE will effect the breast milk to women. It major routes, PBDE present in dust. Next, effect from endocrine distruptors, it caused obesity and cancer and it’s happen because of mixture of chemical that human exposes. For example, in men, it caused testis cancer and prostate cancer usually. While for women, usually it will caused breast cancer, polycystic ovary syndrome, miscarriages and fertility problems. Other than that, it willl cause cardiovascular diseases, immune system alterations, athma, thyroid problem and behavior disorders.
As a conclusion, to reduce endocrine distruptors we need to eat organically, do not bring unneeded thing to our house (example thing from plastic) and important for pregnant woman to gain knowledge to avoid to expose to chemical because it will effect the baby.
THE GREAT INVASION – DOCUMENTARY ON ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that may interfere with the body’s endocrine system and produce adverse developmental, reproductive, neurological, and immune effects in living organism. The example of these are Bisphenol-A(BPA), phalates and PBDE and they exist in our daily life which include in plastic, in detergents, in toys, and in shampoo and nearly in our everyday life. Endocrine disruptors may affect our health.
BBS THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF HORMONES with Dr Jones Wass In this video, Dr Jones Wass shared to us a knowledge about hormone. Dr Jones said, hormone are crucial part of our biology and understand them is the better understand ourselves. In this video, he also shared a story about the castrato opera singers named Farinelli who was castrated before puberty. Hormone is important because it help us to regulate body system and it control the function of the entire organ.
Hormone control everything in our body and it’s important for our development. Defiency and over production of hormone will cause the effect to human. For example, Farinelli, musical stars have supernatural amazing voice was a castrato. He castrated before his puberty in order to maintain the purity of his voice. But castrato effect to his body and his appearances change. For example, his arm and his leg become long. This video also show that chicken was use to see the effect of castrato to animal. Hormone was very mystery to the researcher. From this video, it show that the “hormone” term gained from the group of physiologist from the dinner in Cambridge University to represents something that exists in their investigation and this term we use until today. Every single hormone have different molecular structure but the work unites them. Besides, hormone have it unique role and they have different actions on many diferent scale oof action.
In this video, Chris, have height taller than from normal people. It happen because of overproduction of growth hormone and it kept growing and growing well into his twenties. Next, diabetis also occurs because of hormone insulin was disrupted. Next, obesity. Investigation of hormon leptin use genetics showed the DNA of patients have a mutation and that was distrupting the hormon leptin and it’s caused weight problem. It’s make patients cannot control their appetite. Finally, the lesson that we can learn from history of the hormones, it show an amazing discoveries and it science that is in its infancy because it took many years for hormones reveal all their secret.
We can find measurable chemical in almost everywhere we look and comes out from our environment and they’re silent. With modern products, it is demanded by consumers. Things that we are using in daily life are containing those endocrine disruptors. It includes BPA, PCBs, DDT, and some other pesticides.
BBC THE FANTASTICAL WORLD OF HORMONES
This video tells how hormone were discovered. Hormone is important in our body mechanisms. Hormones are essential for every activity of life, including the processes of digestion, metabolism, growth, reproduction, and mood control. Endocrine glands, which are special groups of cells, make hormones. The major endocrine glands are the pituitary, pineal, thymus, thyroid, adrenal glands, and pancreas. In addition, men produce hormones in their testes and women produce them in their ovaries.
The Great Invasion Endocrine Disruptor In this video we know that this invisible chemicals (Brominated flame retardants, alkylphenols, permethrine, bisphenol-A, phthalates, parabens, organotins) cause interference within the bodies system, where the system produces, regulates and deals with the bodies hormones. This is call Endocrine disrupting chemical where chemical interfere with hormone in body endocrine system. Most of the invisible chemicals are from our surrounding objects. So we should be extra careful when using object such as plastic which is mainly use in our daily life for storing food and use as cup for drinking, cosmetics product and detergent which many of these chemicals go down the drain and into the water environment where they become available in wildlife. So we need to read and know more information about this endocrine disruptor chemical so that we can can avoid most of it in our daily activity.
BBC The Fantastical World of Hormones Hormones shape each and every one of us, affecting almost every aspect of our lives such as our height, our weight, our appetites, how we grow and reproduce, and even how we behave and feel. This documentary by Dr John Wass tells the wonderful and often weird story of how hormones were discovered. As conclusion, there are many hormone that a yet to be discover. Some of them have interesting effect to human body and might bring help to the medical field.
THE GREAT INVASION ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS This video highlighted about substances that interfere with the body’s endocrine system and interfere with the function of hormone which are called as endocrine disruptors. The examples of endocrine disruptors such as bisphenol-A, phthalates and PBDE can eventually affected the reproductive system, and other problem. We should be aware with the use of things in daily life and beware of the sources and effects that can give negative impact such as eat unprocessed food. It is also highlighted that certain endocrine disruptors can be especially dangerous because they are used in everyday products, however their effects are not known to most people. In my opinion, every person must be aware of their own lifestyle to avoid this.
BBS THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF HORMONES . We can understand how hormones evolved over time and the influences of hormones to the human. According to John Wass who is expert in hormones said hormones has it significant in many scientific breakthrough and medical treatments as hormones is special chemical messenger in body that created in the endocrine glands. It is highlighted that hormone is stimulate in different condition. In some cases, if a person cannot produce Insulin it will cause to diabetes as the function of insulin is to control the sugar level. If we are stress, it was a stress hormone that work in our body. If we were exercising, it involve the use of adrenaline hormone. Each hormone have a target of particular cell and it is known that overproduction of growth hormone in pituitary gland was not normal
Video 1 (The Great Invasion of Endocrine Disruptors) As the world undergoes development, many types of chemicals are created. This video will focus on the endocrine disruptors. Biophenol A (BPA), phathalates, DDT, PBDE, etc are examples of chemicals which are known as endocrine disruptors. These chemical substances can be found in plastic based products. Even though, endocrine disruptors are not persistant chemicals, however, they can be harmful to human health.
Video 2 (BBS The Fantastic World of Hormones)
Human endocrine system plays a significant role in the secretion process of hormones. An example was given by Dr Jones Wass regarding hormones in this video. A musician whom was castrated before puberty to maintain the purity of his voice had to face the consequences which left permanent physical retardation to him. Hence, it is necessary for the public to have basic knowledge on the importance of hormones to human.
This video give a review about endocrine disruptors, which are substances that disrupt the endocrine system. In addition, it can also interfere with the function of hormones. Endocrine disruptors may be synthetic or natural in origin and are used in a wide range of products and materials ranging from cosmetics, food, toys, plastics, retardants, metal cans, pesticides and industrial solvents. They aren’t really that persistent but can have a large impact on human health and body conditions. The impact can be minimize by carefully choosing the household material that were used.
BBS THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF HORMONES with Dr Jones Wass
Dr John Wass briefly talking about the history of hormones. Dr Wass recounts the history of hormone, including how hormones were discovered, and explains what they are and how they affect how we behave and feel, from governing our weight and appetite to how we grow and reproduce. The hormone is a chemical substance which produced in the body, controls and regulates the activity of certain cells or organs. Hormones are very closely related to our human body however there are only hundreds of hormones been discovered. Dr John Wass believed that there are still more hormones that are waiting to be discovered and this can bring a one hundred one benefits to human mankinds hopefully in the near future.
THE GREAT INVASION – DOCUMENTARY ON ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS People are exposed to the chemical directly or indirectly that are present on daily live either crusted in plastic, in detergents and toasters, concealed in our food, in toys, in shampoo. They have invaded everything, including our bodies. The documentary showed how the endocrine disruptor works and the effect of it. The effect of chemicals depend on timing,dose and person exposed especially to new born baby during the pregnancy. Its also promotes health education and prevention to it. The scientists give great explanations about the size of the problem and the difficulties that were face in eradicating these hormone disruptors.
BBC THE FANTASTICAL WORLD OF HORMONES John Wass who is the professor of endocrinologist, spend years study on hormone presents a documentary telling the story of how hormones were discovered. He wonderfully explained how bizarre hormones works on human and its role in growth by telling about an man opera singers(castrato),who preserved their prepubescent voice through castration, illustrating just how influential a single hormone can be to human. He also tells the overproduction of growth hormone and the effect of hormone insulin.
MICHELLE ELVA JAMES BS14110058 The first video:THE GREAT INVASION ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS For my opinion and summary after watching this,how fast the and quiet the harmful chemical can easily enter our body.For example like the BPA,even in the receipt it is still there and when it come in contact to our skin,it may enter into it. Mainly,a review about endocrine disruptors were discussed in this video,endocrine disruptors are substances that disrupt the endocrine system. In addition, it can also interfere with the function of hormones.They can be synthetic or natural in origin and are used in a wide range of products and materials ranging from cosmetics, food, toys, plastics, retardants, metal cans, pesticides and industrial solvents. Thus,we as human must know the impacts of all this chemical products and beware of it.
The second video:BBS THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF HORMONES For my opinion and summary after watching this,Dr.John explained to us about the uniqueness of hormones.He recounts the history of endocrinology, including how hormones were discovered, and explains what they are and how they affect how we behave and feel, from governing our weight and appetite to how we grow and reproduce.I love the way this Dr John explains because I can see passion in his eyes while he is talking about it.Thus,hormones function are so important for us to understand as we always experience it everyday and everytime even when we are sleeping.
THE GREAT INVASION ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS As we know, there are about 85000 chemicals today are in commerce and also about 70000 high-production with high volume chemical are not been tested for safety. The chemical actually get into our body without our realize such as cosmetics product. In order to measure how chemical come to our environment especially our body it can be measure by measure urine, blood, amniotic fluid of pregnant woman and breast milk. Endocrine-disrupting chemical such as DDT is a chemical that in some way interferes with the bodies endocrine system that produce regulates and deals with the bodies many hormones like estrogen.
BBS THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF HORMONES with Dr Jones Wass Chemical that flow in our bodies can rule our lives and shape our destinies. A hormone is one affected by chemical. Every one of us is the most wonderful opportunity hormones are crucial part of our biology and to understand them is to better understand ourselves.
THE GREAT INVASION ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS Since decades ago, human races are very eager in producing chemicals in order to aid mankind everyday life. However, little did they know that the products they used might cause the disruption of endocrine in their body which may leads to the adverse effect on human health. Our life are surrounded by many source of endocrine disruptors. From everywhere we look, we can see vary products that may affects us negatively. Hence, words need to be spread on the effects of endocrine disruptors in the human everyday gadgets, cosmetics, food and etc. The choice of being healthy lies on one’s own hand. By opting organic, unprocessed canned food and minimizing the use of chemicals and plastic might help one’s living a better life.
BBC THE FANTASTICAL WORLD Hormone plays a significant role in our life. Influencing a vast matter in human's everyday life. There are numerous type of hormone with different unique roles in an organism life. Using blood as the mean of transport, hormone will only act on the specific target or organ. The altering or changing the amount of hormone supposed to be supplied to a target organ will also alter the supposed effect, such as Gigantism due to the excess of growth hormone. While many scientists in the past had demonstrated many experiments of hormone on many living organisms and even to their body, in belief of producing the 'elixir of life' or cure for many disease, the full ability of hormone is still remain indiscoverable.
[The Great Invasion - Documentary on endocrine disruptors] Usage of chemicals have been increased from year to year. These chemicals are used widely in commerce. Most of these chemicals are negatively affecting the human being. It can be found everywhere and even in human body. Once it enter the system, it would caused alteration.
[BBC The Fantastical World of Hormones] Hormone are fundamental for human. It controls the human body. Different hormone cause different behavior to the body.
Video 1: The great invasion-documentary on endocrine disruptors According to Shanna Shaw, it's about 80-85 thousand of chemical being used nowadays and about 70 thousand of chemical are being used for high production. Besides that, she believed that most of those chemicals are not being tested. Like we all know, endocrine disruptors are chemicals such as DDT, pesticides and bisphenol A that can interfere with the body`s endocrine system and will produce adverse developmental, reproductive, neurological and immune effects in both humans and animals. Usually, these endocrines disruptors can be found from daily products like plastic bottles, detergents, cosmetics and pesticides. Video 2: BBC The Fantastic World of Hormones Generally, hormones are special chemical messengers in our body at which it can created in our endocrine glands. Besides that, those messengers control most of our major bodily function which is from simple basic needs like reproduction, emotions and mood. In this video, Dr. John Wass talked more about the lack of testosterone among male due to endocrine disruptors. Besides that, in this video he mentions a lot of research be done, for example, the production of insulin from animal to treat diabetic patients.
The Great Invasion of endocrine disruptors. Endocrine disruptors may found in many everyday product including plastic bottles, detergents, cosmetics, toys and etc. Endocrine disruptors capable to interfered some of human body system. Human body system that produces regulates and deals with many hormones such as estrogen, testosterone thyroid and etc will be interfere either based on how much it is produced. Unborn fetus, cancer and asthma are some of the impacts of endocrine disruptors.
BBS The Fantastic World of Hormones. Hormone involved in our everyday occurrence, awakening, and growth. It is also referring to our metabolism and desire. Hormone also take placed in human emotional reactions. Hormone is important in medical treatments, cell stimulation and development.

This video explains the exposure of various chemicals to humans. Little do we know that the products we are using consists of various chemicals which can potentially affect our state of being. This is because chemicals leached out from products can disrupt the normal functioning of our body. Such chemicals are for example, Bisphenol-A, DDT, Paraben, Phthalates and PBDE which are also known as endocrine disruptors.
BBC THE FANTASTICAL WORLD
This video describes the significance of hormones in our body which are fundamental in our normal functioning system. It is one of the essential factors in controlling our body and give different effects to our bodies based on the amount of hormones produced.
In my opinion, i think kids should have to take classes in school about these chemicals here and there in pre-school and even mandatory classes in college if they go to college. There are more people with disorders than the general public will ever know unless this gets exposed on a mass scale and at least acknowledged. A lot of people ESPECIALLY millennials have very extreme disorders and being lead threw out their lives thinking that nothing is wrong.
BBC The Fantasical World of Hormones
This documentary tells the wonderful and often weird story of how hormones were discovered. Presenter John Wass, one the country's leading experts on hormones, relates some amazing stories - how as recently as the 19th century boys were castrated to keep their pure soprano voice, how juices were extracted from testicles in the hope they would rejuvenate old men and how true medical heroes like Frederick Banting discovered a way to make insulin, thus saving the lives of countless diabetes sufferers. And hormones remain at the cutting edge of medicine as we try and deal with modern scourges like obesity.

According to Dr. John Wass, hormones affect how we behave and feel and actually control everything in our body. This is indicated by the case of Farinelli whereby the Italian musical star shows body and appearance change due to castration before puberty in order to maintain the purity of his voice. This is just to show how hormones affect largely in proper functioning of our body.
THE GREAT INVASION – DOCUMENTARY ON ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS From video, this can indicate the use of chemicals in various products such as plastics, cosmetics and household producst. These producsts act as hormone disruptors to interfere with the endocrine system of our bodies. Chemicals such as bisphenol-A (BPA), phathalates and PBDE are the examples of endocrine disruptors that occur in our daily life which can caused our human health. All of these chemicals can be found in plastic toys, sprays, household products such as detergents, electronics such as refrigerators and microwave. Some of these chemicals are carcinogen chemicals which can cause cancer to living things. Therefore, over-dependent or over-usage of these products can cause cancer or tumors in human body, the reproductive system will be affected and the developmental problems will occur. BBC THE FANTASTICAL WORLD OF HORMONES From watching this video, this can concluded that hormones control everything in our body. Hormones are essential for every activity of life, including the processes of digestion, metabolism, growth, reproduction, and mood control. For example, a research about sex hormone in male brings effect from boy to man along his puberty and this question has totally influence with the changes and number of production of hormones. Moreover, insulin in our body controls sugar level and lack of insulin may lead to diabetes. Hormones are crucial parts in our body and important in better understanding of how our body works.

Therefore, people need to be aware of consuming and using products that might give harmful effects to human and the environment.
BBS THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF HORMONES In this video, Professor John Wass focused more about hormones where he discovered and share his knowledge regarding hormones. Generally, hormones are a chemical substance that controls and regulates any activity of cells and organs in human body. Examples of hormones in human body are insulin, testosterone, estrogen and many more. Therefore, from this video, we can learn and understand more about the importance of hormones towards our body .
THE GREAT INVASION-DOCUMENTARY ON ENDOCRINE Disruptor Endocrine disruptor may be in synthetic or natural. it is used widely in plastic, detergent, cosmetic and pesticides. it can cause a serious health problem to human such as breast cancer, testis cancer and other depending on dosage, timing, age and gender. it is hard to control since we use them in our daily life. However, we can reduce the usage of endocrine disruptor base product. we should be more aware about the disadvantage of DDT, PBDE, phthalates and bisphenol-A.
BBC THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF HORMONES From this video, we know that hormones play a crucial roles in our body. Endocrinol system are important to secrete hormones that can help our body growth, matabolism and many more. Hormones such as insulin and estrogen are example of crucial hormones in our body. By understanding the hormones, we can understand more about our body.
THE GREAT INVASION - DOCUMENTARY ON ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS From the video, we know that even before the World War 2, the production of chemical products had been increasing annually. Scientists had been using petroleum to make new products like plastics, insecticide and cosmetics. Back in the older days, there was not much awareness the perilous of these products can be, especially the insecticide like DDT. Pretty much everything in the environment are contaminated. The most sensitive stage where chemical is highly found was during development. Furthermore, through these chemicals, endocrine disruptors were found in which they may cause health effects on human. Examples of endocrine disruptors include bisphenol-A (BPA), phathalates and PBDE. As recommendations, eat organically, be careful with plastic products, pregnant women should educate themselves about food and cosmetics.
BBC THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF HORMONES From this video, we are joining the journey of Dr John Wass in better understanding of hormones history. Hormones are invisible components in the endocrine system and the most important in running and regulating our bodies. Throughout the history, many bizarre philosophies had been discovered about hormones. For example, the removal of testicles of a boy in order to maintain his soprano voice and testicles removal of certain species of chicken to make sure that its meat is tender. The most unbelievable idea was how a scientist believed that the injection of testosterone into our body system was the key to youth. The idea even spread throughout the whole world. There are a few of other hormones also being explained in this video like thyroid hormones, growth hormones and pituitary glands. Interestingly, pituitary gland is a small part which carried very important role which is to regulate the secretions of other hormones. The new hormone that had been discovered recently is leptin which function to control our weight by regulating our appetite. More than 80 hormones in human aline with vast different role and molecular structure. Each hormone only work with specific target cell to perform its specific task.
THE GREAT INVASION ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS The development of household materials lead to the the founding of the endocrine disruptors and they can affect human health. So, to avoid from the chemicals that disrupt the endocrine system, we have to choose our household carefully. The video highlighted some of the endocrine disruptors such as Biophenol A (BPA), phathalates, DDT, PBDE and many more.

THE GREAT INVASION ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS Environmental endocrine disrupters, also known as environmental hormones, endocrine-active compounds, endocrine disrupting compounds, the environmental endocrine disruptor refers to an exogenous material, the material will cause uninjured organisms to reverse health effects, or organism An endocrine disrupter of a progeny is a physical endocrine disrupter that may result in undamaged. Endocrine disruptors are not only present in the external environment, but the family materials mentioned in the video also contain terrible endocrine disruptors. We need to read the contents of the articles carefully when we buy or renovate our homes. Common EEDs: detergent: nonyl phenol, octyl phenol, etc .; plastic plasticizers: phthalates and so on. These are very dangerous and can lead to malignant tumors. As an environmental science student, we should publicize this potential threat, and we need to awaken people's attention to toxic substances in their daily lives.
THE GREAT INVASION ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS The endocrine disruptor such as Bisphenol-A (BPA), phthalates and PBDE can be found in the household material such as the plastic bottle, cosmetics, detergents and sprays. The endocrine disruptors are harmful to reproductive system and also can cause cancer, developmental problem and so on. Thus, appropriate measures should be taken in order to raise the awareness about the risk and severe impacts of endocrine disruptors.
BBS THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF HORMONES Hormone plays a vital role in our body. The examples of the hormone in our body include insulin, estrogen and testosterone which carry out their specific function in our body. The hormones are able control our emotion. Different types of hormone can be found in different target cells. The hormones regulate the mechanism process in our body every day. Thus, it is important for us to understand the facts and how the hormones work in our body.
THE GREAT INVASION - DOCUMENTARY ON ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS Endocrine disruptor which is also known as environmental disrupting hormones can be synthetic form or naturally occurring. This types of chemicals such as Bisphenol-A (BPA) may interfere with the endocrine system of the body and produce adverse effects on development, reproductive system, neurological and affect immune systems in living organisms. All these chemicals can be found in sprays, household products such as detergents and electronics appliances such as refrigerators and microwaves. Some of these chemicals may have carcinogenic effects of living organisms which may cause cancer or tumors in the body. Thus, one should not over rely on these products as the harmful effects may be deleterious.
BBS THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF HORMONES From the second video which is about hormones in human body, Dr John Wass shared about how the hormones were being discovered. Hormones play a vital role in our everyday life, namely in the process of digestion, metabolism, reproduction and growth. Hormones control everything that occurs in our body and hormones are an essential component that cannot be absent in our body. Testosterone, estrogen to name a few are examples of hormones. In every different cells in our body, there are different types of hormones present. Hence, from this video I have learnt how important is the hormones that present in our body.
THE GREAT INVASION ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS From this video, we can know that the use of chemicals such as Bisphenol-A (BPA), phthalates and PBDE are present in various products such as plastics, cosmetics and other household products.These products are very harmful to reproductive system and lower the fertility as well as cause cancer. Exposure to endocrine disruptors during pregnancy cause baby to be hyperactive, learning defects, wright gains and lower the fertility when they grow up.Therefore, some appropriate actions must be carried out to reduce the risk endocrine disruption.
BBS THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF HORMONES Hormone is very important as they are able to control our emotion and regulate the mechanism process in our body everyday. The examples of hormones in our body include insulin, estrogen, testosterone and so on. Hormones are the chemical messengers that are secreted directly into the blood. For example, insulin is the hormone that used to control the sugar level in the body. The imbalance of the insulin level in human body can result in diabetes. John Wass believed that there are still more hormones to be discovered as there is only hundreds of hormones have been discovered today.
THE GREAT INVASION ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS From this video, it showed the usage of chemicals like Bisphenol-A (BPA), phthalates and PBDE in various kind of products such as plastics, cosmetics and other household products.These products will cause lower fertility power in man and woman. Exposure to endocrine disruptors during pregnancy will cause the baby to be hyperactive, learning defects, wright gains and lower the fertility when they grow up.Therefore, we should prevent ourselves to expose to these chemicals as much as possible.
BBS THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF HORMONES Hormone in our body is function as a emotion controller and also regulate the mechanism process in our body everyday. The examples of hormones in our body include insulin, estrogen, testosterone and so on. Hormones is directly secrete into our blood. For example, insulin is the hormone that used to control the sugar level in the body. The imbalance of the insulin level in human body will cause diabetes. John Wass says that there are actually still a lot more hormones to be discovered as our human body is too complicated to discover and there is only hundreds of hormones have been discovered today.
Endocrine disruptors are structurally similar to human hormones (hormones) and can disrupt endocrine synthetic chemicals, they are all synthetic. Endocrine disruptors Enter the animal and human body after polluting the environment and through the food chain (diet) or contact and affect the reproductive system. Into the human body after the sequelae of the second generation and even the third generation. Visible daily products such as benzene, phenol, chlorine all can be formed in the Earth all kinds of endocrine disruptors. We should stop using the related items in production

Professor John Wass tells us although the amount of hormones in our body is small, but it has a great impact on health. Lack or have too much will both cause too many diseases, such as: excessive secretion of growth hormone can cause gigantism, too little secretion will cause dwarfism. Only a small dose of hormones can change the cell metabolism. It can be said that hormones are a kind of chemical messenger from one cell to another.
The fantastic world of hormon: after watching this video, i realise how important hormon or endocrine system to our body. Organ related to human body was kidney, brain, pancrease, thyroid and these part of body have a specific gland that release hormon with specific function. Many research had been done to understand this system and how it can affecting human development especially in sexualism and behaviourism. If one of the gland in this system disfunction well, human may undergoes abnormal. Few disease causes by hormon deficiency today such as gigantism, hypo or hyperthyroidism and diabetes melitus and scientific still try to understand, and perhaps in medical world, artificial homon can replace these hormon secretion from our body but still it will trigger another point of concern.

Chemical as endocrine disruptor was produce since industrial booming create a lot of chemical product to ease our live, to enhance quality of living. However, chemical was invisible and we dont know how much these chemical already accumulate in our body base of our daily practise. Chemical toxic already invaded to ur endocrine system and these chemical can block certain hormon action. We can not estimate how much we were expose to chemical in our daily live. Today, there were a lot of product that produce in chemically way. Cosmetic, medicine and even our attire... is example of chemical in our surrounding. So, we know we already exposed to chemical and now it already alter our endocrine system slowly based on our lifestyle.

The history of discovering how hormones affect whole human body is interesting as it happens in the ancient times that people are still innocent about hormones. The key deduction was that whatever effects were happening were happening through the blood. This starts with observation due to action of the male sex hormone testosterone that has brought so much changes on a man. No one has the idea that chemicals alone can have such dramatic effects on the whole body. Also then they came to the curiosity of the extraordinary tall man who scientist studies about his skeleton especially his brain found is the pituitary glands and pituitary fossa in his skull was extra huge that produces excessive growth hormone cause his height so tall.

ReplyDeleteEndocrine disruptors tend to interfere with the body’s endocrine system that produces, regulates and deals with the bodies many hormones like estrogen, testosterone, thyroid and so on. Endocrine disruptors such as bisphenol-A, phthalates and PBDE can be found in everyday life. They are commonly present in cosmetics, computers, refrigerators, detergents, microwaves, sprays and so on. Endocrine disruptors are able to cause negative effects depending on timing, dose and who is being exposed to. The negative effects include diabetes, breast cancer, testis cancer and others. In order to prevent this to happen, people are recommended to eat unprocessed food, buy a wooden toy instead of plastic toy, never microwaving anything in plastics and so on. The exposure routes of endocrine disruptors are hard to control, therefore the society must have the determination to change their own lifestyles and also choose the best one for themselves.
BBC THE FANTASTICAL WORLD OF HORMONES
Endocrinol system is important to secrete hormones that help to regulate the body’s growth, metabolism and sexual development and function. Hormones such as insulin, estrogen, testosterone, and others play the role to act on its target cell and thus perform a specific task. The deficiency or overproduction of hormones may lead to different changes on humans. For examples, Farinelli, the musical star was castrated before puberty in order to maintain the purity of his voice. Castration caused the elimination of testosterone and thus leads to the change of his physical appearances such as long arms, long legs, enormous chest and others. Besides that, Chris Krina, one of the Britain’s tallest man suffering from gigantism. Gigantism is caused by overproduction of growth hormone by the pituitary gland. The common symptoms include very large hands and feet, thick toes and fingers and others. It is important to know that the pituitary gland is important to make hormones that control many functions in the human body and every hormone has a different molecular structure but what unites them is how they work.

Certain endocrine disruptors can be especially dangerous because they are used in everyday products, however their effects are not known to most people. Besides that, chemicals can be harmless at low doses, but a combination of chemicals can cause harm even at low doses. Therefore, measures have to be taken to ensure that the use of endocrine disruptors are restricted, and more people are aware of their sources and effects.

In the video, hormones are introduced as chemicals that affect many of our body's functions and are fundamental to making us who we are. Hormones control various things in our body, for example, a tumour in the pituitary gland can cause over secretion of growth hormones that causes abnormally large growth. Besides that, insulin, which is a very well known hormone, controls our sugar level, and the lack of it can lead to diabetes.

During the post world war the invention and alteration of petroleum molecules into fabrics, toothbrush, insecticide, cosmetics and countless invention but the lack of knowledge or indication of the chemicals these inventions carry has brought upon many adverse effects. There are about 80,000 to 85,000 chemicals in the market today while the human body contains at least 200 chemicals. Many of these chemicals we deem to be innocent until it was proven otherwise. There are many bodily indications to measure chemicals in the human body such as from the urine, blood, amniotic fluid, breast milk and many more. People are encouraged to read about things that are possible endocrine disruptors, which alter the hormones in the body. Hormones the fundamental that makes us who we are, it plays a big role in role in our development and character. Scientist has used animal testing over the years and the side effects of these endocrine disruptors are surprising. Many epidemics are common nowadays such as low testosterone amongst male and one out of seven women develop breast cancer. Some chemicals adverse effect took years to study, it even took lead two years to discover its adverse effects. One common concern that begun with the industrial age, is the castration epidemiology. The study of thyroid hormone from researchers was the key to the cure that comes without a proper functioning thyroid, a disease such as myxoedema. It’s amazing how something as minute/small as the pituitary gland in the human brain can play such a big role in the human body such as growth and hormone levels. Even as researches study the pancreases and one of its vital hormones the insulin, which serves as a cure for diabetes that is widely used in these modern age and time. Surprisingly even the fats in our body play a role in producing hormones, lectin which plays a role in controlling appetite and body weight. The study of chemical messenger and secretion is the final piece of the jigsaw puzzle. Thus, the basic knowledge of hormone and how endocrine disruptors plays a role in our everyday life are vital, because it is a common epidemic that is almost impossible to escape in this time of day.

Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that may interfere with the body’s endocrine system and produce adverse developmental, reproductive, neurological, and immune effects in both humans and wildlife. It can interfere from one organ to the other. Exposure of endocrine disruptors bring negative effects to human body for example, bisphenol A will have high chances of breast cancer, baby hyperactivity, learning defect and infertility, while phathalates will cause feminisation and PBDE will causes obesity and children lost IQ point and memory. Therefore, it is important to understand the mixture of the chemicals and the effects towards humane because the combination of chemicals might bring to a huge effects even thought it is only in small dose.

An endocrine-disrupting substance a compound, either natural or synthetic which through environmental or inappropriate developmental exposures alters the hormonal and homeostatic systems that enable the organism to communicate with and respond to its environment where we cannot see it. Therefore, the effect can be at sexually dimorphic behaviors, reproduction and neurodevelopment. As conclusion, endocrine disruptors will release mimic a natural hormone and lock onto a receptor with in the cell.

ReplyDeleteEndocrine disruptors play a vital role on our bodies as it is increasing production of certain hormones as well as decreasing production of others, imitating hormones, turning one hormone into another, interfering with hormone signaling, telling cells to die prematurely, competing with essential nutrients, binding to essential hormones and accumulating in organs that produce hormones.An example of endocrine disruptor is BPA. BPA has been linked to everything from breast and others cancers to reproductive problems, obesity, early puberty and heart disease. Therefore, we should avoid from using materials that containing BPA. Avoid consume food in cans because many food in cans are lined with BPA. Next, it is good not to use receipts, since thermal paper is often coated with BPA. In addition, it is important to avoid plastics marked with a "PC" since it contain BPA.

The most common chemicals that contain in these products are Bisphenol A, phathalates and PBDE, they are also known as endocrine disruptors. Endocrine disruotprs are chemicals known to interfere with development and reproduction, and they may cause serious neurological and immune system effects. Some of these chemicals are known as carcinogenic which means they can cause cancer. The over dependent or over usage of these products that contain such harmful chemicals can cause cancer in human body, the reproductive system will be affected and the developmental problems will occur. As mentioned in this video, some chemicals are harmless if the dosage is low, however, negative effects or harmful effect may occur with a combination of chemicals even if they are use at low dosage. The human can be exposed to endocrine distruptors in various ways, for example through touching, breathing and eating. In a nutshell, the use of endocrine disruptors are needed to be monitored and restricted by professionals. Harmless chemicals are needed to be discovered by the researchers to replace these endocrine disruptors as substitutes in all the related products.

From the past centuries, there are a number of scientists did some research in the study of hormones. Hormones plays a great role in our human body. The slight change of the hormone can lead to obvious change in physical, chemical and biological change in human body. Some of the example of hormone mentioned in this video is laptin hormone. This is a hormone that control or affect the obesity in a human body. The more secretion of laptin hormone by the fats in human body, the person will be more obese. The over secretion of growth hormone by the pituitary gland due to growth of tumour can cause gigantism. Besides that, insulin is one of the hormone that control the sugar level of human body. The imbalance of the insulin supplied in human body can lead to diabetes. Hormones are very closely related to our human body however there are only hundreds of hormones been discovered.

ReplyDeleteEndocrine disruptors may found in many everyday product including plastic bottles, detergents, cosmetics, toys and etc. Endocrine disruptors capable to interfered some of human body system. Human body system that produces regulates and deals with many hormones such as estrogen, testosterone thyroid and etc will be interfere either based on how much it is produced. Unborn fetus, cancer and asthma are some of the impacts of endocrine disruptors.

ReplyDeleteThe first video is about the effects of chemical towards the human endrocrine system . From my understanding of the video , endocrine disruptors are chemicals that can interfere with human body’s endocrine system ( within certain dose ). The documentary showed how the endocrine disruptor works and the effect of it . A wide range of substances, both natural and man-made, are thought to cause endocrine disruption , including pharmaceuticals, dioxin and dioxin-like compounds, polychlorinated biphenyls, DDT and other pesticides, and plasticizers such as bisphenol A. Exposure to endocrine disruptors may harmed human health for example lowered fertility and an increased incidence of endometriosis and some cancers .

In my opinion, i think kids should have to take classes in school about these chemicals here and there in pre-school and even mandatory classes in college if they go to college. There are more people with disorders than the general public will ever know unless this gets exposed on a mass scale and at least acknowledged. A lot of people ESPECIALLY millennials have very extreme disorders and being lead threw out their lives thinking that nothing is wrong.
BBC The Fantasical World of Hormones
This documentary tells the wonderful and often weird story of how hormones were discovered. Presenter John Wass, one the country's leading experts on hormones, relates some amazing stories - how as recently as the 19th century boys were castrated to keep their pure soprano voice, how juices were extracted from testicles in the hope they would rejuvenate old men and how true medical heroes like Frederick Banting discovered a way to make insulin, thus saving the lives of countless diabetes sufferers. And hormones remain at the cutting edge of medicine as we try and deal with modern scourges like obesity.

ReplyDeleteFrom the video, we know that even before the World War 2, the production of chemical products had been increasing annually. Scientists had been using petroleum to make new products like plastics, insecticide and cosmetics. Back in the older days, there was not much awareness the perilous of these products can be, especially the insecticide like DDT. Pretty much everything in the environment are contaminated. The most sensitive stage where chemical is highly found was during development. Furthermore, through these chemicals, endocrine disruptors were found in which they may cause health effects on human. Examples of endocrine disruptors include bisphenol-A (BPA), phathalates and PBDE. As recommendations, eat organically, be careful with plastic products, pregnant women should educate themselves about food and cosmetics.
BBC THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF HORMONES
From this video, we are joining the journey of Dr John Wass in better understanding of hormones history. Hormones are invisible components in the endocrine system and the most important in running and regulating our bodies. Throughout the history, many bizarre philosophies had been discovered about hormones. For example, the removal of testicles of a boy in order to maintain his soprano voice and testicles removal of certain species of chicken to make sure that its meat is tender. The most unbelievable idea was how a scientist believed that the injection of testosterone into our body system was the key to youth. The idea even spread throughout the whole world. There are a few of other hormones also being explained in this video like thyroid hormones, growth hormones and pituitary glands. Interestingly, pituitary gland is a small part which carried very important role which is to regulate the secretions of other hormones. The new hormone that had been discovered recently is leptin which function to control our weight by regulating our appetite. More than 80 hormones in human aline with vast different role and molecular structure. Each hormone only work with specific target cell to perform its specific task.

Professor John Wass tells us although the amount of hormones in our body is small, but it has a great impact on health. Lack or have too much will both cause too many diseases, such as: excessive secretion of growth hormone can cause gigantism, too little secretion will cause dwarfism. Only a small dose of hormones can change the cell metabolism. It can be said that hormones are a kind of chemical messenger from one cell to another.

The fantastic world of hormon: after watching this video, i realise how important hormon or endocrine system to our body. Organ related to human body was kidney, brain, pancrease, thyroid and these part of body have a specific gland that release hormon with specific function. Many research had been done to understand this system and how it can affecting human development especially in sexualism and behaviourism. If one of the gland in this system disfunction well, human may undergoes abnormal. Few disease causes by hormon deficiency today such as gigantism, hypo or hyperthyroidism and diabetes melitus and scientific still try to understand, and perhaps in medical world, artificial homon can replace these hormon secretion from our body but still it will trigger another point of concern.

Chemical as endocrine disruptor was produce since industrial booming create a lot of chemical product to ease our live, to enhance quality of living. However, chemical was invisible and we dont know how much these chemical already accumulate in our body base of our daily practise. Chemical toxic already invaded to ur endocrine system and these chemical can block certain hormon action. We can not estimate how much we were expose to chemical in our daily live. Today, there were a lot of product that produce in chemically way. Cosmetic, medicine and even our attire... is example of chemical in our surrounding. So, we know we already exposed to chemical and now it already alter our endocrine system slowly based on our lifestyle.
