Friday Night at the Meaningful Movies: “HORMONE IMPOSTERS”
Film: HORMONE IMPOSTERS (47 min, Eileen Thalenberg, 1997)
This documentary looks at the frightening way chemicals in our everyday lives are infiltrating our bodies, mimicking our hormones. By doing this they trigger unwanted activities and block other crucial biological events from taking place. Sexual identity, reproduction and brain development are among the many functions that hormones are responsible for in humans and other animals. In humans, attention deficit, problems with reading and memory, and difficulty in coping with stress may all be linked to hormone-disrupting toxins in our environment.
Following scientific clues, this investigative documentary concludes that plastics are one of the main culprits. There are endocrine disrupting chemicals in all plastics, in personal care products from cosmetics to contraceptives, in pesticides and in industrial waste. Will milk processed through plastic tubes, then microwaved in a plastic baby bottle, affect a child's development? -
