What if everything you knew about the biology of body weight is
wrong? According to compelling, leading-edge science, being
overweight isn't just the result of too many cheeseburgers and not
enough cardio. Another silent factor is contributing mightily to
our obesity epidemic: "obesogens." These toxins--which are
everywhere, from our food containers to furniture--sabotage our
efforts to lose weight by disrupting our endocrine system, altering
how we metabolize fat and permanently changing our fat cells,
despite our efforts to count calories, exercise, and lose weight.
Even scarier: lab tests have proven that these chemicals can
irreversibly re-program the expression of our genes, which means
that obesity can become an inherited trait. The chemicals we're
exposed to will not just meaningfully affect our health, but our
children's health, and future generations as well. Sound like
science fiction? Dr. Blumberg was the first to coin the term
"obesogens" in 2006 when the irrefutable data was staring him in
the face. His research spawned a whole new area of study that has
triggered a fascination among top scientists worldwide to
understand obesogens-how they work, where they are hidden, and what
it means for our health and that of future generations. In THE
OBESOGEN EFFECT, Dr. Blumberg is ready to reveal his landmark
research to show how hidden chemicals might be the root cause of
our 21st century obesity epidemic. With a rich blend of
storytelling, anecdotes, a synthesis of his research, and a
three-step action plan to prevent and minimize the effects of
obesogens, THE OBESOGEN EFFECT will transform your life and the
lives of future generations.
