Spirits, vibrators and plastic toys can cause diabetes

Phthalates - chemical substances that are contained in plastic products, cosmetics and perfume products can increase the risk of developing diabetes in the elderly. This is the conclusion reached by researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden (Uppsala University), writes The Times of India. According to them, even a small level of these substances in the bloodstream increases the likelihood of disease twice.

Study leader Professor Monica Lind with a colleague analyzed data from more than 1 million 70-year-old residents of Uppsala. During the work of the scientists tested the performance of sugar and insulin in the blood of volunteers. The subjects gave their blood, that the Professor was able to figure out the relationships of the main indicators of various environmental toxins, including those that are formed in the body by splitting phthalates, RBC reports.




As expected, diabetes was most common among people suffering from obesity and hyperlipidemia (high levels

lipids in the blood). However, scientists have also found a relationship between the concentration of phthalates in the blood and increase the risk of diabetes, even when account was taken of factors such as obesity, lipid levels in the blood, Smoking and lack of physical activity.


Volunteers with high levels of phthalates in 2 times more often were prone to diabetes than those with whom he was demoted. Experts also noted that phthalates are associated with impaired insulin production in the pancreas.




"In order to speak about the impact of phthalates on the occurrence of diabetes, it is necessary to conduct additional studies, which show similar results. You must also find out what biological mechanism underlies this relationship," says M. Lind.

The above phthalates according to scientists blame not only obesity, but also in female infertility. The Dutch branch of Greenpeace found that their considerable dose contained in the sex toys and dangerous chemical compound destroys the reproductive system of the body. The EU and forbade manufacturers to dilute phthalates plastic and rubber, intended for the manufacture of toys, but I forgot about the "toys for adults". As a result, scientists have found that 7 out of 8 vibrators dangerous for the health of the nation: they disrupt the hormonal system of the body, affect the liver and kidneys.
