Obesity and weight gain have become one of the world’s most obvious problem. It is widely spoken of in the news, between friends, families and so on. In a study conducted in America, the results are the following: â€Å"35% of adults and nearly 17% of children aged 2–19 years are obese. Obesity plagues people not just in the United States but worldwide, including, increasingly, developing countries. Even animals—pets, laboratory animals, and urban rats—have experienced increases in average body weight over the past several decades, trends not necessarily explained by diet and exercise† (Holtcamp, 2012). An obesogen â€Å"describes a chemical that promotes excessive weight gain by increasing adipocyte (fat cell) size or number, changing metabolism†¦show more content†¦Bisphenol-A (BPA) which is one of these dangerous chemicals may also be found in cans and plastics and it is recommended to not microwave food in plastic since the heat makes the plastic release this chemical, nonstick pans have also showed to having Perfluorooctanoic acid which is one of these obesogenetic chemicals and surprisingly shower curtains and air fresheners contain Phtalates which are also another one of these chemicals. Obesogens really have to most powerful effect on a person when the person is still developing, as in when a person is a fetus, inside the mother’s womb. If the mother is exposed to any hints of obesogens then it will affect the baby. For example, once the mother has been exposed to any obesogenetic chemical the baby will start to turn some of its cells into fat cells and this will make the baby grow some extra pounds at the time of birth. Later on this baby will continue to live as if not affected by the obesogens. As time passes this person will always have some extra pounds, not to mention that he or she won’t know when he/she is full so this person will just keep eating. If this person decides to lose these extra pounds they will have a harder time since after all obesogens disrupt the way a person burns calories. They will have to work out harder and eat healthier than people that were exposed little amounts or none at all to these chemicals.
