SALT LAKE CITY - Floridant -- Dr. Pompa Unveils New Hidden Dangers of Obesogens: Chemicals That Can Cause Weight Gain

The Pompa Program is excited to announce the latest insights from Dr. Pompa on obesogens—chemicals in everyday products that contribute to weight gain and metabolic disorders. In his comprehensive post, "What Chemicals Cause Weight Gain—Stay Away From Obesogens," Dr. Pompa references new groundbreaking studies that reveal how these substances lead to fat accumulation.

Key Findings on Obesogens

• Phthalates: Widely used in plastics, these chemicals disrupt hormonal balance and alter metabolism, promoting fat storage.
• Pesticides: Organophosphates and pyrethroids, common in conventionally grown fruits and vegetables, have been linked to weight gain.
• Nonylphenol: Found in plastics and detergents, this chemical has estrogenic effects that contribute to weight gain.
• Parabens: These preservatives, prevalent in cosmetic and personal care products, disrupt hormonal balance and promote weight gain.
• PFAS: Present in non-stick cookware, food packaging, flame retardants, furniture, and electronics, PFAS have been linked to weight gain. Studies show individuals with higher blood levels of PFAS are more likely to regain weight after dieting.
