Abstract

It is accepted that both natural and synthetic endocrine disruptors are present in the food we eat, and that they are likely to have a pharmacological impact on the consumer. The magnitude of this impact is a cause of great controversy at present. Much of the debate has focused on the direct impact of endocrine disruptors on the consumer; this chapter speculates on possible impacts on the developing fetus that might lead to effects that manifest themselves much later in life.
