Leaflet: Chemicals in our food and consumer products – A missing link in the epidemics of obesity and diabetes?"
This leaflet highlights how chemicals in food and consumer products may be causing obesity and diabetes. It outlines some of the evidence and how individuals and policy makers can take preventive actions.
The leaflet was jointly produced by HEAL and CHEM Trust linking obesity and diabetes with daily life exposure to chemicals as a compliment to a full report (and executive summary) by CHEM Trust.
The report gives a review of the science linking chemical exposures to the human risk of obesity and diabetes.
The leaflet is available for downloading as a PDF document in:
English
French
