These can potentially lead to obesity.  Common types of obesogens include BPA, phthalates, herbicides, pesticides, PFOA and nonstick cookware and food additives. Naturopath and wellness expert Erin O'Hara reveals how obesogens affect your body - and how you can minimise your exposure.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
