Dietary Patterns and Ultra-processed Food Consumption Exposure to Phthalates and Bisphenols in the Women’s Health

Abstract

Multiple consumer and commercial items include synthetic chemicals phthalates and bisphenols, which have multiple uses. Bisphenols are employed in epoxy resins and polycarbonate plastics, while high molecular weight phthalates are used to manufacture flexible, long-lasting polymers. Children’s exposure to phthalates has been related to a range of harmful health outcomes, such as cognitive decline, behavioral issues, and deteriorated lung function. It is increasingly linked to an increased risk of various long-term health issues, such as diabetes and obesity. The Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) is the greatest study project on nutrition and health to be established in the United States.
