Show Notes
New study reveals link between plastic chemicals DEHP and DiNP to nearly two million premature births and seventy-four thousand newborn deaths globally in 2018. These phthalates, found in everyday items like toys and food wraps, disrupt hormone signals, causing issues like early labor and poor nutrient flow to the fetus. Survivors face breathing problems, developmental delays, and more. Experts call for a global plastic treaty to curb these toxins, while the chemical industry disputes safety claims. The study highlights the need for safer alternatives and stricter regulations to ensure healthy starts for babies worldwide.
