EDCs: Hiding in plain sight.

EDCs are everywhere.

They’re in the food wrapper you opened this morning. The makeup you applied before work. The chopping board you used to make dinner. Our bodies are being flooded with an invisible cocktail of chemicals called EDCs (Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals) that are putting us at greater risk of breast cancer, infertility and obesity.

We all deserve to know what’s hidden in the products we use every day, so we can protect our health and hold governments and companies accountable.

Cancer touches so many of our lives. We're told that around 1 in 2 of us will develop cancer in our lifetimes.

This is not OK.

A movement is growing. We can win.

What can I do?

We shouldn’t have to accept things as they are. With our health at stake, we won’t stop until they’re gone from our lives for good.

We didn’t ask for them, and we don’t have to put up with them.

The science is still evolving, but we know enough to say that we need to act now.

Sign our pledge

It shouldn’t fall on individuals to protect our health – governments and companies need to step up too. Sign the pledge today and be part of something monumental that could protect future generations.

Real people, real impact.

The sheer amount of healthy people being diagnosed by cancer seems to be spiralling out of control and if only one cause can be eradicated, it's a start.

I think we're in for a huge health crisis with these chemicals. I'd advise anyone to sign this as its for our grandchildren's health too.

We are all at risk, not one person (male or female) can avoid the daily chemical load we are subjected to. It is everyone's  responsibility to call this out and to do something to stop this! Whether it is for ourselves, friends or families, or even strangers... it needs to be called out and hopefully regulations are improved or created to stop this.

Lynn

There's no argument that clean living brings a huge amounts of benefits to physical and mental health and the environment. We've been so flooded with unhealthy products for convenience and economy that we've become blind to the damage they bring compared to if they never existed. It's too hard for a consumer to navigate the breadth of products and impacts. We need to stamp it out so it's not down to choice. For our children, our grandchildren, mother earth.

Why banning EDCs will make a difference

EDCs can disrupt hormone systems, especially during sensitive life stages (pregnancy, childhood and puberty).
They are found in cosmetics (parabens), some flame-retardants in furniture, certain pesticides, and PFAS “forever chemicals”.
A precautionary approach protects children, families and future generations.
At least 30% of breast cancer cases are considered preventable.

The change we want to see

We want to see corporations, regulators and the government take action.

Until we can be certain that these products are safe, we must protect the public’s health by reducing exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) through a UK-wide ban.

Although the challenge is big, we truly believe change is achievable. We can’t do it without people like you. Even small actions contribute to a much bigger movement that can help protect future generations from ever having to experience a breast cancer diagnosis.

Donate to fund the next scientific breakthrough.

We know enough to say that EDCs are harming our health and should be banned. But with more evidence, we can make it impossible for leaders not to act. Your donation could help fund a research grant at a university; to get the data we need to get governments, regulators and businesses to take notice and put protections in place to protect our health.

By giving just £10 you could fund vital research into EDCs and help push for a ban.
