La amenaza invisible: disruptores endocrinos y salud infantil : Prevención, ciencia y sentido común

We live surrounded by chemical substances that we don't see, don't smell, and almost never question. They're in packaging, cosmetics, cleaning products, toys, the air we breathe at home, and many foods. These are called endocrine disruptors, and today we know they can interfere with children's hormonal, neurological, and metabolic development, especially during key stages such as pregnancy, early childhood, and puberty. In this book, pediatrician and pediatric endocrinologist Diego López de Lara offers a clear, rigorous, and accessible guide to understanding what these compounds are, how they act in the body, and why childhood is a particularly vulnerable period. Far from being alarmist, the author combines up-to-date scientific evidence with a human perspective as both a doctor and a father. Throughout these pages you will discover where the main disruptors are in everyday life, what effects they can have on your children's development, what science says for sure and what aspects are still under debate, and, above all, what practical measures can be applied at home without turning parenting into an impossible race towards perfection.
