Several chemicals have been implicated in the development of osteoporosis. These include:
Cadmium: Long-term exposure to cadmium, often through contaminated food and water, can lead to bone demineralization and increased fracture risk. Lead: Lead exposure, particularly in childhood, can interfere with bone development and contribute to osteoporosis later in life. Phthalates: Commonly found in plastics, these chemicals can disrupt endocrine function, potentially affecting bone density. Bisphenol A (BPA): Another endocrine disruptor, BPA exposure has been linked to adverse effects on bone health.
