This title is extremely editorialized. I encourage readers to actually assess the evidence in the journal article: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;pubs.acs.org&amp;#x2F;doi&amp;#x2F;suppl&amp;#x2F;10.1021&amp;#x2F;acs.est.9b02226&amp;#x2F;suppl_file&amp;#x2F;es9b02226_si_001.pdf&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;pubs.acs.org&amp;#x2F;doi&amp;#x2F;suppl&amp;#x2F;10.1021&amp;#x2F;acs.est.9b02226&amp;#x2F;suppl...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;1) It&amp;#x27;s important to note that the article title is actually: Flame retardant may cause hyperthyroidism in cats&lt;p&gt;2) Of note, they determined that a p-value of &amp;lt;0.10 was considered statistically significant, and of the studied compounds TDCIPP was the only one with significant odds ratio of exposure being associated with hyperthyroidism in cats (1.36, p value = 0.059).&lt;p&gt;3) Look. Organophosphates are probably one of those things that we should continue studying in detail. They seem more trouble than they&amp;#x27;re worth. But I don&amp;#x27;t think I&amp;#x27;d hang my hat on this study alone.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Flame retardant may cause hyperthyroidism in cats</title><url>https://phys.org/news/2019-08-flame-retardant-hyperthyroidism-cats.html#:~:text=An%20epidemic%20of%20cats%20with,in%2010%20cats%20are%20afflicted.</url></story>

I always hear that level of chemical is so low it has no negative effect on a person. But you add up all the low levels of toxic chemicals and they add up to something significant! Pesticides, detergents, personal products such as perfumes, hair dye, make-up.. oh gosh. The list goes on.  People are drenching themselves in chemicals then take pills to mask the effects.&lt;p&gt;And its expensive to avoid these things, my family of three spend about 2K per month on food alone trying to eat healthy. Nothing extravagant, fruits, vegetables, and organic when it matters. Sure we could live on $400 with highly processed or fast food... but you feel terrible afterword.  The longer you stay away from them the more sensitive you are to toxic food.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Flame retardant may cause hyperthyroidism in cats</title><url>https://phys.org/news/2019-08-flame-retardant-hyperthyroidism-cats.html#:~:text=An%20epidemic%20of%20cats%20with,in%2010%20cats%20are%20afflicted.</url></story>
