Description
Summary:Hormones play a surprisingly important role in all we hold dear: love, sex, health, success, long life and, even, chocolate. But our body's chemical messengers can be to blame for all sorts of trouble - from bad behavior in teenagers to male violence and the unpredictable nature of women. This 3-part series explores the good, the bad and the very surprising power of hormones through the ordinary people who are hostage to them and the scientists who can unravel some of the mysteries of our body chemistry. This episode looks at how modern life can often conflict with the changes caused by hormones. Lifestyles are very different now but our hormones haven't moved on since the Stone Age.
