Environmental Estrogens
We are constantly assaulted by estrogens in our environmentfrom the
food we eat to the chemicals we use or are exposed to. Estrogen in the form
of chemicals (xenoestrogens), or foods and plants (phytoestrogens: soy
beans, tofu, tempeh, soy beverages, linseed (flax) etc.), mimic the action of
estrogen produced in cells and can alter hormonal activity. Synthetic xenoe
strogens are widely used industrial compounds, such as PCBs, BPA and
phthalates, which have estrogenic effects on a living organism even though
they differ chemically from the estrogenic substances prodauced internally
by the endocrine system of any organism.
Problems Caused by Environmental estrogens may
Include:
girls and boys beginning puberty too early, which can lead to health problems
later in life
other health issues in men including hair loss, atherosclerosis, prostate problems,
lowered libido, and impotency
Solutions
Use
a high-quality water filter in your home
organically grown whole foods
hormone-free meats and dairy products
glass or ceramics for storing food
a simple laundry and dish detergent with less chemicals
organic soaps and toothpastes
natural skincare products
naturally-based perfumes (most perfumes are petro-chemically
based\
Household Cleaning Agents
After bubbly cleaning liquids disappear down our drains, they are
treated along with sewage and other waste water at municipal treatment
plants, and then discharged into nearby waterways. Most ingredients in
chemical cleaners break down into harmless substances during
treatment or soon afterward. Others, however, do not, threatening water
quality or fish and other wildlife.
Toxic metal poisons are all around us and you need to actively avoid
toxic metal exposure. However, total avoidance can be a very tricky
proposition- the stuff is everywhere. Detoxify and cleanse your
body to reduce the toxins that affect your health.
