A Harvard University study determined that high blood levels of obesogens – better known as perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), a prevalent class of persistent chemicals – were linked with increased weight gains during latter parts of diets. According to its results, women were more vulnerable to PFA-connected obesity than men. The research team came from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and … Continue reading PFAs, chemicals commonly found in household and everyday items, found to interfere with metabolism and body weight
Estrogen-like compounds in soy-based baby formula found to cause changes in reproductive health
Parents might give their infants soy-based formula because of a lactose intolerance, milk allergies, or other feeding problems, but a new study shows this could be a case of trading one problem for another. According to research that was published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, infants who consume soy-based formula undergo changes in their … Continue reading Estrogen-like compounds in soy-based baby formula found to cause changes in reproductive health
GENDER-CONFUSED: Shocking study reveals 86% of teenagers’ bodies contaminated with gender-bending chemicals from plastics
A few years ago, a lot of attention was focused on the dangers of Bisphenol A (BPA), an organic synthetic compound found in plastic. Mothers with babies were especially cautioned to ensure that their baby bottles did not contain BPA. We all dutifully bought new BPA-free bottles, and many parents have since conscientiously ensured that their … Continue reading GENDER-CONFUSED: Shocking study reveals 86% of teenagers’ bodies contaminated with gender-bending chemicals from plastics
Study: BPA destroys sperm
Results from a five-year trial on the effects of bisphenol-A (BPA) in human males has revealed that the popular plastics chemical destroys sperm. One of the few BPA studies involving humans, the trial sheds more light on the obvious harm BPA causes on male reproduction, and the need to immediately remove the chemical from from … Continue reading Study: BPA destroys sperm
Roundup is endocrine-disrupting, cancer-causing toxin at parts per trillion levels; GM soybeans also linked to causing cancer
The journal Food and Chemical Toxicology (FCT) has accepted for publication a new study that links exposure to Monsanto's Roundup herbicide, the active ingredient of which is glyphosate, to severe endocrine disruption and breast cancer. And the worst part is that the chemical was found to elicit these and other harmful effects at virtually imperceptible levels in the … Continue reading Roundup is endocrine-disrupting, cancer-causing toxin at parts per trillion levels; GM soybeans also linked to causing cancer
However you “identify,” there are only two types of brains: male and female
By natural design, gender is binary, indicated by XX and XY chromosomes and reinforced by the brain’s own wiring. Scientists at the NYU School of Medicine confirm that there are two types of brains, male and female, and they are wired distinctively different in regards to aggression and mating. By nature, male and female brains are not … Continue reading However you “identify,” there are only two types of brains: male and female
Despite Known Dangers, BPA Continues to Taint Food Supply
Source: Despite Known Dangers, BPA Continues to Taint Food Supply by Dr. Edward Group BPA, or bisphenol-A, is an endocrine disruptor you’ve heard me mention before. It’s been shown to mimic hormones in the body–namely estrogen–and contribute to hormone imbalance. These dangers have been known for a long time. You’d think that spawn change to eliminate the … Continue reading Despite Known Dangers, BPA Continues to Taint Food Supply
97% of tested mac and cheese products found to contain chemicals used in plastics, rubber, coatings, adhesives, sealants and printing inks
Phthalates are everywhere. They can be found in plastic food containers, coatings, printing inks, household products, packaged foods, and personal-care products. Phthalates act as binding agents and make plastics softer and more flexible. New studies on the dangerous impacts of phthalates on our health seem to come out every week. Given their hormone- or endocrine-disrupting … Continue reading 97% of tested mac and cheese products found to contain chemicals used in plastics, rubber, coatings, adhesives, sealants and printing inks
Obsession with killing microorganisms is dangerous for humans and planet, scientist warns
Using products with antimicrobial chemicals must be a great way to protect your health. After all, you're killing loads of germs while you wash your body and clean your house -- and that's a good thing, right? Not according to biologist and engineer Rolf Halden of the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University. In fact, … Continue reading Obsession with killing microorganisms is dangerous for humans and planet, scientist warns
BPA alternative in plastics disrupts brain cell growth, triggers hyperactivity
In order to make plastics pliable and thermal receipt paper printable, certain chemicals have to be added to the mix that a growing body of research shows can damage the human endocrine system and cause other serious health damage. And some of the latest research on this subject warns that a popular alternative to bisphenol … Continue reading BPA alternative in plastics disrupts brain cell growth, triggers hyperactivity
