TOXINS IN OUR ENVIRONMENT
The first book introducing endocrine disruptors -- chemicals that wreak havoc on our endocrine system, including metabolism, thyroid, and most notable our reproduction system. Many endocrine disruptors are also called "obesogens" - because they CAUSE obesity. Others are called "gender benders" because they mimic estrogen or androgen and have seriously affected the number and quality of male sperm and have caused birth defects in male babies.
This book provides and excellent overview of the scientific literature on endocrine disruptors.
This book, written by an investigative journalist, Loregga Schwartz-Nobel,
informs the public about numerous chemicals in the American environment and politics of why those chemicals were allowed as well as the health disasters that ensued. For example, she talks about cancer clusters,
Author Nena Baker details the uses of contemporary chemicals in our environment, including flame retardants, plasticizers, pesticides, stain and oil repellants, and others, and then describes the devastating health effects of these chemicals globally,
DETOXING
Chemicals in our environment are so pervasive that it is no surprise that they have ended up in our bodies. It has become such a problem, however, that there is now a phrase to describe this phenomenon -- Body Burden -- because every person on the planet carries dozens, if not hundreds of chemicals in our bodies. It is imperative that we take the time to detox, which can be done! Chelating these chemicals can lessen the symptoms of diseases and sometimes even cure them!
