It Has Been Reported that the EPA has Found Synthetic Hormone Disrupting Chemicals in Shampoo, Preservatives, Hair Coloring Agents, Sunscreens, Fragrances, and Pharmaceuticals.

 

Natural Skin Care, Are the bath and beauty Products making you FAT?

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently reported that they have found synthetic hormone-disrupting chemicals in shampoo, preservatives, hair coloring agents, sunscreens, fragrances, and pharmaceuticals. These chemicals are washed into our water every day.

There are 80,000 plus chemicals used in products, just a tiny fraction were ever fully tested for toxicity, let alone for their hormone interference potential.

Be aware that the phrases “no known toxicity” or “no known health effects” do not necessarily mean that a substance is harmless.

 

Endocrine disruptors

The U.S. EPA states that all parabens – methyl, propyl, butyl — have been proven to have endocrine-disrupting effects.

Endocrine disruptors are chemical substances, primarily man-made synthetics, that interfere with the function of the endocrine system.

 

Hormone Mimics

These chemicals mimic, block, or disrupt the actions of human (and animal) hormones and, unexpectedly, do more damage at low levels of exposure than at high levels.

They disrupt the body’s ability to produce adequate quantities of hormones or interfere with the body’s hormonal pathways.

When you rub body care products on your body or hair dye on your scalp you can absorb or inhale synthetic chemicals that contain endocrine disruptors which may send false signals to your body’s endocrine glands.

Whatever chemicals aren’t absorbed by your body are washed down the drain into our drinking water supply

We are exposed when we drink the water and eat fish contaminated by personal care product chemicals.

The U.S. government has found sunscreen chemicals in fish and human breast milk.

Endocrine disruptors are stored in a body’s fatty tissues and do not get flushed out with water, thus they accumulate over the years.

 

Natural Skin Care, Poor Health

It is now recognized that the dramatic increases of breast cancer, non-Hodgkins lymphoma, and thyroid cancer have been linked to exposure to environmental estrogens.

How are these Endocrine disruptors affecting your metabolism and your body’s ability to burn fat?

Read every ingredient on every personal care product label and be suspicious of every chemical ingredient.

Ask yourself if you would eat that ingredient because, when you rub products onto your body, 60% of the product may end up in your body.

True organic products are made from real organic foods.
