Ladies, Are You Putting 168 Chemicals on Your Body everyday ?? Could be..

American women put 168 chemicals on their bodies each day, according to a non profit group.

The 98-page bill includes a system of registering personal care companies, their products and their ingredients, and it would require the FDA to review five chemicals that appear generally in personal care products each year to evaluate their safety. The first set of chemicals will likely be diazolidinyl urea, lead acetate, methylene glycol/formaldehyde, propyl paraben, quaternium-15, according to Feinstein’s office. Good thing I don't wear make up... LOL 

I wanna know !! 

Crap, What next ?? 24,000 chemicals tainting your bottled water..

Tap water is by no means something to reach for when looking to achieve optimal health (check this out to see why that is). But unfortunately, the common alternative of bottled water isn’t really much better. Not only does the massive amount of plastic used to produce bottled water desecrate our lands and oceans, but research has actually found bottled water to harness thousands of health-destructive chemicals. German researchers have discovered endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in water bottles that could adversely affect development and reproduction. In fact, there are 24,520 suspect chemicals found to be present in 18 different water bottle brands that could be wreaking your health.
These endocrine disruptors chemicals can interfere with the hormone system, they can cause cancerous tumors, birth defects, cardiovascular disorders, metabolic disorders and as mentioned earlier,  other developmental disorders.

Do you love coffee or know someone who does? ‘Tis the season for the fanciest possible version of everything, and your hot beverage is no exception.

Places like Starbucks have taken flavored coffees to  whole new level. At my local grocery store, there’s an entire refrigerated unit dedicated to decadent flavored creamers. Unfortunately, those creamers are rife with chemicals, including artificial flavors and neurotoxins like aspartame and sucralose.  You certainly aren’t giving someone a “treat” by putting that stuff in their coffee. Here’s the list of ingredients for Coffeemate’s Hazelnut Creamer:

WATER, SUGAR, PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED SOYBEAN AND/OR COTTONSEED OIL, AND LESS THAN 2% OF SODIUM CASEINATE (A MILK DERIVATIVE)**, MONO- AND DIGLYCERIDES, DIPOTASSIUM PHOSPHATE, COLOR ADDED, CELLULOSE GEL, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS, CELLULOSE GUM, CARRAGEENAN, DEXTROSE.

Sooooo….there’s no actual cream involved, nor is there any hazelnut mentioned in that chemistry project.  Yum.

Why We're Losing the War on Cancer

CAN PESTICIDE RESIDUE STRENGTHEN YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM?

Hey, Marco here and I'm not buyin' it! But then again, what do I know? Christie Wilcox explains that a little bit of pesticide exposure can actually be good for you.


While it might seem that decreasing exposure to pesticides in any way could only be good for you, toxicologists would differ. Contrary to what you might think, lower exposure isn’t necessarily better. It’s what’s known as hormesis, or a hormetic dose response curve. There is evidence that exposure to most chemicals at doses significantly below danger thresholds, even pesticides, is beneficial when compared to no exposure at all. Why? Read on...

Pesticides...

AGENT ORANGE AND OUR FOOD! Mommy?

Agent Orange, which is notorious for causing cancer, birth defects, infertility, diabetes, and hypertension in our service men and women, is now slated to be used on our food crops. Thanks to Dow Chemical, this nasty chemical agent is now being considered the “new” weed killer of choice. As if Roundup wasn’t enough – now we are being exposed to a chemical weapon that inflicted such misery in Vietnam to both the citizens and the veterans of that war.

New Junk Science Study Dismisses Nutritional Value of Organic Foods

Hey, it's Marco! Well, apparently organic foods are no more nutritious than food laced with pesticides and chemicals. I get it.. Really, I do. As I see it, an apple is an apple, right? Organic or not. I just prefer my apples without a side of pesticide. That's it. Plain and simple. However, what the study stated was that the researchers didn’t find “significant” or “robust” differences in nutritional content between organic and conventional foods, though they found that organic food had 30% less pesticide residue. Even though the pesticide levels fall within the safety guidelines set by the Environmental Protection Agency, it should be noted that the health effects of the pesticides are cumulative, and that what we would consider safe might not align with the EPA! For example, herbicide residue on GMO crops may be causing fertility problems. Organophosphate exposure can lead to pre-term births, and both ADHD and lower IQs in children, according to several studies from leading universities... You know, I've studied the human body (Can you say Megan Fox!) for quite some time, and I've yet to find one part that is made of a drug or a pesticide!

Organic sucks!

Human Hormones Are Being Eclipsed By Synthetic Chemicals

Hey, it's Marco! A new study published in the Journal of Applied Toxicology has raised some disturbing possibilities regarding the dangers of common hormone-mimicking preservatives found in thousands of consumer products on the market today.
     Titled "Parabens detection in different zones of the human breast: consideration of source and implications of findings," researchers discussed the role that parabens -- a class of estrogen-mimicking chemicals widely used in drugs, foods and cosmetics -- may have in breast cancer and childhood disease.
