Toxic Load

Our toxic world is often discounted by the majority as being irrelevant to their health. Yet science has repeatedly shown that dangers lurk in items as innocuous as personal care and household products we use daily without a thought. Below are just a few of the sites which report on such issues. The solution? Purchase products that do not have contaminants and harmful ingredients in them.

Toxins/carcinogens/ and teratogens (which negatively impact the foetus) are causing low sperm count, smaller genitals, and hypospadius in boys and defective ovaries in girls (which do not regularly produce eggs and thus progesterone balance), resulting in estrogen dominance and propensity towards weight gain, PMS, heavy periods, infertility, mood swings, diabetes and cancer - even at young ages.
