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 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 disrupting the body’s ability to produce adequate quantities of hormones or by interfering 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
