Zahnputztabs schäumen nicht, machen nicht sauber oder schmecken nicht, das sind nur einige Vorurteile gegenüber der Alternative zur Zahnpasta. 1907 kam die erste Zahnpastatube auf den Markt. Jedes Jahr landen weltweit rund 20 Milliarden Zahnpastatuben aus Plastik im Müll. Das ist aber nicht das Einzige, was nicht ganz ideal ist: Wir sprechen heute viel über kritisch zu sehende Inhaltsstoffe wie Fluorid, Natriumlaurylsulfat (SLS), Titandioxid, Triclosan, Carrageenan, künstliche Süßstoffe, synthetische Farbstoffe, mit denen wir uns täglich die Zähne putzen & warum wir diese ein für alle Mal aus unserem Badezimmer verdammen sollten. Eine Alternative hat unser heutiger Gast, Norbert Richard Meinike, zusammen mit Heber Gonzalez geschaffen, die 2020 die Zahnputztabs 2.0 auf den Markt gebracht haben: Natch. Sie setzen auf natürliche Zahnpflege ohne Giftstoffe, sind PETA zertifiziert & vegan. Norbert erklärt uns heute, warum es ihnen wichtig ist ihre Lieferanten zu kennen & wie Inhaltsstoffe wie Calcium Hydroxylapatit, Xylit oder Seifenrindenbaum nicht nur natürlich sind, sondern auch jeweils mehrere Vorteile mit sich bringen & warum das Start Up Nachhaltigkeit ganzheitlich betrachtet. Norbert hat an der Europäische Fernhochschule in Herford studiert & bisher im Marketing bei verschiedenen Unternehmen gearbeitet. Außerdem hat er mehrere Onlineshops ins Leben gerufen, bevor er sich Natch widmete.

Modern life can be pretty toxic at times. The focus on extending shelf life of products can lead to the addition of harmul chemicals. Not to mention that coloring or straightening, injecting our faces and so on just really involve chemicals to work as they do. The average woman uses 12 different beauty products every day. This means that you can absorb many endocrine and hormone disrupters without knowing it. In terms of fertility concerns specifically, EDCs have been linked with reproductive development disorders, ovarian dysfunction, subfertility, and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) in women. Case in point: a study published online Dec. 3, 2019, by the International Journal of Cancer found a link between hair dye and breast cancer. Women in the study who used permanent hair dye at least once in the 12 months leading up to the study had a 9% higher risk of developing breast cancer than women who didn't use hair dye. Harmful additives like Parabens, Toluene, Triclosan, Phthalates and lead are just some of many to look for. In today's session we dive into harmful ingredients and their aliases. Its easy to turn a blind eye to this kind of thing. However, if you are at a point where you feel like nothing is working and/or you just want to take charge and do everything you can, then listen in.You'll Learn: What is an EDC (endocrine distrupting chemical)Harmful chemicals commonly found in beauty products Research supporting the link between certain chemicals and infertility Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

Understanding our genetics plays a significant role in how effectively we can detoxify our bodies. Our genetics not only defines our physical characteristics but also shapes how our bodies manage and eliminate toxins. Such genetic influence permeates every aspect of our detoxification mechanisms, affecting the effectiveness of processes such as sweating, breathing, bowel movements, and urination. When I encounter patients who are dealing with various health issues, such as chronic inflammation, particularly in cases like breast implant illness, it often ties back to the liver and kidney's ability to manage toxins. Today's episode holds such significant importance as we will explore the vital role these organs play in detoxification and delve deeper into the impact of various toxins, including heavy metals, mold toxins, and environmental toxins like glyphosates, on our overall well-being. How Environmental Factors Impact Detoxification and Overall Health The breast implant may contribute to chronic inflammation in a person, but their ability to manage detoxification, environmental factors like their location or environmental surroundings, air quality, water sources, and dietary choices play a significant role in shaping their health. That is why when I assess my patients, I pay close attention to their inflammatory symptoms, especially in the nervous system, where signs like brain fog, memory issues, and neuropathic pain can manifest. These inflammatory symptoms are particularly concerning in younger individuals, especially those with children. The adverse effects are not limited solely to neurological symptoms like brain fog and memory issues. They encompass a wide array of discomforts, including conditions such as dry eyes, persistent coughing, moments of breathlessness, sensations of chest tightness or discomfort, and a spectrum of digestive issues like heartburn, acid reflux, constipation, and diarrhea. Additionally, individuals may experience musculoskeletal pain, with persistent aches and discomfort in their joints and muscles. Fortunately, I've learned to understand how each person detoxifies by listening to their experiences, conducting genetic testing, and assessing their symptoms over many years. This helps me formulate a comprehensive view of their individual health and how they manage detoxification. Toxins in Mold Exposure and their Effects on Health In our office, we have a few methods to support our findings. Personally, I'm interested in conducting a urine tox test, which can reveal substances like mycotoxins, heavy metals, and environmental contaminants. The tox test report encompasses a range of toxins, and individuals with significant mold exposure might show the presence of toxins like aflatoxin, beta-one, alpha toxin, and M-one. There are also various other mycotoxins, such as ochratoxin, which is sometimes found in wine, with varying regulations in the United States and Europe. As such, people sensitive to mold and ochratoxin can face challenges when consuming wine. Heavy Metal Exposure and Detoxification in Patients with Implants Heavy metals that may be found in patient's test results include aluminum, beryllium, gadolinium, nickel, platinum, antimony, bismuth, cadmium, lead, mercury, thallium, thorium, tungsten, and uranium. These metals could be acquired through environmental exposure. Ongoing research exists about whether medical devices like hip, knee, or breast implants might contribute to metal exposure. In some cases, devices like knee or hip implants can result in what's called "poly wear." Notably, urine tests conducted after the removal of such devices, as in the case of explanted patients, have shown significant improvements in heavy metal levels, even before engaging in a detox program. However, some heavy metals, like beryllium, might linger, warranting further investigation. Taking thorium as an example, it is used in the production of welding rods, firebrick, camera and telescope lenses, gas lantern mantles, ceramics, aerospace industry materials, and nuclear reactions. Thorium has also been employed as a contrast agent in medical procedures, but it is associated with various side effects and symptoms related to hematologic, pulmonary hypertension, fibrosis, and respiratory issues. In addition to assessing food sensitivities through testing like GI maps and examining hormone levels and other bloodwork, I find it highly valuable to complement this with urine toxicity tests and genetics analysis. This comprehensive approach helps clarify the information I gather during patient interviews and allows us to create a comprehensive overview of why patients are experiencing their symptoms, with a particular focus on understanding their exposure to toxins. Additionally, with respect to toxicity assessment, it's worth noting that I've encountered some unusual cases, such as exposure to triclosan. Understanding the chemical components in products we use daily is crucial. Triclosan is present in various consumer products like toothpaste, detergents, toys, and antibacterial wet wipes. Additionally, herbicides like Atrazine and Glyphosates, the latter being a systemic herbicide and crop desiccant, also warrant attention. Exposure to these substances can occur through food, skin absorption, or inhalation in areas where they are used. Comprehensive assessments, including genetic analysis, toxicity profiles, food sensitivities, gut microbiome status, hormone levels, and other bloodwork are vital. Such a holistic approach enables us to gain a deep understanding of the root causes of patients' symptoms, providing a foundation for developing effective treatment plans, which may include surgery in cases like explant procedures, and overall strategies for improving their well-being.

Since March is autoimmune disease awareness month, I thought it would be a good idea to give you more information about how autoimmune disease is developed and exacerbated. Today I talk about 3 environmental factors that you can be working on now to help protect yourself from autoimmune and even cancer. I tell you small changes you can make with your cosmetics & skincare products, your water, and plastic storage containers. Here is the list of the TOP MOST TOXIC ingredients to look for in your cosmetics: Benzalkonium Chloride A disinfectant used as a preservative and surfactant associated with severe skin, eye, and respiratory irritation and allergies. Found in: sunscreens, moisturizers. Butylatedhydroxy Anisole and Butylated Hydroxytoluene Synthetic antioxidants used to extend shelf life. They are likely carcinogens and hormone disruptors and may cause liver damage. Found in: lipsticks, moisturizers, diaper creams, and other cosmetics. Coal tar hair dyes and other coal tar ingredients A byproduct of coal processing that is a known carcinogen. It is used as a colorant and an anti-dandruff agent. Found in: hair dye, shampoo. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) A chelating (binding) agent added to cosmetics to improve stability. May be toxic to organs. Found in: hair color, moisturizers. Ethanolamines (MEA/DEA/TEA) Surfactants and pH adjuster linked to allergies, skin toxicity, hormone disruption, and inhibited fetal brain development. Found in: hair dyes, mascara, foundation, fragrances, sunscreens, dry cleaning solvents, paint, pharmaceuticals. Formaldehyde Used as a preservative in cosmetics. A known carcinogen that is also linked to asthma, neurotoxicity, and developmental toxicity. Present where quaternium-15, DMDM hydantoin, imidazolidinyl urea, diazolidinyl urea, sodium hydroxymethylglycinate, 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3 diol (Bronopol), and several other preservatives are listed. Found in: shampoo, body wash, bubble bath. Hydroquinone A skin-lightening chemical that inhibits the production of melanin and is linked to cancer, organ toxicity, and skin irritation. Found in: skin-lightening creams. Methylisothiazolinone and methylchloroisothiazolinone Chemical preservatives that are among the most common irritants, sensitizers, and causes of contact skin allergies. Found in: shampoo, conditioner, body wash. Oxybenzone Sunscreen agent and ultraviolet light absorber linked to irritation, sensitization and allergies, and possible hormone disruption. Found in: sunscreen, moisturizer. Parabens (methyl-, isobutyl-, propyl- and others) A class of preservatives commonly used to prevent the growth of bacteria and mold. Parabens are endocrine (or hormone) disruptors, which may alter important hormone mechanisms in our bodies. Found in: shampoo, face cleanser, body wash, body lotion, foundation. Phthalates (DBP, DEHP, DEP and others) A class of plasticizing chemicals used to make products more pliable or to make fragrances stick to skin. Phthalates disrupt the endocrine system and may cause birth defects. Found in: synthetic fragrance, nail polish, hairspray, and plastic materials. Polyethylene glycol (PEG compounds) PEGs are widely used in cosmetics as thickeners, solvents, softeners, and moisture-carriers. Depending on manufacturing processes, PEGs may be contaminated with measurable amounts of ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane, which are both carcinogens. Found in: creams, sunscreen, shampoo. Retinyl palmitate (Vitamin A Palmitate) Retinyl palmitate is an ingredient composed of palmitic acid and retinol (Vitamin A). Data from an FDA study indicate that retinyl palmitate, when applied to the skin in the presence of sunlight, may result in adverse health consequences like lesions and photosensitization. FDA, Norwegian and German health agencies have raised a concern that daily skin application of vitamin A creams may contribute to excessive vitamin A intake for pregnant women and other populations. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS and SLES) SLS and SLES are surfactants that can cause skin irritation or trigger allergies. SLES is often contaminated with 1,4-dioxane, a byproduct of a petrochemical process called ethoxylation, which is used to process other chemicals in order to make them less harsh. Found in: shampoo, body wash, bubble bath. Synthetic flavor or fragrance An engineered scent or flavoring agent that may contain any combination of 3,000-plus stock chemical ingredients, including hormone disruptors and allergens. Fragrance formulas are protected under federal law's classification of trade secrets and therefore can remain undisclosed. Found in: all types of cosmetics. Toluene A volatile petrochemical solvent that is toxic to the immune system and can cause birth defects. Found in: nail polish. Triclosan and Triclocarban Antimicrobial pesticides toxic to the aquatic environment; may also impact human reproductive systems. Found in: liquid soap, soap bars, toothpaste. **This information came from the Beautycounter website.

In this episode, we dive into the world of female hormone disruptors and how they can harm your body, steal your vitality, and impact your health. Hormone disruptors are chemicals that interfere with the natural functioning of hormones in your body. These chemicals are commonly found in personal care products, plastics, and even our food. Marsha explains how these chemicals can mimic or block hormones, leading to a host of negative health effects. We also discuss the various ways hormone disruptors can affect fertility, menstrual cycles, and even impact the health of future generations. This episode offers valuable insights and tips for reducing your exposure to hormone disruptors and promoting a healthy, hormone-balanced lifestyle. Join us as we explore this important topic and uncover the hidden dangers of poison in disguise. Some common Disruptors: Bisphenol A (BPA): commonly found in plastics, food can linings, and thermal paper receipts. Phthalates: found in cosmetics, fragrances, and plastic products. Dioxins: pollutants produced during combustion processes and industrial activities. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs): industrial chemicals that were once used in electrical equipment and as additives in plastics and paints. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA): a chemical used in the manufacture of non-stick coatings and stain-resistant fabrics. Atrazine: a herbicide used in agriculture. Organophosphate pesticides: a class of pesticides commonly used in agriculture. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs): flame retardants found in electronics, furniture, and building materials. Triclosan: an antimicrobial agent found in many personal care products. Parabens: preservatives commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products.
Video: Scientist Carl Sagan testifying to the U.S. Senate in 1985 on the greenhouse effect: (2:00) WEF: The Most Evil Business in the World – Samuel Leeds (10:49) Israel caught hiding BOMBSHELL Pfizer Frequent nut consumption associated with less inflammation Brigham and Women's Hospital, September 1, 2022 In a study of more than 5,000 people, investigators from Brigham and Women's Hospital have found that greater intake of nuts was associated with lower levels of biomarkers of inflammation, a finding that may help explain the healthbenefits of nuts. The results of the study appear in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. “Population studies have consistently supported a protective role of nuts against cardiometabolic disorders such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, and we know that inflammation is a key process in the development of these diseases,” said corresponding author Ying Bao, MD, ScD, an epidemiologist in BWH's Channing Division of Network Medicine. “Our new work suggests that nuts may exert their beneficial effects in part by reducing systemic inflammation.” Previously Bao and her colleagues observed an association between increased nut consumption and reduced risk of major chronic diseases and even death, but few prospective cohort studies had examined the link between nut intake and inflammation. In the current study, the research team performed a cross-sectional analysis of data from the Nurses' Health Study, which includes more than 120,000 female registered nurses, and from the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study, which includes more than 50,000 male health professionals. The team assessed diet using questionnaires and looked at the levels of certain telltale proteins known as biomarkers in blood samples collected from the study participants. They measured three well-established biomarkers of inflammation: C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin 6 (IL6) and tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (TNFR2). After adjusting for age, medical history, lifestyle and other variables, they found that participants who had consumed five or more servings of nuts per week had lower levels of CRP and IL6 than those who never or almost never ate nuts. In addition, people who substituted three servings per week of nuts in place of red meat, processed meat, eggs or refined grains had significantly lower levels of CRP and IL6. Peanuts and tree nuts contain a number of healthful components including magnesium, fiber, L-arginine, antioxidants and unsaturated fatty acids such as α-linolenic acid. Researchers have not yet determined which of these components, or if the combination of all of them, may offer protection against inflammation, but Bao and her colleagues are interested in exploring this further through clinical trials that would regulate and monitor diet. “Much remains unknown about how our diet influences inflammation and, in turn, our risk of disease,” said Bao. “But our study supports an overall healthful role for nuts in the diet and suggests reducing inflammation as a potential mechanism that may help explain the benefits of nuts on cardiometabolic diseases.” Blueberry extract could help fight gum disease and reduce antibiotic use Laval University (Quebec), September 2, 2022 Gum disease is a common condition among adults that occurs when bacteria form biofilms or plaques on teeth, and consequently the gums become inflamed. Some severe cases, called periodontitis, call for antibiotics. But now scientists have discovered that wild blueberry extract could help prevent dental plaque formation. Their report in ACS' Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry could lead to a new therapy for periodontitis and a reduced need for antibiotics. Many people have had some degree of gum inflammation, or gingivitis, caused by dental plaque. The gums get red and swollen, and they bleed easily. If left unchecked, the condition can progress to periodontitis. The plaque hardens into tartar, and the infection can spread below the gum line and destroy the tissue supporting the teeth. To treat this condition, dentists scrape off the tartar and sometimes have to resort to conventional antibiotics. But recently, researchers have started looking at natural antibacterial compounds to treat gum disease. Daniel Grenier and colleagues wanted to see if blueberry polyphenols, which work against foodborne pathogens, could also help fight Fusobacterium nucleatum, one of the main species of bacteria associated with periodontitis. In the lab, the researchers tested extracts from the wild lowbush blueberry, Vaccinium angustifolium Ait., against F. nucleatum. The polyphenol-rich extracts successfully inhibited the growth of F. nucleatum, as well as its ability to form biofilms. It also blocked a molecular pathway involved in inflammation, a key part of gum disease. The researchers say they're developing an oral device that could slowly release the extract after deep cleaning to help treat periodontitis. Meat consumption contributing to global obesity University of Adelaide, August 11, 2022 Should we be warning consumers about over-consumption of meat as well as sugar? That's the question being raised by a team of researchers from the University of Adelaide, who say meat in the modern diet offers surplus energy, and is contributing to the prevalence of global obesity. “Our findings are likely to be controversial because they suggest that meat contributes to obesity prevalence worldwide at the same extent as sugar,” says Professor Maciej Henneberg. “In the analysis of obesity prevalence across 170 countries, we have found that sugar availability in a nation explains 50% of obesity variation while meat availability another 50%. After correcting for differences in nations' wealth (Gross Domestic Product), calorie consumption, levels of urbanization and of physical inactivity, which are all major contributors to obesity, sugar availability remained an important factor, contributing independently 13%, while meat contributed another 13% to obesity. “While we believe it's important that the public should be alert to the over-consumption of sugar and some fats in their diets, based on our findings we believe meat protein in the human diet is also making a significant contribution to obesity,” Professor Henneberg says. “There is a dogma that fats and carbohydrates, especially fats, are the major factors contributing to obesity,” Mr You says. “Whether we like it or not, fats and carbohydrates in modern diets are supplying enough energy to meet our daily needs. Because meat protein is digested later than fats and carbohydrates, this makes the energy we receive from protein a surplus, which is then converted and stored as fat in the human body.” “Nevertheless, it is important that we show the contribution meat protein is making to obesity so that we can better understand what is happening. In the modern world in which we live, in order to curb obesity it may make sense for dietary guidelines to advise eating less meat, as well as eating less sugar,” he says. Study suggests possible link between artificial sweeteners and heart disease French National Institute for Health and Medical Research, September 7, 2022 A large study of French adults published by The BMJ today suggests a potential direct association between higher artificial sweetener consumption and increased cardiovascular disease risk, including heart attack and stroke. The findings indicate that these food additives, consumed daily by millions of people and present in thousands of foods and drinks, should not be considered a healthy and safe alternative to sugar, in line with the current position of several health agencies. Artificial sweeteners are widely used as no- or low-calorie alternatives to sugar. They represent a $7.2 billion (£5900m; €7000m) global market and are found in thousands of products worldwide, particularly ultra-processed foods such as artificially sweetened drinks, some snacks, and low calorie ready meals. Several studies have linked consumption of artificial sweeteners or artificially sweetened beverages (ASB) to weight gain, high blood pressure, and inflammation. To investigate this further, a team of researchers at the French National Institute for Health and Medical Research (Inserm) and colleagues drew on data for 103,388 participants (average age 42 years; 80% female) of the web-based NutriNet-Santé study, launched in France in 2009 to investigate relations between nutrition and health. Dietary intakes and consumption of artificial sweeteners were assessed by repeated 24-hour dietary records and a range of potentially influential health, lifestyle, and sociodemographic factors were taken into account. A total of 37% of participants consumed artificial sweeteners, with an average intake of 42.46 mg/day, which corresponds to approximately one individual packet of table top sweetener or 100 mL of diet soda. The researchers found that total artificial sweetener intake was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (absolute rate 346 per 100,000 person years in higher consumers and 314 per 100,000 person years in non-consumers). Artificial sweeteners were more particularly associated with cerebrovascular disease risk (absolute rates 195 and 150 per 100,000 person-years in higher and non-consumers, respectively). Aspartame intake was associated with increased risk of cerebrovascular events (186 and 151 per 100,000 person-years in higher and non-consumers, respectively), while acesulfame potassium and sucralose were associated with increased coronary heart disease risk (acesulfame potassium: 167 and 164 per 100,000 person-years; sucralose: 271 and 161 per 100,000 person-years in higher and non-consumers, respectively). Your soap and toothpaste could be messing with your microbiome University of Chicago, September 2, 2022 Antimicrobial chemicals found in common household products could be wreaking havoc with people's guts, according to a research paper out this week in the journal Science. Triclosan is an antibacterial compound used in soaps, detergent and toothpaste, as well as toys and plastics. It was originally only used in hospitals, but it found its way into homes as Americans became more germ-phobic. (However, recent studies have found it no more effective at killing bacteria than plain soap. ) Now, there are growing concerns about the possible negative effects of the chemical on human health and the environment. According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), animal studies have shown that the chemical can act as a hormone disruptor. A 2008 study found traces of triclosan in the urine of 75% of the participants – some as young as six. The chemical has also been found in more than half of freshwater streams in the US. Disturbing the human microbiome has been “linked to a wide array of diseases and metabolic disorders, including obesity, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and behavioral and metabolic disorders,” wrote the paper's authors, Alyson L Yee and Jack A Gilbert. Yee and Gilbert also suggested that exposure to triclosan could be even more detrimental to the health of developing fetuses and newborns than to adults. A 2014 New York University study found that gut disruptions in early infancy could have lasting negative effects on immune and brain development. Triclosan could also be contributing to antibiotic resistance, which scientists believe is caused by the overuse of antimicrobials in humans and animals. There are partial bans of the chemical in the European Union and in Minnesota, and the FDA says it will continue reviewing the chemical for its safety. Exposure to phthalates could be linked to pregnancy loss Peking University, September 2, 2022 A new study of more than 300 women suggests that exposure to certain phthalates — substances commonly used in food packaging, personal-care and other everyday products — could be associated with miscarriage, mostly between 5 and 13 weeks of pregnancy. The research, appearing in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology, is the first epidemiological study on non-work-related exposure to phthalates to provide evidence for the possible link among a general population. Out of concern over the potential health effects of phthalates, the U.S. has banned six of these substances from use in certain products made for young children. But many are still included as ingredients in paints, medical tubes, vinyl flooring, soaps, shampoos and other items. Research on phthalates has shown that long-term exposure to low levels of some of these compounds harms lab animals' health and can increase their risk for pregnancy loss. Additionally, at least one study found that female factory workers exposed to high levels of phthalates through their work were at a higher risk for miscarriage. But there is little epidemiological evidence of phthalates' effects on pregnancy among women with non-occupational exposure. Jianying Hu, Huan Shen and colleagues wanted to find out if there might be a link. The researchers tested urine samples from 132 women who had miscarriages and 172 healthy pregnant women in China. They found pregnancy loss was associated with higher levels of urinary phthalate metabolites from diethyl phthalate (DEP), di-isobutyl phthalate (DiBP) and di-n-butyl phthalate (DnBP). Although this doesn't prove that phthalates cause pregnancy loss, the study suggests an association exists that the researchers say should be studied further.

These findings could help people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, an umbrella term for a range of liver conditions affecting people who drink little to no alcohol, which affects 25% of all adults globally, and four in 10 adults in Singapore. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease involves fat build-up in the liver and is a leading cause of liver transplants worldwide. When the condition progresses to inflammation and scar tissue formation, it is known as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Dr. Tripathi, study co-author Dr. Brijesh Singh and their colleagues in Singapore, India, China and the US confirmed the association of homocysteine with NASH progression in preclinical models and humans. They also found that when homocysteine attached to a protein called syntaxin 17, it blocked the protein from performing its role of transporting and digesting fat (known as autophagy, an essential cellular process by which cells remove malformed proteins or damaged organelles) in fatty acid metabolism, mitochondrial turnover, and inflammation prevention. This induced the development and progression of fatty liver disease to NASH. Importantly, the researchers found that supplementing the diet in the preclinical models with vitamin B12 and folic acid increased the levels of syntaxin 17 in the liver and restored its role in autophagy. It also slowed NASH progression and reversed liver inflammation and fibrosis. Decreased acetyl-L-carnitine levels associated with depression Stanford University, July 30 2022. An article that in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reported a link between low levels of acetyl-L-carnitine and a greater risk of depression. Acting on the findings of animal research conducted by lead author Carla Nasca, PhD, the researchers recruited men and women between the ages of 20 and 70 years who had been admitted to Weill Cornell Medicine or Mount Sinai School of Medicine for treatment of acute depression. Clinical assessments were conducted upon enrollment and blood samples were analyzed for levels of acetyl-L-carnitine. In comparison with levels measured in blood samples provided by 45 demographically matched healthy men and women, acetyl-L-carnitine blood levels in depressed subjects were substantially lower. Acetyl-L-carnitine levels were lowest among depressed patients who had severe symptoms, a history of treatment resistance, or early onset disease. Having a history of childhood abuse was also associated with low acetyl-L-carnitine levels. “We've identified an important new biomarker of major depression disorder,” Dr Rasgon stated. What's the appropriate dose, frequency, duration? We need to answer many questions before proceeding with recommendations, yet.

Led by Lara Kroencke, of the University of Hamburg in Germany, the researchers noted that other studies have consistently shown that people tend to feel better after socializing with others.To better explore that question, Kroencke's team conducted three studies between 2017 and 2020 with students from the University of Texas at Austin. Researchers chose that age group because of the “intense” socializing that tends to take place during that phase of life. Participants between 18 and 24 years old; 37% were white, 23% were Asian, 23% were Hispanic, nearly 5% were Black, and the rest identified as multiracial. The result: Students tended to feel best after interacting with others in person or through a mix of in person and virtual, versus entirely by computer or phone. Interacting only virtually was, however, better for well-being than no interaction at all, the team stressed. They also found that socializing with close friends brought about a greater overall sense of well-being than engaging with either family or someone a person didn't know so well. And those who tended towards high levels of neuroticism were likely to benefit the most from in-person interactions. Eating more plant protein associated with lower risk of death Massachusetts General Hospital & Harvard Medical School, July 31, 2022 Eating more protein from plant sources was associated with a lower risk of death and eating more protein from animals was associated with a higher risk of death, especially among adults with at least one unhealthy behavior such as smoking, drinking and being overweight or sedentary, according to an article published online by JAMA Internal Medicine. Mingyang Song, M.D., Sc.D., of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, and coauthors used data from two large U.S. studies that had repeated measures of diet through food questionnaires and up to 32 years of follow-up. Among 131,342 study participants, 85,013 (64.7 percent) were women and the average age of participants was 49. Median protein intake, measured as a percentage of calories, was 14 percent for animal protein and 4 percent for plant protein. The authors report: After adjusting for major lifestyle and dietary risk factors, every 10 percent increment of animal protein from total calories was associated with a 2 percent higher risk of death from all causes and an 8 percent increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease death. In contrast, eating more plant protein was associated with a 10 percent lower risk of death from all causes for every 3 percent increment of total calories and a 12 percent lower risk of cardiovascular death. Increased mortality associated with eating more animal protein was more pronounced among study participants who were obese and those who drank alcohol heavily. The association between eating more plant protein and lower mortality was stronger among study participants who smoked, drank at least 14 grams of alcohol a day, were overweight or obese, were physically inactive or were younger than 65 or older than 80. Substituting 3 percent of calories from animal protein with plant protein was associated with a lower risk of death from all causes: 34 percent for replacing processed red meat, 12 percent for replacing unprocessed red meat and 19 percent for replacing eggs. Heat therapy boosts mitochondrial function in muscles Brigham Young University, August 2, 2022 A new study finds that long-term heat therapy may increase mitochondrial function in the muscles. The discovery could lead to new treatments for people with chronic illness or disease. The study–the first of its kind in humans–is published in the Journal of Applied Physiology. Mitochondria, the “energy centers” of the cells, are essential for maintaining good health. Exercise has been shown to create new mitochondria and improve function of existing mitochondria. However, some people with chronic illnesses are not able to exercise long enough–previous research suggests close to two hours daily–to reap the benefits. Rodent studies have suggested that heat exposure may also induce the production of more mitochondria. Researchers from Brigham Young University in Utah studied 20 adult volunteers who had not participated in regular exercise in the three months prior to the study. The research team applied two hours of shortwave diathermy–a type of heat therapy generated by electrical pulses–to the thigh muscles of one leg of each person every day. The researchers based the six-day trial of heat on the minimum amount of exercise needed to measure changes in muscle, or about two hours each day. They designed the treatment to mimic the effects of muscle heating that occurs during exercise. The therapy sessions increased the temperature of the heated leg by approximately 7 degrees F. Each participant's other leg served as a control, receiving no heat therapy or temperature change. The researchers looked at mitochondria content in the muscles on the first day of therapy and 24 hours after the last treatment. Mitochondrial function increased by an average of 28 percent in the heated legs after the heat treatment. The concentration of several mitochondrial proteins also increased in the heated legs, which suggests that “in addition to improving function, [repeated exposure to heat] increased mitochondrial content in human skeletal muscle,” the research team wrote.

To test the chemical's effect in humans, researchers from Stanford and Cornell universities gave seven volunteers triclosan-containing products, such as toothpaste and liquid soap, to use for four months. After that period, the same volunteers were switched to products without triclosan. The volunteers were compared with a second group who first used the non-triclosan products, then changed to those containing triclosan. The results showed that more triclosan was found in the urine of all the participants during the periods when they were using triclosan-containing products. Yee and Gilbert also suggested that exposure to triclosan could be even more detrimental to the health of developing fetuses and newborns than to adults. A 2014 New York University study found that gut disruptions in early infancy could have lasting negative effects on immune and brain development.

Unfortunately, our kids are exposed to more chemicals and toxins than ever before and many of these are having a detrimental effect on their microbiome diversity. Having a diverse microbiome is so important for their gut health and general wellbeing, which is why it is important to reduce or avoid the chemicals and toxins that I discuss in this episode. These chemicals and toxins can have many different negative implications for our kid's health, but in this episode, we are going to be talking about three specific chemicals and toxins that are causing damage to your kid's gut.The three chemicals are:Medications such as antibiotics: Firstly, we want to make it clear that this doesn't mean you shouldn't be giving your kids these medications because at times they can be beneficial for their health and wellbeing. However, in this episode, I talk about being aware of which medications can be depleting our kid's gut health and how we can assist and rebuild our kid's gut health if and when they have to take medications;Antibacterial chemicals: the use of antibacterial chemicals in cleaning and personal care products has increased significantly since the pandemic. Again, sometimes these products are necessary, but thanks to tricky marketing Mum's believe that if we are not cleaning our houses to be spotless with harsh antibacterial chemicals, we may not be keeping our kids safe. In this episode, I want to bring awareness of why this might not be the case and I discuss two of the specific nasty antibacterial chemicals that you want to avoid;Essential oils: I am a big fan of using essential oils safely, but we need to remember that essential oils come in a very concentrated form that has high antibacterial effects. The high concentration of essential oils can cause damaging effects to our kid's microbiome if ingested internally. I discuss the specific essential oils that are causing issues with the microbiome, why you should never use essential oils internally, and some of the ways you can use essential oils safely. I hope you enjoy the podcast.

If you’re still using conventional toothpaste, know that the biggest brands in oral care have often been the biggest culprits for containing harmful ingredients like fluoride, triclosan, and calcium chloride to name a few. It’s safe to say, we unknowingly ingest a lot of poison every year just by brushing our teeth. Risks from simply ingesting a fluoride toothpaste include permanent tooth discoloration (dental fluorosis), stomach ailments, acute toxicity, skin rashes (perioral dermatitis), and impairment in glucose metabolism. Therefore, I encourage you to do your research and make a switch to organic oral care for yourself and most definitely your kids. On today’s show, I’ll be chatting with Kori Estrada, the Co-Founder of the new natural oral care company RiseWell, and co-CIO of Axon Capital, an asset management firm in New York. With a focus on consumer, technology and healthcare related investments throughout her career in both public and private markets, Kori is passionate about innovative companies and brands that are moving the needle in these specific industries. Prior to joining Axon Capital, Kori was an Associate at Shumway Capital Partners and an Analyst in the Investment Banking Division at UBS Investment Bank. She received her BA from Columbia University majoring in Economics and Philosophy. In her spare time, she can be found fishing with her husband and fellow Co-Founder John in the North Fork of Long Island, spending time with her 2-year old son Leo or cooking healthy recipes for her personal blog KoKoButter.com.
The Fat-Burning Man Show by Abel James: The Future of Health & Performance
These days, it's fashionable to pop antibiotics like Tic Tacs, and it's almost impossible not to feel pressured into pumping sanitizer onto our hands when we enter or leave any store. But did you know that even occasional use of antibiotics, hand sanitizers, and other germ-killers can wreak havoc on your long-term health? Evidence is mounting that this germophobic clean craze - our obsession with antibiotics, hand sanitizer and sterile environments - is actually making us sicker. Why? Because our bodies were perfectly designed to have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and even viruses. When you wipe all of those “bugs” away, your immune system can turn on itself. Hence the current epidemic of auto-immunity. And if we stop to take a quick look at the chemical ingredients in some of these hand-sanitizer, you may notice things like Triclosan, which is an endocrine disruptor and toxic to microbes and can actually cause thyroid issues and a lot of other problems. So in this special throwback episode that seems more timely than ever, we're here with Dr. Robynne Chutkan, a leading expert in the world of gut health and one of the most recognizable gastroenterologists working in America. Dr. Chutkan has a B.S. from Yale and an M.D. from Columbia, and is the best-selling author of multiple books, including 'Gutbliss','The Microbiome Solution' and 'The Bloat Cure'. On today's throwback with Dr. Chutkan you're going to learn: The value of getting dirty Why you should reconsider using hand sanitizer How to rewild your microbiome And much more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/dr-robynne-chutkan-rewilding-your-microbiome-how-to-recover-from-antibiotics-high-octane-poop Like the show on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/fatburningman Follow me on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/fatburnman Click here for your free Fat-Burning Kit: http://fatburningman.com/bonus

Today's hot tips include being wary of ingredients found in water and your common skin care products. You might not be aware of how harmful these things can be. By themselves, once in a while, it shouldn't pose a problem. However, the effects are cumulative and your water, shampoos/conditioners, moisturizers, lipsticks, sunblock, and even your soap bars contain ingredients you'll hear about today. https://scientifichealer.com/appointment On the first day You heard about the complexity of your immune system. It's not just one gland organ or system but incorporates the whole body. One way to improve its function quickly is to start a detox process on the body. On the first day, we talked about drinking plenty of water. On the second day, we talked about clearing out three of the worst toxins people ingest. Those included smoking, drinking alcohol, and cutting down on sugar consumption. This helps unburden your immune reactions by helping the liver, brain, lungs, including oxygen consumption. Today I'm going to talk about your toxic environment. There are several ways toxins show up in your home and outdoor environment. Today, you'll hear about some of the most important ones. The first environmental toxin affects your thyroid. Your thyroid drives your metabolism. The faster your metabolism, the faster it can react to an outside threat. It is well known that those with a compromised metabolism through thyroid dysfunction get sick more often. Thyroid disease is rampant in this country. Thyroid hormone is one of the most prescribed medication in the usa, reaching nearly 120 million prescriptions. If you consider that our population is about 330 million, this means that a great proportion of Americans are thyroid deficient. If you include those that are subclinical (an even larger number of people), too many people suffer hypertension, high cholesterol, dry skin, muscle weakness, and are more prone to infection. My year of severe thyroid suppression, I was in bed with infections and illness more than I was upright whereas in the prior 20 years, I barely had a sniffle. A deficient thyroid compromises your immune system in a big way. Here's one of the major and less known ways the thyroid is affected: the chlorination of your water. It's not as much of an issue if you drink it; it is much more damaging when you shower with it. The shower water is atomized and the chlorine goes right into your lungs into your bloodstream. It has the same electronic configuration as iodine, one of the main chemicals in your thyroid hormone. Chlorine can substitute for iodine,disrupting your metabolism. What to do about this? You could get a whole house filter system to take out the impurities in water. That's very expensive. The simple solution is to put a $20 to $25 in-line chlorine filter on your shower head. It totally changes the odor in your shower. It suppresses the chlorine and protects your thyroid. Check out these solutions available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2NJn7hE or https://amzn.to/3ijRVn1 These are very similar to the one we have. The second set of toxins are additives, perfumes and preservatives in skin products. They disrupt your hormones, in other words, how your body reacts to outside pathogens. Links to healthy products at the end of this section: 1. The first is parabens. They are found in shampoos, moisturizers, liquid hand soaps, make up, for example. It is essentially a cheap preservative in nearly 60% of all cosmetic products. It is absorbed through your skin and accumulates in your body. They are estrogenic and disrupts hormonal balances. Tenuous links have been made between parabens and breast cancer have been made, thus one of the many ways parabens compromise your health. There are other alternatives include antioxidant oils, vitamin E, rosemary extract, even sodium benzoate. Look for organic shampoos, make up, and moisturizers without parabens. See list at end of this article. 2. The next is fragrances: they are in 50% of the cosmetic processes. Fragrances are trademarked secrets so are not subject to the same disclosure laws as others. Research into these fragrances have found that a great percentage of them have harmful ingredients in them. The FDA found fragrances were responsible for up to 30% of all allergic reactions to cosmetic products. Allergens are one of the ways your immune system is inflamed or rather sends your body into inflammation. As soon as your body is inflamed, your immune system is compromised. Healthier alternatives are fragrance free or high quality essential oils, which are natural. Essential oils such as thyme, rosemary, lavender, citrus. 3. Triclosan is commonly used as a preservative in skin care products. It's also in a lot of hand sanitizers as it has antibacterial properties. It has shown to be a hormone disruptor and leads to allergic reactions of the skin and eyes. Another problem with this as an antibacterial is that it kills bacteria indiscriminately, good and bad. It doesn't improve any benefit over washing with soap and water. There's some evidence that use of triclosan can lead to growth of superbugs. It can also build up in your fat cells and can be detected in breast milk, blood, and urine. 4. Sodium lauryl sulfate or SLS is found in foaming products like shampoo and soaps. Its purpose is to make bubbles and a smooth feel to the product. It is one of the most sensitizing ingredients in skin care products. Its impurities also affect you, especially your kidneys and liver. Alternatives: The alternatives to sodium lauryl sulphate would be Ingredients that contain vitamin E Ingredients with antiseptic properties Anti-inflammatory ingredients Those high in allantoin Hydrolyzed wheat benzoic acid Benzyl benzoate 5. Other dangerous compounds are –Pthalates, This ingredient makes cosmetics flexible and less prone to breaking. Also called a plasticiser, many skincare products and cosmetics contain phthalates to keep them soft and pliable. Phthalates may disrupt hormones, especially in men and children. It could also possibly cause adverse effects on the reproductive system. It has an association with many health issues, such as diabetes, ADHD and even cancer. If you want to avoid these chemicals, it's not easy. Manufacturers aren't required to list the specific chemicals that make up fragrances, and those fragrances can often contain phthalates, which help make smells last longer. Look out for: Phthalate, DEP, DBP, DEHP, fragrance. Alternatives to phthalates: Diethyl Phthalate (CAS 84-66-2) which is useful as a solvent and a fixative in fragrances as the alternative to diethyl phthalate in personal care products. Di Propylene Glycol is an excellent, inexpensive and odourless alternative. It is a better solvent than propylene glycol. Isopropyl Myristate also represents a well-known option. Benzyl Benzoate Resins –Petrolatum (mineral oil, paraffin wax, benzene and names that end in “eth”) as emollients like lip balms and moisturizers. –Coal tar – Makes your lipstick and other colors more vibrant. It is carcinogenic and can cause acne and allergic breakouts. Look out for: FD&C or D&C, chemical colours ( BLUE 1, GREEN 3, etc.). –Formaldehyde used as an antibacterial preservative. Look out: Like formaldehyde, formaldehyde-releasing preservatives are also known allergens and sensitizers. The commonly used formaldehyde-releasers to avoid are: Imidazolidinyl urea Diazolidinyl urea Bronopol DMDM hydration Sodium hydroxymethylglycinate 5-Bromo-5-nitro-1,3-dioxane Quaternium-15 Look out for ingredient names that end with Formaldehyde, formalin, bromopol, or glyoxal. There are other products to worry about like bleach, cleaners, paints, plastics, and so forth. You will be hearing more about these in the coming weeks. I hope this has opened your eyes to dangers in the most innocuous places where interference of your immune system can happen without you being aware there was a danger in the first place. All those brand name products you've been using could be affecting you. It's just chipping away at your health a little at a time. Healthy alternatives to make up and shampoos.

Xenoestrogens a.k.a toxins can not only act like testosterone or estrogen, they can bind to the same receptors due to their similarity in shape (sort of like a lock and key) and affect your periods! More so, chemicals that are disruptive to your hormones.

Today, a simple step you can take along this wellness journey is to check your cleaning products - are they toxic? First off - scan your labels; anything that reads "hazardous to humans and domestic animals" is toxic and should be disposed of. The average household contains an average of 62 toxic chemicals from the phthalates in synthetic fragrances to the noxious fumes in oven cleaners. Ingredients in common household products have been linked to asthma, cancer, reproductive disorders, hormone disruption and neurotoxicity. Triclosan is an antibacterial in soaps causes cancer and is ruining our environment Phthalates - endocrine disruptors Perchloroethylene or PERC found in carpet cleaners and spot solutions is neurotoxic (KILLS BRAIN CELLS) Ammonia is an irritant and can cause lung issues. Substitute with vodka. Chlorine can also cause lung issues and irritate skin. Use baking soda instead. Love this website for lots of do it yourself ideas!! https://diyjoy.com/homemade-cleaners-recipes/
The beauty industry isn’t so beautiful. Last week we covered the first 6 toxic ingredients to avoid in your skincare products. This week we tackle the remaining 6. How many products in your cabinets contain these ingredients? Please listen in - educate yourself for your health and peace of mind. Featured Product Clean Sourced Collagens Features five collagen types from four different sources! Contains eight grams of protein per serving Help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles Helps ease joint stiffness and discomfort Formulated with vitamin C, horsetail extract, and zinc for maximum absorption Odorless, flavorless formula easily mixes into water, juice, or smoothies * * * Why Skincare Impacts Your Health Skin is the biggest organ on your body. Skin absorbs everything that we put on it. Skincare is one of the most lucrative industries in the world. “Fake Skincare” In March of 2019, the Environmental Working Group, the EWG, reported that US regulation of chemicals and contaminants in cosmetics is falling behind the rest of the world. More than 40 nations, ranging from major industrialized economies like the United Kingdom and Germany, to developing states like Cambodia and Vietnam, have enacted regulations specifically targeting the safety and ingredients of cosmetics and personal care products. Some of these nations have restricted or completely banned more than 1,400 chemicals from cosmetic products. By contrast, the US Food and Drug Administration has banned or restricted only 9 chemicals for safety reasons. This is one of the most under-regulated industries but one of the most lucrative industries in the United States. Why Do Regulations Matter? The Environmental Working Group (EWG) They curate the Skin Deep database of ingredients used in personal care products and their safety concerns on human health. Biggest advocates for clean ingredients in your products. If your skincare product is backed by the EWG, it means they’ve done their homework, they’ve taken the time to look at clean ingredients. The EWG has a scale that rates products from 1 to 5 as far as cleanliness and safety. Top 12 Ingredients to Avoid & Why Ingredient: DEA COMPOUNDS (DIETHANOLAMINE) Typically Found In: DEA and DEA compounds are used to make cosmetics creamy or sudsy. Why You Should Avoid: These cause mild skin and eye irritation. Exposure to high doses of these chemicals has caused liver cancers and pre-cancerous changes in skin and thyroid. DEA is also possible hormone disruptor, has shown limited evidence of carcinogenicity and depletes the body of choline needed for fetal brain development. Ingredient: FRAGRANCE/PARFUM Typically Found In: Apart from being used in perfumes and deodorants, they are used in nearly every type of personal-care product. Of the thousands of chemicals used in fragrances, most have not been tested for toxicity, alone or in combination. Over 3000 chemicals are used to manufacture synthetic fragrances. Why You Should Avoid: These are often unlisted ingredients that are irritants and can trigger allergies, migraines, and asthma symptoms. The catchall term “fragrance” may mask phthalates, which act as endocrine disruptors and may cause obesity and reproductive and developmental harm. In laboratory experiments, individual fragrance ingredients have been associated with cancer and neurotoxicity. Federal law doesn’t require companies to list on product labels any of the chemicals in their fragrance mixture. Recent research from Environmental Working Group and the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics found an average of 14 chemicals in 17 name-brand fragrance products, none of them listed on the label. Ingredient: PEG COMPOUNDS (POLYETHYLENE GLYCOLS) Typically Found In: Scrubs, body wash, makeup, toothpaste PEGs are widely used in cosmetics as thickeners, solvents, softeners, and moisture-carriers and hence used for products requiring a cream base and also in laxatives. Why You Should Avoid: Those tiny plastic beads in face or lip scrubs and exfoliating washes are made from polyethylene (used because they’re gentler on the skin than natural exfoliators like walnut shells). These synthetic chemicals are frequently contaminated with 1,4-dioxane, which the U.S. government considers a probable human carcinogen and which readily penetrates the skin. Polyethylene has been noted as a skin irritant and should never be used on broken skin. Polyethylene beads in scrubs and body washes also are not filtered by our sewage systems, meaning they can collect pollutants and travel into waterways, where they’re consumed by fish and marine animals. Ingredient: PETROLATUM Typically Found In: Petrolatum, also known as petroleum jelly, is used in industry to lubricate machinery – so what is it doing to our bodies? Petrolatum has been used for years to lock in moisture, heal chapped lips, soothe noses raw from sniffles, and protect against diaper rash, as well as to treat cuts and burns. It is an ingredient in one out of every 14 cosmetic products on any given shelf, which includes 15 percent of lipsticks and 40 percent of baby products. So what’s the big deal? Why You Should Avoid: Scarily enough, petroleum byproduct has been found in breast tumors, strongly suggesting it is a breast-cancer-promoting substance. It also suffocates the skin, blocking oxygen absorption and aggravating acne. Petrolatum locks in moisture, yes – but does not allow moisture to be absorbed from the atmosphere. In short, our body gets accustomed to petrolatum’s barrier and slowly become less and less efficient at its own detoxifying and moisturizing processes. Ingredient: TRICLOSAN Typically Found In: Triclosan is used mainly in antiperspirants/deodorants, cleansers, and hand sanitizers as a preservative and an anti-bacterial agent. Also used in laundry detergent, facial tissues, and antiseptics for wounds. Triclosan is classified as a pesticide. Why You Should Avoid: Triclosan was all the rage as antibacterial products became ubiquitous in the 1990s. But…it can pass through skin and can affect the body’s hormone systems—especially thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism—and may disrupt normal breast development. Widespread use of triclosan may also contribute to bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents. It acts like estrogen in the body and has high rates of skin allergy. (High toxicity concern.) The Canadian Medical Association has called for a ban on antibacterial consumer products, such as those containing triclosan. Even the FDA agrees that there is no health benefit to humans who use triclosan, and in 2013 ruled that manufacturers using it had to demonstrate that there were no long-term detrimental effects. We personally use naturally antibacterial and antiseptic agents like tea tree oil. Ingredient: SILOXANES Siloxanes are a group of chemicals that are, as the name suggests, derived from silicone. Typically Found In: Cyclomethicone and ingredients ending in “siloxane” make hair products dry quickly and deodorant creams slide on easily. They are also used extensively in moisturizers and facial treatments to soften and smoothen and in medical implants. Why You Should Avoid: The risks associated with siloxanes are far too many. Siloxanes are known endocrine disruptors that interfere with human hormone function, and could even possibly impair fertility. Research has shown that they not only cause uterine tumors, but can also skew the functioning of neurotransmitters in the nervous system. On top of that, siloxanes resist degradation and therefore pose harm to aquatic life and wildlife. Ingredient: PHTHALATES (DIBUTYL PHTHALATE) Typically Found In: nail polish and other nail products, perfume, makeup remover, hairspray, deodorant Why You Should Avoid: Phthalates are sneaky endocrine disruptors, which means they mimic the body’s hormones, therefore throwing the entire endocrine system off balance. They cause both hormonal and neurological damage, and in the case of pregnant women, may also cause major birth defects. The worst part? You will rarely find the word “phthalates” on a label. Some products do market themselves as phthalate-free, but what about the other slew of synthetics on our department store’s beauty shelf? You can identify phthalates by their abbreviated chemical components: DBP (di-n-butyl phthalate), DEP (diethyl phthalate), DMP (dimethyl phthalate), DEHP (di-2-ethylhexyl), and BzBP (benzylbutyl phthalate). Ingredient: SULPHATES (SODIUM LAURATE, LAURYL SULPHATE OR SLS) Typically Found In: Primarily used as a foaming agent or detergent to be found in shampoos, facial cleansers, mouthwash, toothpaste, bubble bath products, household and utensil cleaning detergents. Why You Should Avoid: Depending on the manufacturing process, Sodium laureth sulfate may be contaminated with ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane. Both contaminants may cause cancer. Also, ethylene oxide may harm the nervous system and interfere with human development, and 1,4-dioxane is persistent. In other words, it doesn’t easily degrade and can remain in the environment long after it is rinsed down the shower drain. SLS has been shown to cause or contribute to: skin irritation, canker sores, disruptions of skin’s natural oil balance and eye damage. It is also widely believed to be a major contributor to acne (especially cystic acne) around the mouth and chin. Ingredient: PARABENS (METHYL-, ETHYL-, PROPYL-, BUTYL-, ISOBUTYL-) Typically Found In: A common and very cheap cosmetic preservative, the second most common skincare ingredient. Found in: makeup, moisturizer, shaving gel, shampoo, personal lubricant and spray tan products Why You Should Avoid: Synthetic parabens are toxic in large or cumulative quantities, as the body stores parabens in many tissue types. They can cause allergic reactions, skin rashes and irritation. Parabens have been shown to mimic estrogen which disrupts normal hormone function. Exposure to external estrogen’s have been shown to increase the risk of breast cancer and increase cell abnormalities. There should be no excuse for your skincare products to still have Parabens. The FDA acknowledges several studies linking parabens, which mimic estrogen, to breast cancer, skin cancer and decreased sperm count, but has not ruled that it is harmful. According to the European Commission’s Scientific Committee on Consumer Products, longer chain parabens like propyl and butyl paraben and their branched counterparts, isopropyl and isobutylparabens, may disrupt the endocrine system and cause reproductive and developmental disorders. Look for ingredients with the suffix “-paraben” as well—paraben-free products will be labeled as such. Ingredient: FORMALDEHYDE Typically Found In: These are primarily preservatives commonly found in cosmetics. It is also found in baby bath soap, nail polish, eyelash adhesive and hair dyes. Look for: DMDM hydantoin, diazolidinyl urea, imidazolidinyl urea, methenamine, quaternium-15, and sodium hydroxymethylglycinate. These ingredients slowly and continuously release small amounts of formaldehyde. Why You Should Avoid: Short-term health impacts include irritation to the eyes, nose and throat, and many studies show it causes allergic skin reactions and skin rashes. In fact, it was awarded 2105 Contact Allergen of the Year by American Contact Dermatitis Society. Long term, Formaldehyde has a long list of adverse health effects, including immune-system toxicity, respiratory irritation and cancer in humans. Formaldehyde is a recognized human carcinogen. Ingredient: BHA AND BHT (BUTYLATED HYDROXYANISOLE AND BUTYLATED HYDROXYTOLUENE) Typically Found In: Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) are closely related chemicals – preservatives commonly used in cosmetics, personal care products (mainly shampoos, perfumes, deodorants, body lotions), and even food and food packaging. Why You Should Avoid: The National Toxicology Program classifies butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) as “reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.” It can cause skin depigmentation. In animal studies, BHA produces liver damage and causes stomach cancers such as papillomas and carcinomas and interferes with normal reproductive system development and thyroid hormone levels. The European Union considers it unsafe in fragrance. Opt for a BHA and phthalate-free perfume. Ingredient: COAL-TAR DYES Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of chemicals that occur naturally in coal, crude oil and gasoline. Typically Found In: Found in: hair dyes, lipstick, cosmetic, shampoo Why You Should Avoid: Phenylenediamine, used in hair dyes, has been found to be carcinogenic in laboratory tests conducted by the U.S. National Cancer Institute and National Toxicology Program. Coal tar is recognized as a human carcinogen and the main concern are their potential as carcinogens. As well, colors may be contaminated with low levels of heavy metals and some contain aluminum (a neurotoxin). This is of particular concern when used in cosmetics that may be ingested, like lipstick. * * * Deeper Dive Resources The Environmental Working Group https://www.ewg.org/ EWG’s Skin Deep Cosmetics Database https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ Global Regulatory Lists of Banned or Restricted Cosmetic Ingredients and Positive Lists https://www.chemsafetypro.com/Topics/Cosmetics/Regulatory_Lists_of_Cosmetic_Ingredients_Banned_Cosmetic_Ingredients,_Restricted_Cosmetic_Ingredients_and_Positive_Lists.html Prohibited & Restricted Ingredients in Cosmetics (FDA) https://www.fda.gov/cosmetics/cosmetics-laws-regulations/prohibited-restricted-ingredients-cosmetics DEA Compounds https://www.fda.gov/cosmetics/cosmetic-ingredients/diethanolamine Fragrances in Cosmetics https://www.fda.gov/cosmetics/cosmetic-ingredients/fragrances-cosmetics Phthalates https://www.cdc.gov/biomonitoring/Phthalates_FactSheet.html Campaign for Safe Cosmetics http://www.safecosmetics.org/ PEG Compounds https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4505343/ 1,4-Dioxane https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2014-03/documents/ffrro_factsheet_contaminant_14-dioxane_january2014_final.pdf Petrolatum http://www.safecosmetics.org/get-the-facts/chemicals-of-concern/petrolatum/ Triclosan https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/adult-health/expert-answers/triclosan/faq-20057861 FDA Ruling on Triclosan https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-issues-final-rule-safety-and-effectiveness-antibacterial-soaps Siloxanes https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4884743/
The beauty industry isn’t so beautiful. Last week we covered the first 6 toxic ingredients to avoid in your skincare products. This week we tackle the remaining 6. How many products in your cabinets contain these ingredients? Please listen in - educate yourself for your health and peace of mind. Featured Product Clean Sourced Collagens Features five collagen types from four different sources! Contains eight grams of protein per serving Help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles Helps ease joint stiffness and discomfort Formulated with vitamin C, horsetail extract, and zinc for maximum absorption Odorless, flavorless formula easily mixes into water, juice, or smoothies * * * Why Skincare Impacts Your Health Skin is the biggest organ on your body. Skin absorbs everything that we put on it. Skincare is one of the most lucrative industries in the world. “Fake Skincare” In March of 2019, the Environmental Working Group, the EWG, reported that US regulation of chemicals and contaminants in cosmetics is falling behind the rest of the world. More than 40 nations, ranging from major industrialized economies like the United Kingdom and Germany, to developing states like Cambodia and Vietnam, have enacted regulations specifically targeting the safety and ingredients of cosmetics and personal care products. Some of these nations have restricted or completely banned more than 1,400 chemicals from cosmetic products. By contrast, the US Food and Drug Administration has banned or restricted only 9 chemicals for safety reasons. This is one of the most under-regulated industries but one of the most lucrative industries in the United States. Why Do Regulations Matter? The Environmental Working Group (EWG) They curate the Skin Deep database of ingredients used in personal care products and their safety concerns on human health. Biggest advocates for clean ingredients in your products. If your skincare product is backed by the EWG, it means they’ve done their homework, they’ve taken the time to look at clean ingredients. The EWG has a scale that rates products from 1 to 5 as far as cleanliness and safety. Top 12 Ingredients to Avoid & Why Ingredient: DEA COMPOUNDS (DIETHANOLAMINE) Typically Found In: DEA and DEA compounds are used to make cosmetics creamy or sudsy. Why You Should Avoid: These cause mild skin and eye irritation. Exposure to high doses of these chemicals has caused liver cancers and pre-cancerous changes in skin and thyroid. DEA is also possible hormone disruptor, has shown limited evidence of carcinogenicity and depletes the body of choline needed for fetal brain development. Ingredient: FRAGRANCE/PARFUM Typically Found In: Apart from being used in perfumes and deodorants, they are used in nearly every type of personal-care product. Of the thousands of chemicals used in fragrances, most have not been tested for toxicity, alone or in combination. Over 3000 chemicals are used to manufacture synthetic fragrances. Why You Should Avoid: These are often unlisted ingredients that are irritants and can trigger allergies, migraines, and asthma symptoms. The catchall term “fragrance” may mask phthalates, which act as endocrine disruptors and may cause obesity and reproductive and developmental harm. In laboratory experiments, individual fragrance ingredients have been associated with cancer and neurotoxicity. Federal law doesn’t require companies to list on product labels any of the chemicals in their fragrance mixture. Recent research from Environmental Working Group and the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics found an average of 14 chemicals in 17 name-brand fragrance products, none of them listed on the label. Ingredient: PEG COMPOUNDS (POLYETHYLENE GLYCOLS) Typically Found In: Scrubs, body wash, makeup, toothpaste PEGs are widely used in cosmetics as thickeners, solvents, softeners, and moisture-carriers and hence used for products requiring a cream base and also in laxatives. Why You Should Avoid: Those tiny plastic beads in face or lip scrubs and exfoliating washes are made from polyethylene (used because they’re gentler on the skin than natural exfoliators like walnut shells). These synthetic chemicals are frequently contaminated with 1,4-dioxane, which the U.S. government considers a probable human carcinogen and which readily penetrates the skin. Polyethylene has been noted as a skin irritant and should never be used on broken skin. Polyethylene beads in scrubs and body washes also are not filtered by our sewage systems, meaning they can collect pollutants and travel into waterways, where they’re consumed by fish and marine animals. Ingredient: PETROLATUM Typically Found In: Petrolatum, also known as petroleum jelly, is used in industry to lubricate machinery – so what is it doing to our bodies? Petrolatum has been used for years to lock in moisture, heal chapped lips, soothe noses raw from sniffles, and protect against diaper rash, as well as to treat cuts and burns. It is an ingredient in one out of every 14 cosmetic products on any given shelf, which includes 15 percent of lipsticks and 40 percent of baby products. So what’s the big deal? Why You Should Avoid: Scarily enough, petroleum byproduct has been found in breast tumors, strongly suggesting it is a breast-cancer-promoting substance. It also suffocates the skin, blocking oxygen absorption and aggravating acne. Petrolatum locks in moisture, yes – but does not allow moisture to be absorbed from the atmosphere. In short, our body gets accustomed to petrolatum’s barrier and slowly become less and less efficient at its own detoxifying and moisturizing processes. Ingredient: TRICLOSAN Typically Found In: Triclosan is used mainly in antiperspirants/deodorants, cleansers, and hand sanitizers as a preservative and an anti-bacterial agent. Also used in laundry detergent, facial tissues, and antiseptics for wounds. Triclosan is classified as a pesticide. Why You Should Avoid: Triclosan was all the rage as antibacterial products became ubiquitous in the 1990s. But…it can pass through skin and can affect the body’s hormone systems—especially thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism—and may disrupt normal breast development. Widespread use of triclosan may also contribute to bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents. It acts like estrogen in the body and has high rates of skin allergy. (High toxicity concern.) The Canadian Medical Association has called for a ban on antibacterial consumer products, such as those containing triclosan. Even the FDA agrees that there is no health benefit to humans who use triclosan, and in 2013 ruled that manufacturers using it had to demonstrate that there were no long-term detrimental effects. We personally use naturally antibacterial and antiseptic agents like tea tree oil. Ingredient: SILOXANES Siloxanes are a group of chemicals that are, as the name suggests, derived from silicone. Typically Found In: Cyclomethicone and ingredients ending in “siloxane” make hair products dry quickly and deodorant creams slide on easily. They are also used extensively in moisturizers and facial treatments to soften and smoothen and in medical implants. Why You Should Avoid: The risks associated with siloxanes are far too many. Siloxanes are known endocrine disruptors that interfere with human hormone function, and could even possibly impair fertility. Research has shown that they not only cause uterine tumors, but can also skew the functioning of neurotransmitters in the nervous system. On top of that, siloxanes resist degradation and therefore pose harm to aquatic life and wildlife. Ingredient: PHTHALATES (DIBUTYL PHTHALATE) Typically Found In: nail polish and other nail products, perfume, makeup remover, hairspray, deodorant Why You Should Avoid: Phthalates are sneaky endocrine disruptors, which means they mimic the body’s hormones, therefore throwing the entire endocrine system off balance. They cause both hormonal and neurological damage, and in the case of pregnant women, may also cause major birth defects. The worst part? You will rarely find the word “phthalates” on a label. Some products do market themselves as phthalate-free, but what about the other slew of synthetics on our department store’s beauty shelf? You can identify phthalates by their abbreviated chemical components: DBP (di-n-butyl phthalate), DEP (diethyl phthalate), DMP (dimethyl phthalate), DEHP (di-2-ethylhexyl), and BzBP (benzylbutyl phthalate). Ingredient: SULPHATES (SODIUM LAURATE, LAURYL SULPHATE OR SLS) Typically Found In: Primarily used as a foaming agent or detergent to be found in shampoos, facial cleansers, mouthwash, toothpaste, bubble bath products, household and utensil cleaning detergents. Why You Should Avoid: Depending on the manufacturing process, Sodium laureth sulfate may be contaminated with ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane. Both contaminants may cause cancer. Also, ethylene oxide may harm the nervous system and interfere with human development, and 1,4-dioxane is persistent. In other words, it doesn’t easily degrade and can remain in the environment long after it is rinsed down the shower drain. SLS has been shown to cause or contribute to: skin irritation, canker sores, disruptions of skin’s natural oil balance and eye damage. It is also widely believed to be a major contributor to acne (especially cystic acne) around the mouth and chin. Ingredient: PARABENS (METHYL-, ETHYL-, PROPYL-, BUTYL-, ISOBUTYL-) Typically Found In: A common and very cheap cosmetic preservative, the second most common skincare ingredient. Found in: makeup, moisturizer, shaving gel, shampoo, personal lubricant and spray tan products Why You Should Avoid: Synthetic parabens are toxic in large or cumulative quantities, as the body stores parabens in many tissue types. They can cause allergic reactions, skin rashes and irritation. Parabens have been shown to mimic estrogen which disrupts normal hormone function. Exposure to external estrogen’s have been shown to increase the risk of breast cancer and increase cell abnormalities. There should be no excuse for your skincare products to still have Parabens. The FDA acknowledges several studies linking parabens, which mimic estrogen, to breast cancer, skin cancer and decreased sperm count, but has not ruled that it is harmful. According to the European Commission’s Scientific Committee on Consumer Products, longer chain parabens like propyl and butyl paraben and their branched counterparts, isopropyl and isobutylparabens, may disrupt the endocrine system and cause reproductive and developmental disorders. Look for ingredients with the suffix “-paraben” as well—paraben-free products will be labeled as such. Ingredient: FORMALDEHYDE Typically Found In: These are primarily preservatives commonly found in cosmetics. It is also found in baby bath soap, nail polish, eyelash adhesive and hair dyes. Look for: DMDM hydantoin, diazolidinyl urea, imidazolidinyl urea, methenamine, quaternium-15, and sodium hydroxymethylglycinate. These ingredients slowly and continuously release small amounts of formaldehyde. Why You Should Avoid: Short-term health impacts include irritation to the eyes, nose and throat, and many studies show it causes allergic skin reactions and skin rashes. In fact, it was awarded 2105 Contact Allergen of the Year by American Contact Dermatitis Society. Long term, Formaldehyde has a long list of adverse health effects, including immune-system toxicity, respiratory irritation and cancer in humans. Formaldehyde is a recognized human carcinogen. Ingredient: BHA AND BHT (BUTYLATED HYDROXYANISOLE AND BUTYLATED HYDROXYTOLUENE) Typically Found In: Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) are closely related chemicals – preservatives commonly used in cosmetics, personal care products (mainly shampoos, perfumes, deodorants, body lotions), and even food and food packaging. Why You Should Avoid: The National Toxicology Program classifies butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) as “reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.” It can cause skin depigmentation. In animal studies, BHA produces liver damage and causes stomach cancers such as papillomas and carcinomas and interferes with normal reproductive system development and thyroid hormone levels. The European Union considers it unsafe in fragrance. Opt for a BHA and phthalate-free perfume. Ingredient: COAL-TAR DYES Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of chemicals that occur naturally in coal, crude oil and gasoline. Typically Found In: Found in: hair dyes, lipstick, cosmetic, shampoo Why You Should Avoid: Phenylenediamine, used in hair dyes, has been found to be carcinogenic in laboratory tests conducted by the U.S. National Cancer Institute and National Toxicology Program. Coal tar is recognized as a human carcinogen and the main concern are their potential as carcinogens. As well, colors may be contaminated with low levels of heavy metals and some contain aluminum (a neurotoxin).

Would you believe me if I said that you could clean your home by adding bacteria instead of killing it? Welcome to the world of probiotic cleaning. In a nutshell, it’s the process of spraying good bacteria onto your household surfaces and allowing the army of good bacteria to scare off the bad bacteria. No gloves required! On this episode, Michelle Perkins, the creator of Counter Culture, tells me about her innovative range of probiotic cleaning products. We chat about the growing opposition in the medical field to harsh cleaning agents and she explains how we can kick the household cleaning toxins simply by adding good bacteria. Michelle also shares insights about the growing body of research proving the vital role bacteria play in our overall health and wellbeing. Key takeaways: Counter Culture products are brewed in the same way that you would make kombucha. Triclosan (a main ingredient in many household cleaners) may have a negative effect on the endocrine system, especially the thyroid. Our everyday overuse of antimicrobials has created a resistance to a range of bad bacteria. Counter Culture products aim to improve the environment of a surface, rather than trying to change it or kill off all the bacteria. Michelle says the Counter Culture Air and Fabric Freshener is ideal for pet stains.

When I started my low tox journey, I had absolutely no idea where to begin. It was incredibly hard to wade through all that research. Thankfully, nowadays, if you’re trying to live a low tox life but don’t know where to start, this week’s episode might change your life forever! Alexx Stuart, author of the bestselling book, Low Tox Life, joins me to share her expert tips and advice on how to kick the toxins from your life. Alexx started living her own low tox life through her blog, which turned into ebooks and online courses, and now her amazing book! We talk about what living a low tox life actually means, which products to replace first as well as Alexx’s favourite toxin-free goodies. We also cover why castile soaps are so amazing and versatile, why you need to look out for triclosan in the ingredients list of mainstream cleaning products, and even how to deal with mould in your house. And finally, Alexx really will blow your mind on the topic of food waste. We are often so caught up in what we choose to eat, but I had no idea about the extent of global issues caused by food waste. Key takeaways: The key pillars of living a low tox life are food, body, home & mind. Triclosan (an ingredient used in some mainstream cleaning products) has been banned in hand wash and hand sanitisers across the U.S. – in a study, it could not be proven to be more effective than soap and water. There’s no need to rush or panic – it can take a while to transform your home into a completely low-tox environment. Focus on the quick wins! Three small life changes are changing the water you drink, swapping your soap and replacing your pillow. If we all reduced our food waste to nothing, it would be equivalent to removing half a billion cars off the roads per year.

Heute geht es um das Thema Zahnpflege // Leider basieren viele Behandlungen in der Grundversorgung Zahnheilkunde auf Behauptungen und schwachen bzw. Gar keinen Beweisen. Mit 3 Studien, IQuaD, Cochrane Reviews und INTERVAL zu Zahnsteinreinigung und Polieren, zahnärztlichen Vorsorge, welche Zahnbürste, Zahnseide oder nicht, vieles Überraschendes. Zähneputzen Elektrisch oder von Hand Wer putzt besser, Mensch oder Maschine? Aktuelles Cochrane Review (Yaacob et al. 2014). 56 Studien zur Frage mechanische vs. elektrische Zahnbürste hat eine aktuelle systematische Übersichtsarbeit von Autoren der Cochrane Oral Health Group zusammengefasst. Alle diese Studien verglichen das Putzen mit der Handzahnbürste mit dem Putzen mit der elektrischen Bürste. Insgesamt 5.068 Probandinnen und Probanden, hauptsächlich aus den USA und Europa, Elektrisch ist nicht gleich elektrisch. Seitwärts, rotierend, ionisch und mit Ultraschall. Frage: Welche Zahnbürste entfernt Plaque* gründlicher und kann Zahnfleischentzündung verringern? Plaque auf dem Zahn haftende Bakterien, Biofilm. Plaque ist der häufigste Grund für Zahnfleischentzündung und Parodontitis (Entzündung des Zahnhalteapparates). Kann Knochen zerstören, Zähne lockern ausfallen. Bakterien am Übergang zwischen Zahn und Zahnfleisch und zwischen den Zähnen. Dort, wo die Zahnbürste nicht hinkommt. Elektrische Zahnbürsten versprechen „dorthin zu kommen. Gradmesser des Putzerfolgs war, wie stark die Probandinnen und Probanden von Plaque und Zahnfleischentzündung betroffen waren. ErgebnisElektrisches Putzen wirksamer: weniger Plaque und weniger Zahnfleischentzündung/bluten. Spitzenreiter: oszillierend rotierendem Kopf, also einem Bürstenkopf der sich dreht und dabei ständig die Richtung wechselt. Schutz vor Parodontitis und Zahnverlust scheint wahrscheinlich. Das könnten nur sehr lang laufende Untersuchungen, die es derzeit noch nicht gibt. Zahnpasta ± Fluorid Ökotest untersuchte 400 Eigenmarken und Markenprodukte aus Discount- und Supermärkten, Drogerien, Apotheken und Online-Shops nach Inhaltsstoffen https://www.oekotest.de/kosmetik-wellness/Zahnpasta-Test-Die-besten-Zahncremes-mit-und-ohne-Fluorid_111632_1.html 204 Universal-Zahnpasten, 36 Sensitiv-Zahnpasten, 94 Zahnpasten für weißere Zähne und 66 Kinderzahnpasten für Milchzähne und Junioren. Fragen: Umstrittene Inhaltsstoffe? Hilft Sensitiv-Zahnpasta wirklich bei schmerzempfindlichen Zähnen? Aufhell-Effekte wissenschaftlich bewiesen? Informieren die Anbieter von Kinderzahnpasten ausreichend über Kariesschutz mit Fluorid? Ergebnis: Fast jede zweite Zahnpasta im Test fällt durch: 199 Produkte „mangelhaft“ oder „ungenügend“. 58 „Befriedigend“ oder „ausreichend“.

Today, Hillary and her friend Katrina talk about beauty products and how they could be interfering with your fertility. They list the top ten chemical and ingredient offenders (out of 1,300!) to look out for and avoid, give recommendations on natural beauty product and product lines, and share some practical ways to make small shifts away from slathering ourselves daily in a chemical cocktail. More women are becoming savvy as consumers, and aware of how much of an effect what we put on our body has in with what happens inside of it. To share your own fertility story, please email me at hillary@ladypotions.com. I look forward to connecting with you, as you are what this podcast is all about. Takeaways: [1:37] The United States Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (abbreviated as FFDCA, FDCA, or FD&C), has not been changed since 1938. Europe and Canada have higher regulatory standards, and hopefully, the United States will catch up in the close future. [9:30] Top 10 ingredients we don’t want in our personal care products: Sunscreen Chemicals. Common Names are Benzophenone, PABA, Avobenzone, Homosalate, and Methoxycinnamate. Parabens. Parabens are widely used preservatives that prevent the growth of bacteria, mold, and yeast in cosmetic products. Read more on parabens. Synthetic Colors. FD&C or D&C represent artificial colors. F (food) and D&C (drug and cosmetics). These letters precede a color and number (e.g., D&C Red 27 or FD&C Blue 1). Synthetic Fragrance. Phthalates.

Health and wellness are not merely about diet and exercise, but also about limiting our exposure to toxic chemicals. For the past two decades, toxic chemicals have been added to everything from make-up, household cleaning supplies, clothing, pots, pans, building materials, mattresses, and even perfume. And scientific studies are now showing us that chemicals found in a wide array of household goods are more toxic than we thought. Today's podcast is devoted to unveiling the most common toxic chemicals that could unknowingly be harming your health and how to avoid them. We will also discuss chemical toxicants that can induce autoimmune disease and the potential for environmental substances to worsen an autoimmune condition.

Of all the things I’ve done to improve my own health, getting a dog has been one of the most important. Today’s podcast is really an informal conversation with my good friend, FDN practitioner and health coach, Toréa Rodriguez. Toréa has been on the podcast several times, and today we’re focusing on the many benefits of having a dog, which truly spans far beyond companionship. We discuss making the leap from contemplating dog ownership to actually making the commitment, as well as dog training, dog-related stress, optimal diets, and the many health benefits – physical and emotional – of adopting a pup. We share tips for building rapport and establishing a hierarchy with a canine companion, as well as considerations for endurance athletes with dogs-in-training.

Scientists have shown that a toothpaste ingredient could be used as an anti-malarial drug. Spread by mosquitoes, malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites, and kills over half a million people every year, 70% of them children. In recent years the parasite has also become resistant to most of the existing anti-malarial compounds. This new discovery, by researchers at the University of Cambridge, was aided by Eve, an artificially-intelligent 'robot scientist'. Chris Smith was joined by Steve Oliver who was part of the investigation. Like this podcast? Please help us by supporting the Naked Scientists

CommunityChiropractic.net drmaj.com toxins, toxins, everywhere……………………………… Presented to: The Royal Chiropractic Knights Of The Round Table By: Dr. Diane Feils Last fall, I was at a Beauty Counter party at my daughter in law’s house. I knew the make-up and body products sold were supposed to be safer for human use than many of the products on the market today, but learned that the United States has not passed a major federal law to regulate the safety of ingredients used in personal care products since 1938. I found that stunning. I was aware of the fact that many chemicals were used in our hair and body products, but not really sure what they all were. It reminded me of the awareness I had at a Norwex party several years ago concerning the toxic cleaning products, as well as the knowledge I have learned when talking to people that use essential oils. With all of that said, I am not here to sign you up for a home party or ask you to be a distributer. I learned that there are over 80,000 chemicals on the market today, and many don’t have safety data. Manufacturers are allowed to use their best judgment as to what is ok to use. Compared to other countries, the US has only banned a slight percentage of those available for use, by comparison. Because we have the FDA, EPA, and CPSC (consumer product safety commission) we, as consumers, are under the false impression that someone is watching out for us…. but quite the contrary is true. The Beauty Counter products have a list called The Never List…. a list of certain chemicals that are never used in their products. These chemicals consist of solvents, disinfectants, surfactants, preservatives, plasticizing agents, softeners, moisture carriers, pesticides, as well as other unknown ingredients. The addition of the chemicals cause side effects ranging from cancer to minor skin irritations; endocrine imbalances, allergies, fertility issues, birth defects, neurotoxicity and developmental toxicity. Some damage DNA and accelerate the growth of skin tumors. The most astonishing ingredients are those called fragrances. Fragrance formulas are protected under federal law’s classification of trade secrets and they can remain undisclosed. (I wonder if that is how Secret antiperspirant got its name) So, with this realization, I searched out other toxic chemicals known to be a problem, and learned about the Fire Retardant Law for children’s pajamas in mid 1973 put in place by Gov. Jerry Brown. A chemical called TRIS phosphate was used on the fabric of the pajamas for children age 6 and under to resist the incidence of sudden igniting of the fabric in the case of a fire. This was soon questioned as to the safety and two scientists, Arlene Blum and Bruce Ames, performed an experiment exposing bacteria to TRIS. It was discovered that the DNA of the bacteria was mutated, naming the chemical a carcinogen. The test was called the Ames Test. With this realization, The National Cancer Institute banned the chemical instantly for use on children’s clothing. However, the clothing manufacturers sued the government because they had their entire stock of unsellable products on hand. The ban was overturned, but they started using chlorinated TRIS. It was really just as dangerous. The manufacturers decided ultimately to stop using both chemicals. It was 20 years later when the furniture industry in California decided that house fires could be reduced if fire retardants were sprayed on the furniture fabrics and the polyurethane foam in cushions. Arlene Blum was contacted to get her opinion of using Tris again on the furniture. Finding out the danger, chemicals called PBDE’s (polybrominated diphenyl ethers) were used. Technical Bullitin117 was issued by Gov. Jerry Brown of California as required use in all furniture manufacturing. Since the California furniture marketplace was so large, it became the nation’s Fire Safety standard. Unfortunately, baby products were categorized under the classification of furniture. This allowed the chemicals to be put in products such as cribs and mattresses, car seats, high chairs, changing tables, strollers, bathtubs, nursing pillows and rockers. It was also found that the chemicals flaked off into dust, from furniture cushions and children were exposed to the particulate matter floating around the house, on the floor and toys. Much of this furniture is still in use today…a never-ending source of particulate matter continuing to expose individuals now. Obviously, the concern of exposure with infants and young children was the effect on fetal and early brain development, and the effects of thyroid hormone mimicking action of the PBDE’s causing other conditions such as infertility and hyperthyroidism. Researchers revealed that these exposures also were also associated with neurodevelopmental delays such as decreased attention; fine motor coordination and cognition in school-aged children. Flame retardants on furniture were tested, and found to not be as effective as intended. The chemicals put into the foam doesn’t work, as the flame is never actually put to the foam, but the fabric covering. Once that cover is on fire, the chemical is overcome and the rate of burning is not reduced. They did conclude that the amount of toxic carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide gas released into the air from the burning chemicals during a house fire is the leading cause of death rather than burns. The chemical industry is a 4 billion dollar per year industry. Here’s a story: In California, lawmakers heard a case in which a 7 week old baby was burned and died 3 weeks later following a fire caused a pillow on which a baby was sleeping started on fire. The testimony was meant to keep the retardant laws in place. As it turned out the story was a complete hoax and the Dr. who was a burn specialist was also found to be the star witness for the flame retardant manufacturers. He was part of a decade long campaign of deception by the chemical industry loading American homes with pounds of toxic chemicals causing the above listed health issues. Ethics and integrity go by the wayside when there is money to be made. So, speaking of Flame Retardants, I became aware of another; BVO Brominated vegetable oilis a complex mixture of plant-derived triglycerides that have been reacted to contain atoms of the element bromine bonded to the molecules. Brominated vegetable oil is used primarily to help emulsify citrus- flavored soft drinks, preventing them from separating during distribution. Brominated vegetable oil has been used by the soft drink industry since 1931, generally at a level of about 8 ppm. Careful control of the type of oil used allows bromination of it to produce BVO with a specific density (1.33 g/mL). As a result, it can be mixed with less-dense flavoring agents such as citrus flavor oil to produce a resulting oil whose density matches that of water or other products. The droplets containing BVO remain suspended in the water rather than separating and floating at the surface. [2] Alternative food additives used for the same purpose include sucrose acetate isobutyrate (SAIB, E444) and glycerol ester of wood rosin (ester gum, E445). United States In the United States, BVO was designated in 1958, as generally recognized as safe (GRAS), but this was withdrawn by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1970. The U.S. Code of Federal Regulations currently imposes restrictions on the use of BVO as a food additive in the United States, limiting the concentration to 15 ppm, limiting the amount of free fatty acids to 2.5 percent, and limiting the iodine value to 16 BVO is used in Mountain Dew, manufactured by PepsiCo; Powerade, Fanta Orange and Fresca made by Coca-Cola; and Squirt, Sun Drop and Sunkist Peach Soda, made by the Dr Pepper Snapple Group. Numerous generic citrus sodas also use it, including "Clover Valley"/Dollar General sodas and Stars & Stripe On May 5, 2014, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo said they will remove BVO from their products BVO is one of four substances that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has defined as interim food additives the other three are acrylonitrilecopolymers, mannitol, and saccharin. Canada BVO is currently permitted as a food additive in Canada Europe In the European Union, BVO is banned from use as a food additive. In the EU, beverage companies commonly use glycerol ester of wood rosin or locust bean gum as an alternative to BVO. India Standards for soft drinks in India have prohibited the use of BVO since 1990. Japan The use of BVO as a food additive has been banned in Japan since 2010. (This source leads to a study done about the concentration levels of BVO in North Americans, and requires more context.) Health effects of BVO The United States Food and Drug Administration considers BVO to be safe for use as a food additive. However, there are case reports of adverse effects associated with excessive consumption of BVO-containing products. One case reported that a man who consumed two to four liters of a soda containing BVO on a daily basis experienced memory loss, tremors, fatigue, loss of muscle coordination, headache, and ptosis of the right eyelid, as well as elevated serum chloride. In the two months it took to correctly diagnose the problem, the patient also lost the ability to walk. Eventually, bromism was diagnosed and hemodialysis was prescribed which resulted in a reversal of the disorder An online petition at Change.org asking PepsiCo to stop adding BVO to Gatorade and other products collected over 200,000 signatures by January 2013. The petition pointed out that since Gatorade is sold in countries where BVO is not approved, there is already an existing formulation without this ingredient. PepsiCo announced in January 2013, that it would no longer use BVO in Gatorade, and announced May 5, 2014 that it would discontinue use in all of its drinks, including Mountain Dew, however, as of July 5th, 2017 BVO is still an ingredient in Mountain Dew, Sun Drop, and AMP Energy Drinks. Again, huge corporations are more concerned by the almighty dollar instead of consumer safety. How many questionable medical conditions could be caused by a similar situation? Patients usually don’t reveal over-consumption of certain foods and drinks, because they know it’s unhealthy and don’t want to be told to discontinue it. In many cases a patient could be given an inaccurate neurological diagnosis, and medicated for it, when the culprit is excessive consumption of a government- regulated toxin. I remember a child in our Onalaska neighborhood that became unable to walk for weeks. Her parents had her to local doctors as well as Mayo Clinic. It was a DC who specialized in Neuro Response Testing that discovered it was her blanket that was making her sick. Most likely, the polyester or the flame-retardants on it were the cause. The Mayo Clinic told the parents, that they couldn’t give a definitive diagnosis and “this is just how your child will live out the rest of her life.” Gee, polyester……….so popular once…. is now back, and it’s everywhere. That took me to another thought process. I searched toxic fabrics. Not that long ago, people stuck to the natural fibers: wool, cashmere, cotton, silk, linen, and hemp. But if you take a look at your clothing labels today, you are likely to find materials like rayon, polyester, acrylic, acetate and nylon. And your shirts and slacks may be treated to be wrinkle-free or stain resistant. These technological advances in fabrics may make our lives simpler, but at what cost? Here's ashort list of fabrics to avoid, and the healthy ones to pick instead. Polyester is the worst fabric you can buy. It is made from synthetic polymers that are made from esters of dihydric alcohol and terpthalic acid. Acrylic fabrics are polycrylonitriles and may cause cancer, according to the EPA. Rayon is recycled wood pulp that must be treated with chemicals like caustic soda, ammonia, acetone and sulphuric acid to survive regular washing and wearing. Acetate and Triacetate are made from wood fibers called cellulose and undergo extensive chemical processing to produce the finished product. Nylon is made from petroleum and is often given a permanent chemical finish that can be harmful. Anything static resistant, stain resistant, permanent press, wrinkle-free, stain proof or moth repellant. Many of the stain resistant and wrinkle-free fabrics are treated with perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), like Teflon. Keep in mind that many fabrics (including natural fibers) undergo significant processing that often involves: Detergents Petrochemical dyes Formaldehyde to prevent shrinkage Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) Dioxin-producing bleach Chemical fabric softeners These additives are often toxic to the human body, may contain heavy metals and can pollute our environment. If you are chemically sensitive or just want to surround yourself with healthy fabrics, there are new options. Doris Brunza, a fashion designer who worked in the Garment District in New York City for 20 years, knows about finding fabrics that don't cause reactions, because she is chemically sensitive. She points out that nearly ALL fabrics, including organic fabric, are treated with chemicals at some point during their processing. Still, some choices are better than others. In general, look for natural fibers like cotton, silk, linen, hemp, wool and cashmere. If you can, purchase and wear organic fabrics and organic clothing. While they still might be processed to some extent, they are often a better choice than synthetics. Brunza also advises people to buy high quality European garments made with the finest fabrics. Expensive clothing may seem overpriced, but the quality of the raw materials is superior, and the fibers can be woven into beautiful fabrics that are soft and strong, requiring little chemical processing to make them suitable for you, the consumer. They also last you for years so are a wise purchase in the long run. Remember to avoid chemical dry-cleaning whenever possible and wash your clothes in a "green"detergent. So, in closing you need to be your own advocate when it comes to toxic exposure. Choosing organic food, pure water, safe body care products, natural or organic clothing and textiles in your home can work together to enhance your wellbeing and help you live a healthier life. Reducing your toxic load may sometimes seem like an overwhelming task, but just like any other change, make it step by step. Over time, you'll see improvement in your own life and in the world around you. Change in the world begins with you making simple changes in your own life. The Never List ™ is made up of approximately 1,500 harmful or questionable ingredients including the nearly 1,400 ingredients banned in the European Union.

Dr. Jay earned a B.A. with a double major in Biology and Theology from Ave Maria University in Naples, Florida, where he researched inhibitors of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). After college, he continued to work with virus (lentivirus) in the context of brain disease for the U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs. Next, Dr. Jay earned his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Boston University School of Medicine, researching fats, hormones, and cholesterol, in Boston, Massachusetts. In this podcast we talk about head injuries of the football players (it will look like alzheimers in the brain), estrogenic products, and testosterone. He dives deep into estrogen, which is a sex hormone that binds to receptors in your body.. Men have a natural 20ng/l , woman have a range between 20-400 ng/l of estrogen in their body. Listen here on Apple Podcasts Signs your have high estrogen: Man boobs Fat gain Depression Immune system disfunction So what are some high estrogen prodcucts?? 1. Phytoestrogens- Soy and Flax are so extremely high in estrogen. Stay away from these. 2. Lavender has been shown to increase estrogen (Tip: men don’t put lavender essential oils on your skin) 3. Mycoestrogen- mold products increase estrogen, you will find it in a lot of grains here in america. Check if you house has mold , black mold is extremely toxic. In America we don’t regulate the mycoestrogens in our food but Europe does. What they feed cattle in America is terrible. You always want to make sure the beef is grass fed and organic, chicken organic and free range. 4. Atrazine which is an Herbacide- which are sprayed on grains. Note that this too is illegal in Europe 5. Artificial colors- Red 40, Red 3 (in europe they put a warning on the bottle if it has red 40) 6. Triclosan- it will be illegal next year (Most soap companies use it). Only use all natural soaps- Hormones go through your skin. Whatever you put on your skin you will absorb. 7. Benzophenone & 4-methylbenzylidene camphor which is in suncreens. Make sure to use all natural zinc sunscreen . These chemicals are also are illegal in Europe 8.

In Today's Episode Dr. Robynne Chutkan is one of the most knowledgeable gastroenterologists working in the United States today. She is the author of three bestselling digestive health books: Gutbliss, The Microbiome Solution, and The Bloat Cure. Dr. Chutkan has a BS from Yale and an MD from Columbia, and is a faculty member at Georgetown University Hospital. In 2004 she founded the Digestive Center for Wellness, an integrative gastroenterology practice, incorporating microbial optimization, nutritional therapy, biofeedback, and stress reduction, as part of the therapeutic approach to digestive disorders. She is a regular guest on the Dr. Oz Show, covering digestive health, and is also a member of the Medical Advisory Board for the show. She was the host of the National Institutes of Health Clinical Roundtable Series, and a medical consultant and on-air talent for Discovery Health Channel. She has been a featured expert on The Today Show, CBS This Morning, and The Doctors, and is frequently interviewed as a medical expert for the Washington Post, and women's health magazines. She is an avid runner, snowboarder, and yogi, and is passionate about helping her patients live not just longer, but dirtier lives. In today's show I talk to Dr. Chutkan about the microbiome, probiotics, over-sanitization, corruption in the pharmaceutical industry, and how mothers can help their babies begin life with a healthy microbiome. Outline of This Great Episode [1:57] Welcome to our old friends and new friends alike! The Vidal Speaks Podcast is where you can learn about all kinds of ways to get well, why a plant-powered diet is the only diet that will reverse disease in the long run, the true causes of chronic disease, and the myths surrounding treatments. Most importantly, you will learn to take charge and heal yourself and those you love. I hope that this show will grow into a movement of people who take charge of their health! Please tune in every Wednesday and share this podcast with your friends. [3:33] In her 20-year practice, Vidal found that almost every patient who came to her, had a gut issue. [4:40] The overprescription of antibiotics has created a large population of sick people. [8:05] Dr. Chutkan transitioned into integrative medicine, after she saw lots of patients who wanted to know what lifestyle changes they should make to get better. [11:31] Many patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease use the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. [12:29] One patient's miraculous healing using diet inspired Dr. Chutkan to start finding ways to get her patients off of drugs. [14:09] Doctors want their patients to get better, but their educations have been hijacked by the pharmaceutical industry. [22:41] What is the “Velio Diet” for healing the gut? [25:47] Microbiota Accessible Carbohydrates are crucial for gut healing, and can be found in foods like leafy greens, oats and lentils. [28:47] Choose vegetables. [30:25] People are waking up to the importance of gut health. [31:38] We are more microbial than we are human. [33:04] Cleansers are contributing to disruption of the microbiome. [34:56] What is Triclosan, and why has the FDA said it must be taken out of personal care products? [35:30] Your hand sanitizer isn't doing what you intend it to do. [36:14] Eat clean and live dirty. [38:51] What is the Hygiene Hypothesis? [41:29] Healthy bacteria can crowd out a virus. [42:52] Instead of focusing on Germ Theory, focus on your body's microbial terrain. [44:07] There is no magic pill for good health. [46:08] To a very large degree, we are in control of our health.

[49:27] Your doctor isn't dangerous, but their training might be. [51:10] More physicians are becoming interested in food as medicine, often because of personal health crises. Dr. Chutkan was particularly driven by a desire to help her own daughter. [58:13] Pediatricians are much more likely to prescribe antibiotics when they feel like parents expect it. [59:13] Remember that you have the right to informed consent and refusal, and that no drugs come without side effects. [1:04:16] Dr. Chutkan's book, The Microbiome Solution, includes a recommended birth plan to help start your child's gut off right. There is even a solution for those that have to give birth via c-section. [1:05:53] Be open to educating your doctor. [1:07:05] During a colonoscopy, Dr. Chutkan and other gastroenterologists can tell a meat eater from a plant eater. [1:10:04] If you are not already a vegan, eat more plants! [1:12:32] The microbiome can change (for better or worse) very quickly. [1:13:52] Eating a good diet is far more important than taking a probiotic.
