When you consider that this century has been called "the age of chemistry," it is not surprising that there alarmists shout has more available clean air to breathe or water to drink.
Man-made chemicals have changed our lives. Pesticides on almost all of our Food, food processing themselves, thousands of toxins in our drinking water, use of deodorants, cologne, glue, paint, carpet, car exhaust, detergents and softeners, are our bodies 24 hours a day. And it these same chemicals found in our food and air that keep us from losing unwanted weight. Yes, they choke metabolism.
To meet the global demand for these products, the annual global production of chemicals, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), is about 1.5 trillion dollars. The WHO reports that some 100,000 chemicals are now on the market and that 1,000 to 2,000 new is added each year.
Often, these chemicals are poorly reported safe in the first emitted into our environment, as in the case of DDT. The Scientists later learned that DDT tends to stay long in organisms, which is also the case with other potential toxins. DDT itself is forbidden or severely restricted in over 40 countries to date because of its composition and effects extremely harmful.
Chemicals that mimic hormones
Hormones are important chemical messengers in the body. They travel through our bloodstream to other parts of our body, where they stimulate or suppress a certain function, such as growth of body or reproductive cycles. Interestingly, a recent press release by WHO stated that "a rapidly growing body of scientific evidence" indicates that certain synthetic chemicals, when taken into the body, interfere with hormones or by imitating them in a harmful way or block.
The chemicals involved include PCBs, dioxins, furans, and certain pesticides including DDT residues. Called endocrine disruptors, these chemicals may disrupt normal endocrine body, the source of hormones.
A hormone that these chemicals mimic the female sex hormone estrogen. A study published in the medical journal Pediatrics suggests that the increased prevalence of early puberty many young girls could be related with estrogen-containing hair products and environmental chemicals that mimic estrogen.
Exposing a male to certain chemicals at a critical time of development may also have side effects. "Experiments have shown, says a report in the Discover magazine, "as PCBs applied at the right time during development can change the turtles male and female alligators or" intersex people ".
In humans, children are those most affected by chemicals that mimic hormones. Children born to women who ingested oil contaminated rice in Japan in years ago "suffered impaired physical and mental, behavioral problems including hypoactivity and hyperactivity, abnormally small penises, and IQ by five points below average, "Discover Magazine reports. Tests on Children exposed to high levels of PCBs in the Netherlands and North America showed the same negative effects on their physical and mentally.
Also related to these chemicals, the WHO reports, May has increased "hormone sensitive" cancers in men and women, such as breast, testicular and prostate cancer. In addition, a number of countries, the decline obviously being in the average number sperm in males and sperm quality, may be linked to increased use of chemicals. In some land, the average sperm count has almost halved in 50 years.
It is not surprising that funeral directors are now listed as using less liquid than the embalming was common a hundred years ago (some sources list 30% less). Could it be that we ourselves was slowly embalming with artificial preservatives during the period of our life?
