"A new study from the University of California, San Francisco reveals that 100 percent of expectant mothers (sample size = 268) are contaminated with highly toxic synthetic chemicals. The study, published inEnvironmental Health Perspectives, concluded, “Certain PCBs, organochlorine pesticides, PFCs, phenols, PBDEs, phthalates, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and perchlorate were detected in 99 to 100% of pregnant women.”
These chemicals are known to exhibit various harmful effects on human biology, covering everything from neurological and infertility problems tocancerand hormonal disorders. Many of thechemicalsfound in these women have been banned for not just years, but decades."

"If you want to protect yourself from these toxic chemicals, here’s how to do it:
#1) Don’t put anything on your skin you wouldn’t eat! Avoid all mainstream consumer skin care, cosmetics and personal care products, period! Need soap? Trynatural, organic brands like Dr Bronner’s, AnnMarie Gianni or Pangea Organics.
#2) Don’t eatfoodsmade with chemicals you can’t pronounce. Read theingredientslabels. If the list of ingredients is too long and complex to figure out, it’s probably made more with chemicals than actual food.
#3) Don’t poison yourbodywith over-the-counter drugs or prescription pharmaceuticals. If you do need to use medication for short-term emergency use, be sure to detoxify yourliverafterwards.
#4) Detox your liver, kidneys and colon at least once a year. You can do this with ajuicefastcombined withdetoxsupplements such as those offered bywww.GlobalHealingCenter.comorwww.BaselineNutriti onals.com(get professional guidance from a naturopath before fasting).
#5) Drink more water. Most people simply don’t consume enough water to effectively remove toxins from their bodies. If you don’t like water by itself, drink fresh vegetable juices such as celery or cucumber juice (which are actually structured water).
#6) Cleanse your body with parsley, alfalfa, red clover, chlorella or chlorophyll. All these substances can help cleanse your body and eliminate toxic substances that may be detrimental to yourhealth.
#7) Don’t fill your home or apartment with products that off-gas toxic chemicals: Air fresheners, perfumed candles, particle board furniture, carpets, glues, etc.
#8) Don’t cook onnon-stick cookware. These are the worst! Invest in quality copper-clad stainless steel pans and use those. They’ll last a lifetime and they don’t contaminate your body with chemicals. Don’t eat at restaurants that use non-stickcookware. (That’s just about every restaurant in the world, it seems…)
#9) Buy certifiedorganicproducts. In the USA, theUSDA Organic Sealis a trusted seal that genuinely indicates organic quality (both in foods and personal care products). Don’t be fooled by brand names that use the word “organics” in their name but aren’t really organic. For example, “Bob’s Organics” may or may not actually be organic. The Organic Consumers Association (www.OrganicConsumers.org) can keep you posted on what’s what.
#10) Get the cancer out of your laundry! Stop washing your clothes in toxic brand-name laundrydetergents, and stop using brand-name fabric softeners or dryer sheets. Do you have any idea what chemicals are used in those products? The truth would astonish you.
And, of course, keep reading NaturalNews.com to stay up to speed on what’s really good for you versus things that actually threaten your health. There is absolutely no question that the average chemical contamination ofNaturalNewsreaders isfar below thatof typical American consumers.
Stay healthy by staying informed. Don’t become another contaminated victim of the chemical industry."
