What Toxic Chemicals & Heavy Metals Affect My Health?

For your benefit and education, we have included the lists below covering the more common toxic heavy metals and chemicals.

CLEANSE

Top 20 Reasons Why You Need A Chemical & Heavy Metals Cleanse:

• 1 - One out of every ten women of childbearing age has dangerously high concentrations of mercury¹ "…within one tenth of potentially hazardous levels" in their bloodstream.
• 2 - Many people have developed colitis from chronic ingestion of mercury-containing laxatives.
• 3 - Industrial contaminants (such as dioxins, PCBs, and mercury), microbial contaminants (such as E. coli), and natural contaminants (such as aflatoxin) [can be found in foods]."²
• 4 - "In 1994, 62% of all food samples tested by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Pesticide Data Program (PDP) had detectable levels of at least one pesticide."³
• 5 - "PDP data from 1994-96 … [stated 25] percent of the food samples tested had detectable levels of carcinogenic (cancer causing) pesticides, and 34%" possessed detectable levels of neurotoxic pesticides.⁴
• 6 - Some studies estimate 99% of the breastmilk in women residing in the United States contains measurable levels of DDT (Dichloro-Diphenyl-Trichloroethane), the first modern toxic chemical pesticide.
• 7 - In the United States, eight times more antibiotics are used for the livestock industry than for human inoculation against disease.⁵
• 8 - In a study where pigs were fed large amounts of synthetic B vitamins, the pigs produced sterile offspring. Synthetic vitamins provide no nutritional value-they are poisonous!
• 9 - Chlorine, acetone peroxide, benzoyl peroxide, and nitrogen dioxide are the most common oxidizing agents used during white flour processing in the production of white bread.
• 10 - The Center for Science in the Public Interest, a nutritional lobbying group, claims that sodium chloride (common table salt) could be "… the single deadliest ingredient in the food supply."⁶
• 11 - MSG is a toxic substance and causes adverse reactions, brain lesions, endocrine disorders, and other negative health problems."⁷
• 12 - "The chemical, acrylamide, which is used industrially in the manufacturing of some plastics, is also apparently formed by the heating of starches. Foods with especially high levels of the chemical included French fries, potato chips and crackers."⁸
• 13 - An alarming study published in the American Journal of Public Health estimates a 95% risk of developing cancer from regular consumption of chlorinated tap water!⁹
• 14 - After being inside the body for 20 minutes, Aspartame begins breaking down from its original compound into methanol, formaldehyde (a Class-A carcinogen used to embalm corpses) and formic acid (ant venom).
• 15 - Over 70% of the world's coffee supply is contaminated with toxic pesticides and chemicals. It's estimated that just one cup of coffee contains more than 2,000 chemicals, many of which are gastrointestinal irritants and cancer-causing agents. Also, the high heat used in roasting coffee beans causes the natural oils to turn rancid, further contributing to its chemical load.
• 16 - Playing and crawling on a typical floor exposes babies to contaminants such as dust mites, mold and mildew. Just one day of exposure introduces the equivalent of four cigarettes into an infant's lungs.¹⁰
• 17 - "Every year, indoor air pollution is responsible for the death of 1.6 million people - that's one death every 20 seconds…due to pneumonia, chronic respiratory disease and lung cancer…"¹¹
• 18 - The EPA lists over eighty "regulated" contaminants found in tap water such as chlorine, fluoride, arsenic, and numerous pesticides. This figure doesn't even include unregulated toxins such as perchlorate (a chemical found in rocket fuel!).
• 19 - The National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) estimates "…as many as 56 million people in the 25 states reviewed by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency … have been drinking water with unsafe levels of arsenic..."! ¹² Arsenic is the number 1 cancer causing agent!
• 20 - Bottled water, infant formulas, toothpaste, mouthwash and even vitamin supplements, now contain fluoride! Fluorides are more toxic than lead and only slightly less poisonous than arsenic.

Western Diet a Chief Culprit

NewsRx.com

Women who fill their diets with red or processed meats, french fries, white bread, and sugary desserts may have an increased risk of colon cancer, according to a new study.

Researchers followed more than 76,000 women for 12 years to determine how their dietary patterns affect the risk for colon and rectal cancers. They identified two main patterns: the "prudent" diet consisting primarily of fruit, vegetables, fish, and whole grains and the "Western" diet consisting mainly of red meat, fried foods, refined grains, and desserts. The results revealed a significant association between the Western diet and the risk of colon cancer.

Findings were published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.

The "Western diet" has been linked to an increased risk of colon cancer for several reasons. According to Teresa Fung, ScD, RD, LDN, lead researcher and assistant professor at the department of nutrition at Simmons College, in Boston, "Red meats are cooked in high heat and may generate nitrosamines, which may be carcinogenic. Many processed meats are preserved with nitrites, and may also be converted to nitrosamine in the gut." In other words, the processes of cooking or preserving meat may produce cancer-causing chemicals.

In addition, consuming white bread rather than whole-wheat may make a difference. Fung explained, "Refined grains may increase insulin levels. Insulin, being a mitogen, may promote the carcinogenic process if transformed cells already exist." More simply, the consumption of refined grains like pasta or white bread can raise insulin levels in the body. Insulin can cause cell division and potentially turn precancerous cells into cancerous ones.

While other studies have suggested an association between dietary habits and colorectal cancer, none have the scientific validity of this current study. "This is the first, large prospective study to look at dietary patterns and colon cancer," explained Walter Willett, MD, DrPH, one of the key researchers and professor of epidemiology and nutrition and chair, department of nutrition, at the Harvard School of Public Health. According to Willet, because the study was "prospective and large, the findings are more credible than the findings of prior studies."

The findings of this study underscore the importance of dietary habits, along with regular screening, in the prevention of cancer. According to Willett, patients can also reduce the risk of colon cancer by staying lean and exercising regularly, avoiding cigarette smoking and high alcohol consumption (greater than two drinks per day). Willett also pointed out that "there is quite strong evidence that a RDA multiple vitamin will reduce the risk, probably by ensuring adequate intake of folic acid."

Fast Food

Hamburgers and French fries could be as addictive as heroin, scientists have claimed. Researchers in the United States have found evidence to suggest people can become overly dependent on the sugar and fat in fast food. The controversial findings add weight to claims that over-eating is simply down to a lack of self-control. It may also explain soaring rates of obesity in the western world.

Dr John Hoebel and colleagues at Princeton University in New Jersey based their theory on a study of rats.

'Cold turkey'

They found that rats fed a diet containing 25% sugar are thrown into a state of anxiety when the sugar is removed. Their symptoms included chattering teeth and the shakes - similar to those seen in people withdrawing from nicotine or morphine, according to researchers. Dr Hoebel said he believed high-fat foods stimulate opioids or 'pleasure chemicals' in the brain. "The implication is that some animals - and by extension some people - can become overly dependent on sweet food," he said.

Further studies published in New Scientist magazine back up this theory.

Ann Kelley, a neuroscientist at the University of Wisconsin Medical School, studied the behaviour of rats after the were given sweet, salty and fatty foods. She found a link between the brain's pleasure chemicals and a craving for this type of food. She stimulated the rats' brains with a synthetic version of the natural opioid enkephalin. This caused rats to eat up to six times their normal intake of fat. In addition, Dr Kelley identified long-lasting changes in rats' brain chemistry - similar to those caused by extended use of morphine or heroin. Dr Kelley said: "This says that mere exposure to pleasurable tasty foods is enough to change gene expression and that suggests that you could be addicted to food."

However, other experts expressed doubts over whether people can become addicted to food.

Michael Jacobson, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a nutrition lobby group in Washington DC, said there was a lack of evidence. "I think the burden is on advocates of the addiction argument to provide evidence of addiction," he said.

Dr Jeane Randolph, from the University of Toronto, dismissed the theory. She said fast food causes blood sugar to peak and then plunge, creating a natural desire for another snack. "It's a set-up for a late-afternoon binge rather than addiction," she said.
