A Xenoestrogen & Endocrine Disruptor Thread

[Pacific Highlander]

Corporation fucked the world like a back alley whore. Even if you aren't keen on the environment it might be a good idea to take note.



Phytoestrogens:
Soy, Flax/Sesame, Oats/Barley, Beans/Lentils, Yams, Rice, Apples, Carrots, Pomegranates, Wheat germ, Mint, Hops/Beer, Fennel, Anise.
It is well known that large levels of phytoestrogens decrease testosterone in men and effect healthy levels of estrogen in women.

Bisphenol A (BPA):
Commonly found in plastic bottles/food containers, canned food, infant formula, receipt paper. Causes elevated rates of diabetes, mammary and prostate cancers, decreased sperm count, reproductive problems, early puberty, and obesity.

Bisphenol S (BPS):
Found in receipts, plastics, and household dust. BPS is used in place of BPA in “BPA free” items. Still it has been shown to be as much an endocrine disruptor as BPA.

Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB):
A class of chlorinated compounds used as industrial coolants and lubricants. Exposure increases the risk of skin cancer, liver cancer, and brain cancer. Monsanto tried for years to downplay the health problems related to PCB exposure in order to continue sales. Between 1952 and 1977, the New York GE plant had dumped more than 500,000 pounds of PCB waste into the Hudson River. PCB's were first discovered in the environment far from its industrial use by scientists in Sweden.



Phthalates:
Make plastics bend and are found in some soft toys, flooring, medical equipment, cosmetics and air fresheners. They disrupt the endocrine system of animals, and lead to rise of birth defects of the male reproductive system.They are poisoning your children.

Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT):
Inhibit the proper development of female reproductive organs and decrease fertility in adult males. “Twenty years after its widespread use DDT was found trapped in ice samples taken from Antarctic snow, suggesting wind and water are another means of environmental transport”


Additional Additives:
Fragrance & soap ingredients, Sunscreen (which blocks vit D), Pesticides, Insecticides, Fungicides, Herbicides (All present in mass produced grains), and Contraceptives.

They don’t care about your health. They care about profits.

Leave modernity and head for places far from urban centers. Become self reliant and don’t consume their products. It may be difficult at first but it’s not impossible.

Environmentalism could be about clean air, clean streets and parks in cities, clean waters, rivers and oceans, unspoiled nature areas...instead it's about getting you to eat bugs, veganism, carbs and nebulous "climate change.

Bureaucratic environmentalists, ie: the ones pushing the notion that carbon output from Western countries is the biggest enemy to planet earth. When in reality the destruction of specific eco systems by plastics, deforestation and third world environmental negligence is far worse.

Yep. Both men and women should take at least 500mg of calcium d glucarate and/or 400mg of indole 3 carbinol for a month or two per year to detoxify the liver.

Oh no! Not my beer! It's my baby! This has to be a mistake.

Don't worry, not every type of beer. Mostly hoppy IPA's

IPAs are some of the best though. That's tough. Good thing I switch to lighter beers in the warmer months.
