Welcome back. I appreciate you subscribing to my RSS feed. Thanks again.

Today, I’d like to introduce you to information about toxins and carcinogens in our everyday usage and how they destroy overall environmental quality.  Unfortunately, the FDA does not look out for us when it comes to personal care and household cleaning products – we’re on our own! The best defense is to choose products from a company which doesn’t pollute.

My family has chosen to to use a company that doesn’t pollute the environment (or us) with their products.  Our choice is Neways International. They have been given the Seal of Safety from the Cancer Prevention Coalition which found all of its products to be free of toxins and carcinogens. …one of the many reasons why I chose to affiliate with Neways.

Check out the article excerpt and see my action steps to protect yourself and your family.

Pollution in People

By: Shelley Page and Susan Allan, Ottawa Citizen

During the past 50 years, breast cancer incidence has climbed 90 per cent.

Lung cancer rates have jumped more than 600 per cent.

Non-Hodgkins lymphoma, a cancer tied to a weakened immune system, has increased 250 per cent.

Asthma affects more kids than ever before.

Biomonitoring tests reveal toxic chemicals are in all of us, on that everyone seems to agree.

So what does it mean to human health? Scientists are only beginning to explore the links.

Infants start life polluted with PCBs, pesticides and 200 industrial chemicals. Rocket fuel laces their mother’s breast milk. Carcinogens, hormone disruptors and the chemicals used to make GOR-TEX and Teflon infuse everyone’s blood.

New technology is making it possible to find ever smaller concentrations of chemicals in people’s blood.

Last year, the Environmental Working Group in Washington, D.C., released Body Burden: The Pollution in People, a study that examined the levels of 210 chemicals in nine people. In April, the World Wildlife Federation tested 39 members of the European Parliament for 101 compounds.

Until recently, Canadians stayed out of the bloodletting. Then last week the Toronto-based group Environmental Defence announced it had tested 11 Canadians for 88 chemicals believed to be either carcinogenic or to disrupt reproduction, hormonal function and/or interfere with fetal development. The study found, on average, participants had 44 chemicals in their bodies.

Renowned artist and environmentalist Robert Bateman was one of the test subjects. Despite eating organic food, using environmentally friendly cleaners and living on an idyllic West Coast island, his body was revealed to be a repository for 48 toxins: heavy metals; PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls used in electrical transformers and now banned); PBDEs (polybrominate d diphenyl ethers used as fire retardants); PFOs (perfluorinated chemicals used in stain repellents, non-stick cookware and food packaging), pesticides and insecticides.

“I had no idea when they were taking those samples out of my arm that there was a possibility that all those chemicals could be in there,” a bewildered Bateman told a journalist.

The Canadian report raised more questions than it answered.

Does the fact our bodies are laden with chemicals mean anything? Are the increasing number of cancers, fertility problems, auto-immune diseases, autism and other horrors related to these chemicals in our bodies? Can we trace learning difficulties, mental illness and brain fog to the chemicals our bodies absorbed as far back as the womb? Were the harsh pollutants found in Mr. Bateman and others in concentrations considered dangerous? If the majority of the studies’ participants were healthy, at it appears, does this mean the toxic findings are meaningless?

For half a century, advancing societies have pumped the global environment full of synthetic chemicals, while realizing previously unimagined benefits.

But during these five decades, our bodies, particularly our fat cells, have become storage tanks for the byproducts of vastly improved lifestyles.

Environmental activists call this “chemical body burden” — the price of technological advance.

As early as this Thursday, the European Union is expected to vote on legislation that would overhaul chemical regulations in the EU and force businesses to prove their products are safe. The Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH) legislation would phase out chemicals found to be carcinogenic.

Last Tuesday in Brussels, a group representing two million physicians urged members of the European Parliament to pass the legislation.

“We are in a serious situation,” Dr. Dominique Belpomme told the legislators. “Some 75 per cent of cancers are due to mutations induced by environmental factors, mainly chemicals.”
