Yikes! Are You Eating Plastic?

A study 2 years ago showed 100% of healthy pregnant women and their babies had dangerously high levels of BPAs (plastics) in their bodies. If 100% of pregnant women are toxic, what does that make the rest of us? Toxic as well of course.

Plastics cause all kinds of havoc in our cells. They interfere with Omega 3s, leading to oxidative stress, poor brain function and hormone dysfunction. They damage the pancreas, prevent our bodies from detoxifying and promote cancer cell growth. They bind to zinc, leading to a cascading chain malfunction of vitamins, contributing to depression, heart disease, cancer, aging and diabetes. They interfere with proper cholesterol metabolism resulting in high cholesterol levels.

They are nothing short of something that does not belong in your body. Avoid them at all costs - eliminate canned goods, drinks and food stored in plastic and cooking in plastic. Eat lots of greens and include supplements like chlorella, bentonite or natural cell defense to trap and remove them.

It's best to eat natural whole foods to maintain your health.
