Dangerous sources of EDC's.
What is your beauty routine doing to you? The endocrine-disrupting chemicals that are found in your cosmetics, skin care products, hair care products and even tooth paste are effecting your fertility, heart health and weight.
The average woman uses about 12 personal care products per day containing harmful EDC's. These include: Phthalates, Bisphenol A, Triclosan and Parabens.
Phthalates are used in plastics and have been found in breast milk, saliva, blood and urine. Studies have found that phthalates can effect onset of puberty in women and affect cardiovascular health. BPA is found in some skin care and sanitizing products and can cause obesity. Triclosan was found to impact pregnancy and parabens may negatively influence ovarian reserve and contribute to ovarian aging and infertility.
Heavy metals are also in many of your cosmetic products alone.
LEAD: lower IQ, impair memory and other cognitive functions, cancer causing
ARSENIC: asthma, heart disease, gastrointestinal issues, skin, lung and gastrointestinal cancers
MERCURY: potent neurotoxin that destroys brain cells
ALUMINUM: Alzheimer's disease
