Xenoestrogens are known to interfere with normal human hormone production and utilization.
They have been linked to miscarriages, early puberty, endometriosis, cancers, and obesity.
In addition, xenoestrogens can become stored in fat cells because our body has difficulty breaking them down.
They can be found in many foods, cleaning products, drinks (aspartame), and personal hygiene items.
Here are a few tips to avoid them:
- Use Glycerine products, hand wash, and shower gels
- Buy bars of soap instead of gels
- Try to avoid all products containing Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS) This is a chemical used to clean workshops and garage floors and remove grease. And yes, they do put it in those wonderful shampoos and shower gels with flower perfumes, etc. etc.
- Wash your underwear, pants, and bra in baby or wool (Norit or equivalent) washing liquid or powder.
- Avoid fabric softeners on your underwear. Jumpers and dresses and trousers are fine.
- When using conditioners for your hair, lean forward, spread it in the ends of your hair, and wash it out.
- Use olive oil or butter, or any other kind of oil that you are happy with, avoid margarine at all costs.
- Avoid preserved cold meats, especially the ones in packets full of E numbers. Jamon Serrano and all air-dried meats are fine.
- Avoid fresh tuna, they eat the things on the bottom of the sea.
