Phthlates, parabens, persistent organic compounds… The list of odd named entities goes on. There are so many scary chemicals and toxins in our food, our personal care products, our household cleaners, the air we breath. Sometimes it can be easier to gently place our head in the sand and tell ourselves that ‘if it was unsafe, it they really had adverse health effects, our governments wouldn’t allow it to be used.’ Right?

Did you know that there are chemicals banned in one country, but not in another? Sunset yellow. Brilliant blue.

Research shows us that persistent organic pesticides were found in higher levels in Diabetics, regardless of body size.

Bisphenol A, also called BPA, has been linked to higher levels of testosterone in women, and increased risk of breast cancer. That’s why the Peter MacCallum Cancer Institute recommended against drinking water from plastic bottles and food from plastic containers, especially when heated.

We know that chemicals are linked to infertility, to overweight, to cancer. That they cause inflammation, that is linked to heart disease and more.

So is toxicity linked to PCOS? The short answer is yes!
