There are many chemicals in the foods we eat on a daily basis that contain huge amounts of environmental pesticides, herbicides, petrochemicals that are working as “proestrogens”. These chemicals may have a cumulative “pro-estrogenic” effect upon living organisms, causing chaos in the human body, throughout the process of "chemical confusion." Thus, xenoestrogens are representing a part of the larger picture of a process termed “estrogenisation” of the environment. You will not be surprised why breast cancer, metabolic syndrome with morbid obesity and the process of progressive feminization of men is constantly increasing.
Our nowadays kitchen is refilled with xenoestrogens. They are novel, man-made compounds with a pronounced pro-estrogenic effect that differs from the naturally estrogens produced by the living organisms. Hence, they are chemicals that we are exposed to and that have a pronounced estrogenic effect. Excess exposure to such chemicals can cause hormone imbalance for both men and women. You may wonder whatever the expression of this disbalance is. Men are converting in women, while women get breast cancers, endometriosis, infertility, and adenomyiosis with accelerated proportions. These estrogenic chemicals we are exposed to on a daily basis can stimulate our bodies to store visceral fat (a whole mark of the metabolic syndrome), along with causing many other health problems. Xenoestrogens, in other words, can wreak havoc in the body for both guys and gals.
Environmental exposure to toxins, chemicals and additives: September 16, 2008, marked the publication of an extensive National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) on the plastic additive known as Bisphenol-A (BPA), linked to metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and CVD. The authors of the study found that elevated urinary levels of bisphenol A (BPA) raised the chances of having diabetes or a history of cardiovascular events, according to a previous study(NHANES, 2003-2004).
Bisphenol is a chemical used in polycarbonate plastic production; it is in the epoxy resins used to line the inside of food cans. The overwhelming majority of people living in industrialized countries are believed to have it in abundance into their bodies. BPA is thought to bind to estrogen receptors and mimic some of hormone's physiologic activities. Although studies of its effects in humans are scarce, there are suggestions that BPA can interfere with the neurologic or reproductive systems and has a strong damaging effect on pancreatic beta cells. An analytical study done by Lang et al. (2008) is the first-ever large-scale study on BPA in a human population. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP) officially announced that BPA was detected in the urine of 93% of the tested participants in the overall NHANES database, a finding that indicated widespread exposure to BPA in the general U.S. population and its concentrations varied inversely with age and income, and women had higher levels than men (CDC, 2007).
But there is some light in the tunnel. You can fight these chemicals naturally. How? There is a specific class of teas and vegetables that contain phytonutrients that may help you to remove xenostregens away of your body. They are formulated with a common name- CRUCIFEROUS. Between them are: broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale, and cabbage, containing specific and unique phytonutrients. The active mechanism of action behind these phytonutrients is a substance known as indole-3-carbinol (I3C). Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is a subject of future research into its possible antioxidant and anticarcinogenic, and antiatherogenic effects.
