Obesogens and Weight Gain
"Simply put, obesogens are chemicals that
disrupt the function of our hormonal system, leading to weight gain and
many of the diseases that curse the American populace. They enter out
bodies from a variety of sources-from natural compounds
found in soy products, from artificial hormones fed to our animals,
from plastic pollutants in some food packaging, from chemicals added to
processed foods, and from pesticides sprayed on our produce. They act
in a variety of ways-mimicking human hormones such as estrogen, blocking
the action of other hormones such as testosterone, and, in some cases,
altering the functions of our genes and essentially programming us to
gain weight." (Perrine, 2010) from the book Why Diets are Failing Us! by Peter Greenlaw, Dennis Harper, Drew Greenlaw
This is a great read. Check it out!
Another reason why I have adopted nutritional cleansing. It's healthy, what our body needs, and easy to do!
