Gender-Bender Chemicals are Turning Boys into Girls
Gender-Bender Chemicals are Turning Boys into Girls | March, 2010

An article recently published on NaturalNews.com discussed hormone-mimicking chemicals such as phthalates, bisphenol A (BPA), PVC and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB's) and how daily contact with these environmental toxins can oftentimes lead to hormonal imbalances and in some cases life-threatening diseases. According to the article, these chemicals build up inside our bodies and are resistant to environmental degradation, meaning that it takes a longer time for residual traces to dissipate. Scientists believe that these "endocrine disrupting chemicals" have attributed to a lower male birth rate, stating that, in the past, approximately 106 male children were born for every 100 females; however, recent studies have revealed that this trend has actually reversed. There's an overwhelming amount of evidence that suggests that this change is a direct result of xenoestrogens - man-made chemicals that have estrogenic effects throughout the body - being used in the manufacture of a wide variety of consumer-based products. In fact, it's estimated that communities residing within a close vicinity of chemical plants have a significantly lower male birth rate - about two girls for every one boy born.
Although environmental groups warn that there is little we can do to safe-guard ourselves and our families from environmental contaminants, our best bet is to eliminate household products and items that we use on daily basis that may jeopardize our health and well-being. Plastic water bottles, deodorants, holiday decorations, children's toys and canned goods should all be avoided at all costs. Where you live may play a role in elevating your risk too. If you think you may be suffering from a hormonal imbalance, hormone testing is available. Many symptoms are oftentimes ignored and swept under the rug - being that the symptoms are usually similar to those experienced during menopause and andropause (the male menopause), they're often dismissed as toils of aging. Being that hormonal imbalances can be either environmental or biological, the bioidentical hormone doctors at BodyLogicMD offer state-of-the-art testing facilities to pinpoint and identify the source of symptoms and treat the condition accordingly.
