The endocrine system controls the body’s chemical messages through hormones. Hormones are secreted directly into the blood by the endocrine glands: pineal, hypothalmus, pituitary, adrenal, thyroid, thymus, pancreas, ovaries and testes. The glands release carefully measured amounts of chemicals into the bloodstream to regulate important functions including growth and development, reproduction, healthy weight, mood and organ performance. An endocrine disruptor is a chemical that either mimics or blocks hormones and disrupts the body’s normal functions. This disruption can happen through altering normal hormone levels, halting or stimulating the production of hormones, or interacting directly with the organ the hormone was meant to regulate. Because hormones work at very small doses, endocrine disruption can occur from low-dose exposure to hormonally active chemicals. Low doses over long periods of time may lead to very serious illnesses.

As much as I dislike GMOs, correlation studies are nothing more than observations.
ReplyDeleteClinical studies are what is required to show causation between organ disease and GMOS.
Kapish?
People have to use their common sense and not wait for clinical studies or anything else. All kinds of cancers and other diseases are way way up and GMOs and their closely associated monsanto Round-Up have a very suspicious record. I would not wish on any person to be in a long-term study control group.
ReplyDeleteThe more each of us can stop consuming all processed foods, anything out of a box or a can, the better off we will be. The more locally organically grown food the better off we will be.
If you do this, you will see an immediate improvement in many of your symptoms.
Forget the sceience and forget the M.D.s and ignore most of the supplement ads and guests on alternative media.
Our food supply has been taken control of, just as has every other aspect of our lives. Break of the control system as much as you can in your own situation.
