do you have any idea how many chemicals are now present in the body tissues of every one of us? Deliberate ingestion is just one mode.

some of these chemicals affect the developing fetus before the women even knows she is pregnant

A substance that even touches the skin is absorbed into the organs within 20 minutes, and some of the chemicals accumulate. I think it’s possible not only our air, food and drug chain but our “beauty” industry has a something to do with the epidemic of unhealthy children being born to middle and upperclass women

I think you're correct about the constant onslaught our bodies face from chemicals. I went "pure foods and environment"4 1/2 years ago. Of course pure means avoiding not all chemicals, but as many as are in your control.

So far, so good. It takes a few years to cleanse ones body, but it's worth it. JMHO

Do you have any idea how many chemicals are now present in the body tissues of every one of us?

Why yes, I do. For instance I weigh 184 pounds; therefore there are 184 pounds of chemicals in my body.
