Toxic mothers

Study finds that 99% of pregnant women has toxic chemicals in their bodies. Make no mistake! If women of childbearing age have toxins in their bodies, so does the rest of the population.

"The percent of pregnant women with detectable levels of an individual chemical ranged from 0 to 100 percent. Certain PCBs, organochlorine pesticides, PFCs, phenols, PBDEs, phthalates, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and perchlorate were detected in 99 to 100% of pregnant women. The median number of detected chemicals by chemical class ranged from 4 (out of 12 PFCs) to 9 (out of 13 phthalates). Across chemical classes, median number ranged from 8 (out of 17 chemical analytes) to 50 (out of 71 chemical analytes). We found, generally, levels in pregnant women were similar or lower than levels in non-pregnant women, adjustment for covariates tended to increase levels in pregnant women compared to non-pregnant women."

Women, who already had children tend to have less chemicals in their bodies as during pregnancy they pass the toxins on to their fetuses and babies.
