Plastics chemical in diabetes link

By WC Douglass MD

I've warned you plenty about the risks of phthalate exposure for kids: These hormone-like chemicals used in plastics, cosmetics, scented candles, and more cause everything from bad behavior to developmental problems. 

And if you have a boy but wish "he" was a "she," just light the candles and let him inhale -- because phthalates mimic estrogen in the body. It's one of the main reasons boys are growing up to be sissies, complete with their own set of breasts. 

But forget the kids, because today I want to talk about how these chemicals can ruin YOU, starting with a dramatic boost in your risk of diabetes. 

I'm sure most people don't need much help in that department, thanks to the one-two punch of the modern diet and sedentary lifestyle. 

But if you're teetering on the brink of disease, phthalates can push you right over the edge -- because a new study on 1,000 senior Swedish women finds that high blood levels of these chemicals will DOUBLE your risk. 

This isn't exactly a stunner since phthalates have been linked in studies to insulin resistance, high blood glucose, weight gain, increased abdominal fat, and all the other usual suspects that work in cahoots with diabetes. 

But it's one thing to know all that. It's quite another to actually do something about it, because avoiding phthalates is practically a full-time job. 

Most personal items with fragrance of any kind contain them, including candles and air fresheners. They're also in shower curtains, vinyl flooring, upholstery, sealants, inks, and more. 

Phthalate fumes are even responsible for the so-called "new car smell." 

Like I said, it's not easy -- but do the best you can here for yourself and the rest of your family. Everyone's health is on the line. 

Fuming over fumes, 

William Campbell Douglass II, M.D.

GMO-s in Canada

The second generation of GMO-s are already out; plants with vaccines, human proteins, medications and plastics in them! GMO-s cannot be controlled in the wild, contamination cannot be contained. What your government is doing to protect the public? Nothing! The studies of the effects of GMO-s on human health was also stopped!

Teenagers carry 30% more BPA in their bodies than the rest of the population

"Teenagers may carry the highest levels of bisphenol A – about 30 per cent more than the rest of the population, according to the first national survey about the compound conducted by Statistics Canada, but exposure to the estrogen-mimicking chemical is widespread, with detectible levels in 91 per cent of Canadians." Read the full article here.


It has also been detected in the umbilical cord blood of 90% of newborn babies who were tested!

BPA, a product of the petro-chemical industry, can be found in plastics, baby products, CD-s, in the lining of tin cans, in the lining of the paper they print your receipt on and a whole lot of other products such as flame retardants or white dental fillings!  

It is a well known endocrine disruptor, mimicking estrogen therefore can contribute to hormone related cancers such as breast cancer, prostate cancer and testicular cancer; can damage sperm and therefore can contribute to infertility, it may also be one of the causes of early onset of puberty in girls and can have an effect on early brain and neurological development.

Canada is the first country to ban BPA in baby bottles.

The biggest producers of BPA are Bayer, Dow, GE Plastics, Shell and Mitsubishi, Mitsui (Japan), and Wuxi Resin in China, Kesar in India.

I have known about how harmful plastics are for a long time, but from now on, I will stop using plastic bottles to carry my drinking water around and also will stop buying canned food including fish, sauces, vegetables, etc.
