I read this information previously and agree 100%. We are so overly exposed it's no wonder we're estrogen dominant. My GP and I were talking about shampoos and conditioners and one good one is Burt's Bees shampoo 99.6% pure. Free of sulfates, parabens, phthalate's petrochemicals. The conditioner is 98.6% pure. I cant help but believe that the bad chemicals in shampoos go into your skin because otherwise why do they not want pregnant women coloring their hair? Because it's harmful to a fetus. Anyway, I totally agree with this article. I eat nothing out of a can. I shop produce, organic as much as possible, and definitely buy hormone free milk. Hormones in milk are used to fatten cows. Imagine what it does to a person. I plan to go to organic laundry detergent, cut out dryer sheets for sure (these are toxic to cats), and plan to go organic with cleaning supplies, toothpaste, and already use an aluminum free deodorant (Nature's Gate) which is linked to Alzheimers (my father had it). You dont realize how much junk is in stuff until you start reading labels. Thanks for posting!

Probably a bit too late for us (after how many decades of exposure), but I have tried (on my limited budget) to get shampoos, soap, detergents, creams (majority have paragons in them), toothpaste (Jasons) that is SLS free, paraben-free, etc.

Did you know that KY Jelly & the usual lubricants have parabens in them, too? (Parabens are hormone-disruptors) So, I got a couple of natural lubes from the health food store, made by "Oceanus Naturals" (including a stimulating gel called "G" and a personal lubricant called "The Natural." I also got Zestra, but not so sure about that one yet.

Sunscreens are another hot topic -- the EWG (environmental working group) has their top 10 list.

I also avoid deli meats because they are preserved with nitrates (which are cancer-causing) -- unless I get "uncured" deli ... and only get red meat from cows that were grass fed (because they get antibiotics or hormones). I don't eat cheese, but consider your milk source there, too.

Of course, this didn't stop me from smoking for many years -- the crazy toxins they put in there are enough to scare the addiction out of anyone...

We do what we can. The internet is an amazing resource to check the facts. And it's always an education going to the health food store...

silly autocorrect: not paragons. Parabens!

sorry, I'm typing too fast and am tired... Grass fed Cows do Not get hormones or antibiotics. Unlike corn fed cows (which is unnatural -- ever see a cow eating in a cornfield? hence the need for antibiotics)
