For decades, there has been serious concern about the environmental implications of hormone disrupting chemicals called "xeno-estrogens" or false estrogens. Literally translated, Xeno-estrogens are "foreign estrogens" that imitate estrogen and its effect on the body.
These types of products contain "foreign estrogens":
- Weed killers
- Sunscreen lotions that contain 4-MBC
- Food preservatives such as BHA
- Canned foods and plastics (BPA and BPA-S)
- Insecticides and pesticides
- Food Dyes
- Food chemicals that are used to protect fats and oils from becoming rancid
- Anti-perspirants that are made with Metalloestrogens or toxic metals
- Make ups and skin care products that have the preservative called paraben
- Tap water (most city waters are contaminated with estrogens from oral contraceptive pills)
- Detergents and surfactants
- Growth hormones in dairy and meat products
