Are Your Household Products Causing You Cancer? WHO Finally Admits They Are.
A WHO (World Health Organization) study admits that certain household chemicals cause cancer, birth defects, and a host of other health issues. In the study, WHO says that certain common household products pose severe health problems, such as cancer, asthma, reduced fertility and even birth defects. This admitission by WHO, though, comes only after many people have suffered from the effect of chemicals sold by companies that had some sort of prior knowledge of the stated effects.
The agency even went so far as to suggest there are certain 'gender-bending' compounds found in PVC flooring, kids' toys and even credit cards should be banned in order to protect future generations. Seriously! Gender-bending compounds? So not only do you have to worry about you and your family getting some malignant cancer or other pernicious disease, but you also have to worry about whether or not your childs gender will be influenced by the stuff under your sink, in their toy box, or in the floors and walls.
The researchers at WHO also have linked other health issues (breast, prostate and thyroid cancers, testicular problems, developmental effects on children's nervous systems, attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity in kids) to the effects of these endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs).Here is a piece of the article:
"Human health depends on a well-functioning endocrine system to regulate the release of certain hormones that are essential for functions such as metabolism, growth and development, sleep and mood. Some substances known as endocrine disruptors can alter the function(s) of this hormonal system increasing the risk of adverse health effects. Some EDCs occur naturally, while synthetic varieties can be found in pesticides, electronics, personal care products and cosmetics. They can also be found as additives or contaminants in food.
The UN study, which is the most comprehensive report on EDCs to date, highlights some associations between exposure to EDCs and health problems including the potential for such chemicals to contribute to the development of non-descended testes in young males, breast cancer in women, prostate cancer in men, developmental effects on the nervous system in children, attention deficit /hyperactivity in children and thyroid cancer."
Well people, if you believe that this information is just becoming known then you're as foolish as they hoped you'd be. If this information is being made available to the public by such a large and global organization, then you can be absolutly certain that it was already know the those 'who needed to know'. This isn't to say that every ailment and sickness we deal with is related to some household chemical, but one thing is certain: a great amount of them are. And this is straight from the horses mouth, so to speak.
