PHTHALATES is a hidden chemical used in products such as “perfumes,
scented lotions, food packaging and even synthetic leathers” has been found,
that exposure to Phthalates
Correlates with Obesity and Diabetes in Men and in Women. Some
studies also report effects of phthalates on fertility, and sexual development.
The universe and humanity evolved
in a milieu of earthly chaos, therefore, this follow-up on the study reported
today on CNN is not to scandalize and prove that the
good-old-days were better - they were not. It is intended to find how today’s consumers
can prevent PHTHALATES contamination given the increased threat that if the
government regulates industries jobs will be lost and the economy will suffer.
The website Coming Clean has several links that can
help reduce contamination and exposure.
As per Our Stolen Future. Org “for several decades
phthalates use is widespread worldwide in softeners of plastics, oily
substances in perfumes, additives to hairsprays, lubricants and wood finishers.
That new car smell, which becomes especially pungent after the car has
been sitting in the sun for a few hours, is partly the pungent odor of
phthalates volatilizing from a hot plastic dashboard. In the evening's cool
they then condense out of the inside air of the car to form an oily coating on
the inside of the windshield.”
