so today I want to touch on a chemical

called Bice phenol a BPA it’s actually a

chemical that is an endocrine disruptor

and what does that mean means a chemical

that mimics estrogen in the body and it

has a cumulative effects it builds up

over time it’s in plastic hands it’s in

bottled water and sent baby bottles it’s

all over the place it’s crazy I’m just

kidding this was supposed to be a

blooper okay and this is BPA free by the

way

here’s the thing it has a cumulative

effect and I think our bodies can deal

with a small amount but let’s say for

example you’re gonna you’re gonna get

pregnant okay or you’re you’re just had

a baby and you’re breastfeeding you

don’t want to be using these plastic

containers that you’re you stick in the

microwave and just pushing all this

plastic out use more glass porcelain

stainless steel when you cook and and

it’s gonna be really hard to eliminate

this completely but you just want to

minimize the exposure to it as much as

possible the other thing you can do to

help the situation is consume

cruciferous vegetables on a regular

basis cruciferous vegetables have unique

properties of dealing with endocrine

disruptors they help to dismantle and

remove some of these endocrine

disruptors from the body so that would

be something you can be proactive about

now also this chemical can increase

androgens as in polycystic ovarian

syndrome as well so if you have PCOS you

want to minimize the exposure to

plastics especially there’s also an

enzyme called aroma taste which will

convert testosterone into estrogen so it

makes more estrogen and this chemical

can stimulate this enzyme so if you have

more estrogen dominant symptoms this

could be the reason why and this also

creates the effect in men as you know

breast tissue low sperm counts low

testosterone that type of thing so the

important point about this is that

infants and children are more vulnerable

so some of the important takeaway from

this is that this chemical is

accumulative in the body so instead of

bond

a lot of water in plastic you know get a

filter in your house instead of buying

cans of water you can get one of those

machines and make your own carbonated

water that’s flavored there are things

that you can do use glass porcelain and

stainless steel and also start consuming

more cruciferous but if you have an

infant in the house or you have small

children or you are pregnant or your

wife is pregnant I would highly

recommend being very cautious about the

exposure of plastic and cans and baby

bottles and sippy cups and that type of

thing
