Lately, we've seen medical studies which examined mankind's chemical burden on our environment and even what our bodies are exposed to. Today it is known by estimates, that we have created in the past 50 years an estimated 5,000,000 new chemicals!
ReplyDelete75,000 of those are currently used on a regular daily basis! Of those... 10% have even had a measurement of toxicity testing. This means those very same chemicals are now abundantly present in our environment. What that translates into is all those toxins and poisons in our environment are being absorbed through food, water, inhalation, and even absorption through our skin.
