How Toxins Make You Fat: 4 Steps to Get Rid
of Toxic Weight
by Dr Mark Hyman – February 20,2012
Scientists recently uncovered a surprising and
disturbing fact: environmental toxins make you fat
and cause diabetes.
Inside the body, these chemicals monkey with our ability to
balance blood sugar and metabolize cholesterol. Over time, the changes can lead to
insulin resistance.
This discovery should be headline news but no one is talking about it. Why? Because
there are no drugs to treat it. In the quest to conquer the two biggest epidemics of our
time—diabetes and obesity—we’ve got to turn our attention to the heavy burden
environmental toxins put on our bodies.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Report on Human Exposure
to Environmental Chemicals, found that nearly every person they tested was packing
a host of nasty chemicals, including flame retardants stored in fatty tissue and BPA
(Bisphenol A), a hormone-like substance found in plastics, excreted in urine.
Even babies are contaminated. The average newborn has 287 chemicals in
her umbilical cord blood, 217 of which are neurotoxic (poisonous to nerves
or nerve cells).
