I'm no health saint. Every now and then I do something really dumb. It's rare,

but I've been known to drink too much wine or beer and even indulge in the

occasional cigar. All of these are toxic and as a rogue chemist turned consumer

health advocate, I'm not proud of it. But it's my choice. And that's the point.

Exposing yourself to toxins should be a choice. But modern day society rarely

allows this. Many people are unknowingly poisoning themselves with man-made

industrial toxins. The gender bender known as triclosan serves as a poignant

example - and it makes my toxic indulgences seem as harmless as apple juice..

 

Triclosan is used in a nauseating array of household products such as

toothpastes, soaps and lotions. Synthesized over 30 years ago, it was once

thought to be a safe and effective antibiotic. But a recent UC Davis study shows

otherwise.

 

Scientists discovered that triclosan accumulates in the body - even when applied

topically - to eventually disrupt hormone activity. Once absorbed, the synthetic

toxin throws our thyroid and sex hormones out of whack, potentially leading to

obesity, infertility, cancer and age acceleration. The Centers for Disease

Control (CDC) recently discovered that a ghastly 75% of random people tested

were positive for triclosan!

 

There appears to be laws that protect us from such toxic exposure. Appearances

can be deceiving. In 1974, Congress passed the Safe Drinking Water Act. It

requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to determine safe levels of

toxins in drinking water and over the counter products like toothpastes and

soaps. These levels are called Maximum Contaminant Level Goals (MCLG). These are

merely goals, not laws. That's why the gender bending triclosan was recently

approved by the EPA for use in over 140 household products. There is simply no

law that requires its removal, despite the real and present danger.

 

The best way to avoid triclosan and many other toxins is to choose organic.

Natural soaps and the antibiotic zinc oxide work as good as triclosan at beating

infection. Most importantly, neither of them will poison you. And whether you're

poisoning yourself voluntarily or unknowingly, the best way to protect the body

from toxins is by boosting glutathione within the cells - this biological

cleaning agent escorts foreign molecules out of the body and into the toilet.

This is best achieved by consuming cruciferous vegetables, whey isolate and

alpha-lipoic acid.
