Hello joyous readers!

"Endocrine disrupters", heard this before? These are chemicals that do a great job at messing up your hormones by increasing levels, decreasing others, pretending to act like hormones but in disguise and interfering with hormone signalling, those jerks!

And there's more to the story than that.

These chemicals can induce your cells to die, lower your man's sperm count, lower your IQ, cause birth defects, diabetes, obesity, thyroid problems, early puberty, breast cancer (and other cancers), heart disease and compromise your immune system.

You will find them lurking everywhere unfortunately. From your canned tomato paste to your "spring fresh" deodorant to your beautiful kale. Even if you are focusing on buying the [downloadlink file="http://www.joyoushealth.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/JoyousHealth_ShopClean_2013-download1.pdf"]Dirty Dozen foods organic[/downloadlink] and you follow [mention link=http://www.joyoushealth.com/blog/?cat=26#filterstart title=I have literally hundreds of delicious and nutritious recipes to get you started. ]
