Synthetic Chemicals Make You Fat By Ollie Martin April 08 Up to 60% of what we bathe in or put on our skin is ingested into our bodies. As a nation we are getting fatter despite the increasing number of diets attempted? Could it be that the chemicals in our food, skin care and detergents make us fat? Our own natural weight control system is being poisoned by the toxic chemicals that we encounter in our everyday lives. This damage makes it increasing difficult for our bodies to control weight, so we end up getting fatter even if eat less food. Toxic synthetic chemicals are highly fat soluble and when exposed to them the body creates fat to safely store those toxins it cannot process and eliminate safely. When dieting the body will not give up this fat easily because it will have to release the toxins back in the body, it prefers to lose muscle/lean weight instead. Carbamates, a group of insecticides and herbicides used in the growing of food, cosmetic and medicinal ingredients are also used as growth promoter in battery-farm situations because they slow down metabolic rate. So the same synthetic chemicals used on our fruit and vegetables are used to fatten our livestock! Caramates are also used in medicine to promote weight gain in humans. Toxic chemicals, even when present in very small amounts, directly damage muscles and disrupt the hormones that control their growth. Toxins also affect the bodies own natural ‘slimming’ systems such a Catecholamine hormones.

“The amount of synthetic chemicals manufactured in the United States has increased dramatically over the past half-century. In the U.S., over 75,000 industrial chemicals are on the market. Unfortunately, regulators have very little information to determine the danger posed by these chemicals. Tens of thousands of industrial chemicals on the market have not been tested for developmental health effects at low doses. No public health information exists for close to half of the high production-volume chemicals. The newly-discovered connections between chemicals and disease outlined here just begin to scratch the surface of the potential impact of chemicals on public health.” Extract from Growing Up Toxic – Chemical Exposures and Increases in Developmental Disease, Environment California Research and Policy Centre, June 2004 At Take Shape we recommend to you only use products that are organic and natural including food, drinks, skincare, haircare etc. We have teamed up with MiEssence to offer online organic and natural products for skincare, hair and cosmetics.
