"We are living in an increasingly toxic world. People are being exposed to toxic substances like it is nobody's business. Babies are born with high levels of mercury, BPA etc in their blood stream. It is extremely worrying because a lot of the sources of toxics are directly linked with our lifestyle. A lot of these then go on to cause diseases like cancer, some are powerful enough to cause gene mutations that result in birth defects, other disturb ecological balance by causing reproductive problems in animals and plants. There are some sources where you can easily avoid contact with toxic chemicals and others are more difficult, let's focus on what can be done for now."
