"A group of chemicals found in household plastics and medical supplies is linked to higher rates of diabetes in women – up to double the rate for women with the highest levels, according to new research led by Harvard scientists. Blacks and Mexican Americans and women living in poverty are exposed to the highest levels of some of these compounds, called phthalates. "It's extremely likely that phthalates and other chemical contaminants will turn out to be a big part of the obesity and diabetes epidemic, but at this point we really don't know how these chemicals are interacting with each other, or with the human body," said Richard Stahlhut, a University of Rochester scientist who co-authored the study."
The trouble with clean
[COMMENT: 'benign-ish'???? I think the real trouble is that most people are unaware that 'clean' is simple dirt removal which is easily accomplished by a wet rag. The scents and strong chemicals are generally not necessary to achieve 'clean' and lack of scents and chemicals does not mean something isn't clean.]

"Washing our hair, wearing deodorant, spraying perfume and doing the laundry are everyday routines, but ones that could be exposing us to harmful chemicals.
Many shampoos, hair products, soaps, moisturisers, deodorants, perfumes, makeup, detergents and cleaning agents contain allergy-inducing and even hormone-altering, toxic chemicals.
While many people are diligent about reading product labels, few know what to really look for, a recent Colmar Brunton market research survey found."

Unintended Hazards of Geoengineering

By Amy Norton
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A sizable percentage of low-income patients in primary care may be particularly sensitive to chemicals in household cleaners, perfumes and other everyday products, a small study suggests.
The study, done at two Texas family medicine practices, screened patients for symptoms of "chemical intolerance," also known as multiple chemical sensitivity.
It's a controversial diagnosis, and there's no agreement on the cause - or that it even should be considered a disorder unto itself.
But there is a standard screening questionnaire that's been used in studies and in some doctors' practices. It asks people about whether they feel sick when they're around various smells and chemicals -- like gasoline, paint, perfumes, cleaning products or insecticides -- and how bad the symptoms are.
Using that questionnaire, researchers found that 20 percent of 400 patients they screened met the criteria for chemical intolerance.
Most studies on chemical intolerance have focused on higher-income, white people. But patients in this study were largely lower-income and Hispanic.
So the findings give an idea of the prevalence of such symptoms in an understudied group, according to lead researcher Dr. David A. Katerndahl, of the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.
He said lower-income Americans may, in theory, be more likely to have chemical intolerance since they more often have jobs that would routinely expose them to chemicals.
In an interview, Katerndahl acknowledged that chemical intolerance, as a diagnosis in and of itself, is controversial.
"Some doctors will never believe it exists," he said. But there has been growing acceptance of it among primary care doctors, he added.
And these new findings, Katerndahl said, help confirm what a lot of doctors have suspected: that chemical intolerance often goes hand-in-hand with mental health disorders.
Of 81 patients with chemical intolerance, 85 percent reported having symptoms of major depression in the past month. Another 78 percent had symptoms of an anxiety disorder. That compared with 33 percent and 21 percent, respectively, among patients free of chemical intolerance.
But that doesn't necessarily mean the mental health problems caused the chemical sensitivities, according to Katerndahl.
"We don't know why this association exists," he said. It's possible, for example, that some people have an underlying vulnerability to both mental health disorders and chemical sensitivities.
Or, Katerndahl said, some people might become depressed or anxious because of their chemical intolerance symptoms - which can include headaches, dizziness, upset stomach or breathing problems.
Of the 81 study patients who screened positive for chemical intolerance, one-quarter had previously been diagnosed with it, Katerndahl's team found.
That suggests the problem "often goes unrecognized," the researchers report in the Annals of Family Medicine.
According to Katerndahl, doctors might want to screen for chemical sensitivities in certain situations, such as when patients complain they can't seem to tolerate a range of medications.
"If you can figure out if you're sensitive to certain chemicals," Katerndahl said, "then you can try to engineer your life to avoid them."
And if you think you're overly sensitive to certain chemicals and your regular doctor cannot help, he added, you might want to get a referral to an allergist.

Abstract
Environmental contamination has exposed humans to various metal agents, including mercury. This exposure is more common than expected, and the health consequences of such exposure remain unclear. For many years, mercury was used in a wide variety of human activities, and now, exposure to this metal from both natural and artificial sources is significantly increasing. Many studies show that high exposure to mercury induces changes in the central nervous system, potentially resulting in irritability, fatigue, behavioral changes, tremors, headaches, hearing and cognitive loss, dysarthria, incoordination, hallucinations, and death. In the cardiovascular system, mercury induces hypertension in humans and animals that has wide-ranging consequences, including alterations in endothelial function. The results described in this paper indicate that mercury exposure, even at low doses, affects endothelial and cardiovascular function. As a result, the reference values defining the limits for the absence of danger should be reduced.
