5 Simple Practices to Avoid Parabens and other Metalloestrogens
SMILE: cosmetic toxicity hasn’t killed me yet…
Parabens: The Common Deadly Cosmetic Ingredient Found in 99% of Breast Tumors
There are many synthetic compounds and heavy metals that mimic estrogen. These are referred to as “estrogenic” and unfortunately a handful of these paraben esters have been proven to be extremely dangerous. They seem to be readily available and everywhere…what can we do about it?
Parabens are simply dangerous. They have a chemical structure that is very similar to estrogen and can mimic the effects of it in the body. Cadmium, another estrogenic compound is an extremely toxic heavy metal, is used as a pigment in many cosmetic products. Women with elevated levels of cadmium have a 21% higher likelihood of having breast cancer than the rest of the population. Cadmium, as well as other estrogen-mimicking heavy metals, are referred to as “metalloestrogens.” These dangerous compounds are alarmingly common in processed foods. Agrichemicals (herbicides and pesticides) consistently contain metalloestrogens. The cosmetic industry and environment are swimming in metalloestrogens, so what can we do? There are 5 simple practices we can implement into our lives to avoid them.
What Can We Do About Parabens and other Metalloestrogens?
Parabens and metalloestrogens seem to be everywhere we turn, in our food and in the air we breathe. We owe it to ourselves to avoid this injustice. Here are 5 simple practices we can undertake to avoid these dangers.
Read manufacturer labels and avoid the use of products that contain parabens and other metalloestrogens.
Fortunately, manufacturer labels still somewhat tell us the truth about what is contained in our products. We may need to investigate funny names to figure it out but it’s all spelled out there for us. It’s just when the FDA allows names that sound healthy or a name that represents 10 different ingredients that we must be investigators. There is much support on the internet, so research.
Do as much research about these products and companies you purchase from.
Research and read reviews before you purchase products. The internet is available to almost everyone and contains a plethora of good information.

Eat local organic food
Local stands and markets are great supporters of local, organic fruits and vegetables in any given community. Small farmers usually don’t use the same farming practices as corporate farmers like names you would recognize at the grocer. Take advantage of local choices for your health. You’ll be supporting your community and neighborhood farmers.
Avoid highly industrialized areas where the air is polluted with heavy metals.
We’re not in the Garden of Eden anymore… so be sure to not spend much time in highly polluted and large industrial areas. This also means a job. We all have to work but if our work causes us to get sick, is it really worth it. Rethink life and don’t make decisions based on money.
