Common Chemicals to Avoid During Pregnancy
From your deodorant to your nice new furniture in your newly painted home, so many things we do during pregnancy are actually harmful to our babies. Here is just a quick look at some common culprits.
Toxic Chemicals to Avoid During Pregnancy
Pesticides: Only buy organic. The “clean 15” do not even make sense, because pesticides enter the water cell of the plant, and cannot be washed off. They cannot be removed from our water source once entered. They kill our microbiome bugs, (while meaning to kill much larger critters), and these are the main expressors of our health, and associated with the problems we know the least to do with: alzheimers, autism, cancers, etc.
Anything plastic. They mess with sex hormones, and are the culprit behind animals with genital defects. Literally messing with our species. Little boys with more exposure to plastics are born with smaller penises, and all measures of sperm count/speed/activity were severely depleted. Especially avoid any plastics that are heated.
Flame retardants
Aluminum. in your deodorant.
This is just a start.
