О токсинах вокруг 🤢 - Канал доктора Моро

Have you ever considered how many chemicals you encounter every day—in the air, food, clothing, dishes, cosmetics, etc.? In short, there are a lot, but not everyone understands what they are and how they affect humans. I'll describe the main groups of chemicals and give examples of the harm they can cause.

Bisphenols and phthalates. These substances are harmful and they're everywhere. From clothing to plastic bottles and nail polish.
So what, you ask? The fact is, when these molecules enter the body, they accumulate in fatty tissue. Furthermore, their structure resembles female hormones. Numerous studies have suggested various pathologies caused by these toxins. Bisphenol A
is particularly notable , having been linked to developmental disorders of the reproductive organs, brain (some believe transgender people are "consequences" of bisphenol A), acne , depression, cancer, and more. Container manufacturers have jumped on the bandwagon and started producing less harmful bisphenols, such as bisphenol S , but it, as it turns out, is also toxic. Furthermore, the fact that bisphenols penetrate the body transdermally, i.e., through the skin, is concerning. So, if a person wears cheap synthetic clothing (for example, Chinese), they receive nanodoses of this substance every day. Sweeteners. I've long said that what's unnatural is most likely harmful . The same can be said about sweeteners; these substances trick the taste buds. Just recently, the WHO declared aspartame a carcinogen. It's one of the most common sweeteners in the world, found in Coke Zero, which hipsters drink, thinking sugar is evil . Aspartame has been linked to cancer, headaches, and neurotoxicity. There are other similar substances that have yet to be studied. Fructose deserves special mention. It's not a sweetener, but an isomer of glucose, but I see a shelf full of fructose-containing sweets in any store. I think a lot of people buy this crap and also think that sugar is evil, while fructose is a glorious sweet substance. The fact is that fructose causes fatty liver disease. In laboratory conditions, it is used to create this pathology in rats. Never use fructose in your diet as an additive or sugar substitute. Medications. I've already written about nimesil and paracetamol . These medications are very popular in the former Soviet Union for pain of various origins. However, not everyone knows that they are toxic to the liver, which is clearly stated in the instructions for nimesil, while no one reads the instructions for paracetamol. For example, taking paracetamol with alcohol almost always causes reversible (or not ) liver damage within 1-3 days.

Nimesil is even worse; it can "kill" your liver even without alcohol. If you don't believe me, just open the instructions. And yes, I've heard a lot of talk along the lines of "I drank it and it's great," but who among you actually gets a liver biochemistry test after taking it?

Aflatoxins. These toxins are produced by fungi of the genus Aspergillus. What's so dangerous about them? They are highly toxic even in trace amounts. They cause severe liver damage, leading to liver cancer. According to 2010 data, approximately 25,200-155,000 cases of hepatoma (liver cancer) may be linked to aflatoxin exposure. Aspergillus thrives on pistachios and other nuts. They are also found in tea and other foods. These fungi and their toxins are a major problem in African countries, as well as other countries with hot and humid climates. Therefore, be cautious about products from such countries, especially when it comes to nuts and seeds.

Dioxins. A group of substances that can be described as "highly toxic crap." To understand the seriousness of these substances, it's worth recalling the face of former Ukrainian President Yushchenko, whom the vile KGB poisoned with 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD) , a polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin.
The poisoners' choice of this substance could have been an "evil reference" to the Americans, their Vietnam War, and Agent Orange (Google it, if you're interested ). Incidentally, a scientific publication was even written about this poisoning . The link is below.
Dioxins also pose a significant danger to the general public. This crap causes acne, cancer, and who knows what else. It can be airborne. Therefore, it is very important NOT to live near factories (pulp and paper industry) or heavily trafficked roads!

The photo below is a bit creepy about the consequences of the Vietnam War. These are disabled children with mutations acquired in the womb of their mothers, who in turn had contact with TCDD (as part of Agent Orange)
