Campbell’s will be phasing out BPA in their cans
We’ve known from research that BPA (bisphenol A) increases estrogens in the body and now Campbell’s is choosing to phase out the use of BPA in their cans. It’s a start and hopefully other companies will follow suit.
Read more details on this Forbes article regarding the FDA’s decision to reevaluate the use of BPA in packaging.
Estrogen Dominance-What You Need To Know
Do you have symptoms of estrogen dominance?
Estrogen is a naturally occurring hormone in the human body. It is essential to both women and men and is natural as a reproductive hormone. Estrogen’s primary role is the development of female characteristics. However, many of us have estrogen dominance symptoms to be aware of.
Estrogen is also an important hormone in women of child bearing age. It maintains bone strength and plays a role in cell activity, signaling cells to divide and multiply.
However in today’s incredibly toxic world, our bodies are assaulted every day by environmental toxins.
What are the symptoms of estrogen dominance?
Symptoms of estrogen dominance are:
Brain Cancer Risk Factors-Important Alert to Parents
Approximately 13,000 Americans died of brain cancer in 2009 and 22,000 more cases were reported.
People younger than 20 years old were found to have a higher chance of developing leukemia and brain tumors in this country.
In addition to genetic factors, brain tumor development may be influenced by the following:
- Dental x-rays. This is the most dangerous factor contributing to brain tumor development. Dental x-rays should be minimized or avoided when possible, especially in young children.
- Air Pollution. In studies, mice exposed to poor quality air showed mutations or changes in brain nerves in 3 months.

Important Alert to Parents
Approximately 13,000 Americans died of brain cancer in 2009 and 22,000 more cases were reported.
People younger than 20 years old were found to have a higher chance of developing leukemia and brain tumors in this country.
In addition to genetic factors, brain tumor development may be influenced by the following:
- Dental x-rays. This is the most dangerous factor contributing to brain tumor development. Dental x-rays should be minimized or avoided when possible, especially in young children.
- Air Pollution. In studies, mice exposed to poor quality air showed mutations or changes in brain nerves in 3 months.
- Electromagnetic waves. Although not yet proven, cell phones may contribute to brain cancer risk. According to one study, using a cell phone for one hour daily can increase brain cancer rate by 2.5 times. Children’s risk is even greater because their skulls are thinner than adults. Children living within one/half mile of a highway or close to high voltage power lines have higher leukemia and brain cancer risk.
- HotDogs. Eating hotdogs can increase brain cancer risk, especially in children. HotDogs contain nitrites/nitrates as preservatives, which , when cooked, combine with amines naturally present in meat to form carcinogenic N-nitroso compounds. One 7 year long study evaluated children from birth to age 10. Those who ate more than 12 hotdogs per month have a 9 times higher risk of developing leukemia. A strong risk of leukemia also existed for those whose father ate more than 12 hotdogs per month. (Cancer Causes & Control 5: 195-202, 1994.) Another study found that children born to women who consumed hotdogs one or more times per week during pregnancy had double the risk of developing brain tumors. Children who ate hotdogs one or more times per week also had a higher risk for brain cancer. (Cancer Causes & Control 5:141-8, 1994).
- Microwaving Plastics. Many of us know that microwaving plastics is unhealthy, but may do it anyway.. The chemicals found in plastic leach into the food when it is heated. These chemicals are associated with liver cancer risk. Among pregnant women, this can increase brain cancer risk.
Many of our readers and subscribers already know the dangers of nitrites/nitrates in hotdogs and also microwaving our foods in plastic, but this information, condensed from an article by Dr. Chi, drives home the point of the possible future effects of these toxins on our children and grandchildren.

Does your child or the child of someone you know and love display hyperactivity symptoms? Do they have trouble staying focused? Have they been diagnosed or has it been suggested that it may be ADHD? Whatever your reason for reading this article, buckle your seatbelt and get ready to unhook from the mainstream ideas about ADHD and these gifted children.
Did you know that an estimated 5-10% of children ages 6-17 have been “diagnosed” with ADHD. It is also estimated that 2.5 million or more children are on drugs to manage the symptoms of ADHD. Why are the numbers so high and constantly increasing? Why do so many children have a brain that is different and labeled as ADHD? Have you ever asked these questions?
