Number 4 of 12 Eating Principles
Plastic emits chemical compounds that mask estrogen in the body. This contributes to early onset of puberty in girls and sterility in boys, breast cancer and other estrogen related cancers.
Examples of this would be to buy carrots with tops still on rather than carrots in plastic bags, or to prepare food micro-waved in glass rather than in plastic. Plastic emits chemical compounds that mask estrogen in the body. Many studies blame the amount of plastic in our environment for early onset of puberty in girls and sterility in boys.
- Buy carrots with tops still on,
- Food micro-waved in glass rather than in plastic, and
- Store food in hard plastic, not soft and avoid all kinds of cling wrap as much as possible.
