Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDC)

What you don't know CAN HURT you and your offspring

Big words with very bad consequences.  Have you ever head of them? Let's try one out: "Xenoestrogen like substances".  Ever heard of it?  By the time you finish reading what I hope might be a short essay on a very deep dark eugenic driven human genetic altering topic you may take pause.  


Have you ever wondered why so many young males seem so effeminine today? If this thought never crossed your mind you are not watching primetime TV and you may not find anything about this article interesting and alarming.  But if you are old enough to see these changes and many others linked to EDC poisoning, well, keep reading. 
Wikipedia really does an outstanding job in summarizing these daily ingested and human altering hormone altering chemicals.  These chemicals are prevalent in the farming industry with over use in the fertilizer, pesticide and fungicide business that on the outward appearance seems good, but the dark secrets are that they are killing humanity rather than making it possible to grow more corn, wheat, soybeans and other grains. 
For example:  When I was growing up on a farm in the Midwest my father used a chemical pesticide called Atrazine. 
The farmers all loved it.  Listen by the 1970's farmers I now know had unknowingly or through cognitive dissonance willfully ignored that they were poisoning humanity and cattle/hogs/chickens through their wide spread use of chemicals like Atrazine.  Atrazine (a major EDC)  is still used widely today and your farm and feed ag businesses recommend it's use.  I have very good link at the end of this article if you are interested in this very bad agricultural endocrine disrupting chemical.  I digress.


Back to the topic: EDC use is in no way limited to Big Agriculture, no way.  These bad chemicals are everywhere.  Why do you need to know any of this? Why? Because BigPharma and Big Chemical/Agriculture/Food manufacturing does not want you to know about one of the largest more harmful chemical groups there is.  Why?  Because if you did you may revolt and reject foods laced with these things and they would lose MONEY!!  Follow the money and you will find the problems. 


Wikipedia says the EDC's can and do cause: (I am going to stay with conditions that hit home)
*Learning Disabilities*  *Attention Deficit Disorder* *Cognitive/Brain development disorders* *Breast and thyroid Cancers* *Prostate Cancer* *sexual development disorders such as feminizing of males & Masculinizing of females* *Obesity* 
So I have to slow down, that is not all on the list but it's enough for anyone to stop and gasp as they think, My God, look at the children in schools, the schools are full of children with learning disabilities and attention deficit disorders as well as cognitive/brain development disorders. 
Then you pause and think to yourself, look at all the breast cancer and thyroid cancers.  Look at all the FUN runs to raise money for breast cancer research when in fact the drug companies have known for decades the causes linked to the cancers and have suppressed the good science/studies and promoted through fake news the bad science paid for by Big Pharma. 
One such covered up genius researchers from Berkeley was Dr. Tyrone B. Hayes, PhD.  his site is Atrazinelovers.com.  Now if you are like me you read the research that gets put down because it's not going with the flow of big pharma/big chemical companies.  This man has gone through the gauntlet for his research.  His focus:  EDC's in Atrazine in big ag farming. 
Wikipedia goes on to say, Found in many household and industrial products, endocrine disruptors are substances that "interfere with the synthesis, secretion, transport, binding, action, or elimination of natural hormones in the body that are responsible for development, behavior, fertility, and maintenance of homeostasis (normal cell metabolism)
Now if you look at the fact the EDC's can interrupt/interfere and alter normal Synthesis of cell metabolism, normal secretion of cells, transport of nutrients and toxins, the binding of things in cell metabolism and division, alter actions of cellular behavior, affect elimination of natural hormones...critical to development, behavior, fertility, and normal body metabolism, you would think these chemicals would be high on the list of researched before use. NOPE!   JUST THE OPPOSITE. 


Now listen, I again quote from Wikipedia:  "Endocrine disrupting compounds encompass a variety of chemical classes, including drugs, pesticides, compounds used in the plastics industry and in consumer products, industrial by-products and pollutants, and even some naturally produced botanical chemicals."
There's more, I quote:  Some are pervasive and widely dispersed in the environment and may bio-accumulate. Some are persistent organic pollutants (POP's), and can be transported long distances across national boundaries and have been found in virtually all regions of the world, and may even concentrate near the North Pole, due to weather patterns and cold conditions


Are you getting this?  They are pervasive (widespread in use), widely used or dispersed in the environment and may bio-accumulate (build up in animals and humans in concentration).  The weather even carries these around the globe.  So they can be airborne or through water pathways, ground water, aquifers, rain.   
So I stated some of the BIG present day issues.  Let me quote another Wikipedia statement.  Health effects attributed to endocrine disrupting compounds include a range of reproductive problems (reduced fertility, male and female reproductive tract abnormalities, and skewed male/female sex ratios, loss of fetus, menstrual problems^[20]); changes in hormone levels; early puberty; brain and behavior problems; impaired immune functions; and various cancers. 
So what are these EDC's?  Chemicals in the plastics wrapping just about all the foods.  Heard of estrogen like substances?  Yeh, the ones that mimic estrogen, these leach into your food and bottled water from plastics.  Do you think that is going to change anytime soon?  Do you remember when glass bottles were prevalent?  Why aren't they today?  Ask yourself....
Let's not forget big Pharma and medicine.  I quote again from Wikipedia:   Certain cancers and uterine abnormalities in women are associated with exposure to Diethylstilbestrol (DES) in the womb due to DES used as a medical treatment. Some in the scientific community are concerned that exposure to endocrine disruptors in the womb or early in life may be associated with neurodevelopmental disorders including reduced IQ, ADHD, and autism.  Seriously, what kind of sick world is this? 
In order to get this out on my blog I am going to stop for now.
I look forward to people adding to this initial work on my part.  Feel free to put your opinions in but use good judgment and discernment. 
Just researching the following links at just one or two sites will really expand your knowledge and seriously make you question the times that we live in.  Will humanity survive?  How? 
Part 2 is likely in order.
