"Over time, it became clear that ddt, when stored in body fat, took many years to be eliminated. Nobel Prize Laureate Dr. Otto Warburg warned that a poison like ddt that interfered with cellular respiration causes irreparable harm and produces degenerative diseases such as cancer. DDT was found in food fed to convicts in a federal prison. ddt remained in a plot of ground so easily that after seven years study, 80% of the ddt applied was still present. One of the replacements for ddt chlordane is four times more toxic." - James A. Howenstine, MD, A Physician's Guide To Natural Health Products That Work (Get the book.)

"In Israel, the three organochlorine pesticides banned (lindane, ddt, and BHC, or benzene hexachloride) were contaminating milk and dairy foods. ddt has since been banned in the United States, but it is still used overseas and can be found in many imported meats. ddt is converted in the body into DDE, which remains in the body for decades and has been linked to breast cancer. Examples of other common xenoestrogens are dioxin plastics, chlorinated products, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are derived from gasoline and oil combustion and found in cigarette smoke and charbroiled meats." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"For example, the pesticide ddt was banned about thirty years ago in both the United States and Europe. In a recent study, toxicologist Corinne Charlier of Sart Tilman Hospital in Liege, Belgium, found that women with breast cancer were five times more likely to have ddt residues in their blood.3'4 Like many other petrochemical compounds, ddt mimics the action of estrogen and related hormones. Until recently, a petrochemical called DES was used as an agent to fatten beef cattle prior to slaughter. DES is also known to have estrogenic effects on the body." - James Occhiogrosso, N.

Examples of other common xenoestrogens are dioxin plastics, chlorinated products, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are derived from gasoline and oil combustion and found in cigarette smoke and charbroiled meats. They are literally everywhere—in our plastics, food wraps, water, air, spermicides, nail polish, and vaginal lubricants." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"Immunologists, meanwhile, are trying to ascertain what happens to the immune systems of lab mice when they expose them to organo-chlorine pesticides such as ddt and methoxychlor, the latter having been manufactured as a safer replacement for ddt and now being used widely on food crops, home gardens, and as flea and tick control on pets. They do not like what they see. In a 2005 study, six researchers at the University of Florida College of Medicine in Gainesville set out to discover whether mice exposed to organochlorine pesticides would be more prone to develop autoimmune disease." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"When humans eat fish from that lake, the ddt biomagnifies again! This means that people eating fish contaminated by ddt are actually consuming an exponentially greater amount of the toxic chemical than was originally washed into the lake! Shocking Fact: Some studies estimate 99% of the breastmilk in women residing in the United States contains measurable levels of ddt. One commonly used POP, organochlorine, may also be responsible for contaminating the worlds seafood supply, since pesticides can run off from the land into bodies of water." - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.)

"Nine more chemicals were found in 91 to 98 percent of the samples, including benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, DDE (a breakdown product of ddt, the pesticide banned in the United States since 1972), three dioxins, and one furan. Polychlorinated biphenols (PCBs) were found in 83 percent of the population. Another study based in Michigan found ddt in more than 70 percent of 4-year-olds. All of them were citizens of the United States, and, as mentioned above, ddt has been outlawed since 1972. How were these children exposed to these toxic chemicals? Probably through their mothers' breast milk." - Mark Hyman, Ultra-Metabolism: The Simple Plan for Automatic Weight Loss (Get the book.)

"While a few well-known organochlorine insecticides that are notoriously injurious to animals—DDT, for example—have been banned in the United States, even these persist for decades in the soil in which our fruits and vegetables are grown and in our water, meanwhile accumulating up the food chain (which is why traces of ddt can be found in the steaks Becky has yet to cook for dinner)." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"DDT remained in a plot of ground so easily that after seven years study, 80% of the ddt applied was still present. One of the replacements for ddt chlordane is four times more toxic. A recent study of the insecticide diazinon disclosed that in families with a dog, following lawn treatment the levels of air and carpet diazinon inside the home were 50 times higher than levels outside the home. The levels of pesticide on the dog paws were between 55 and 250 times higher than levels found in the yard. Insecticide chemicals contain carbamates, or organophosphates." - James A. Howenstine, A Physician's Guide to Natural Health Products That Work (Get the book.)

"DDT metabolite pp.-DDE. The use of ddt was banned in the UK more than 20 years ago. ?The most frequently detected chemicals were PCB congeners 99 and 118 and the ddt metabolite pp.-DDE, which were detected in all but one of the 155 volunteers. ?Ten chemicals were found in more than 95 per cent of volunteers 8 www.gordonresearch.com/answers/chlorella_and_cilantro.html 9 The earliest types of chelation involved synthetic agents such as BAL, penicillamin e and EDTA administered intravenously for acute toxic metal poisoning." - Mark Sircus, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (Get the book.)

"Some of the insecticides sprayed on commercial produce, such as ddt, are even banned here in the United States but are sold to countries in Latin America. So if you save a few dollars to buy the commercial melon imported from Mexico instead of the organic one grown here, you may be ingesting toxic ddt that was banned here decades ago! Even among the pesticides legal in the USA, over 20% have been linked to cancer, birth defects, developmental harm and central nervous system damage." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

How were these children exposed to these toxic chemicals? Probably through their mothers' breast milk. But then how did the moms acquire it? With our global economy, we are often eating food that was picked a day or more before in Guatemala, Indonesia, or Asia, where there are not the same restrictions on the use of pesticides as there are in the United States." - Mark Hyman, Ultra-Metabolism: The Simple Plan for Automatic Weight Loss (Get the book.)

"Although it is marketed as "Made from sugar so it tastes like sugar," it is more chemically similar to ddt.3 Aspartame alone has more than ninety-two possible side effects. For more information, see www.sweetpoison.com. By the way, this means you should toss out or donate all of your soda and diet soda, not simply because of the chemical sweeteners they contain but because they are highly acidic drinks that disrupt the acid/alkaline balance in the human body. This disruption, in turn, causes your body to lose bone mass as it leaches calcium from your bones to offset the acid in your diet." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)

"DDT in 1969. (I was the lead expert witness in this litigation, which was initiated by the Environmental Defense Fund against industry and the United States Department of Agriculture.) The U.S. Congress passed the Food Quality Protection Act in 1996, which required the Environmental Protection Agency to start the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program to test chemicals and environmental contaminants for their potential to disrupt the hormonal systems of wildlife and humans." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.)

"In the Mount Sinai study examining what chemicals are found in the average American, every single participant carried detectable levels of pesticides that have been banned, like ddt, as well as a wide range of pesticides in liberal use today. A mixture of twenty-one pesticides was found in the umbilical cord blood of every single newborn baby tested." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"Pesticides that are used only on crops in the southern United States have been found in the tissue ofanimals in thefar north of Canada. ddt, a cancer-causing insecticide that has been bannedfor decades, is still regularly found in the fatty tissue of animals, birds, andfish, even in extremely remote regions such as the North Pole. 279 Toxins that are stored in the body can eventually overwhelm the liver. The result of this toxic overload is inflammation, which leads to chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinsonism, and autoimmune diseases." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Lindane acts on lice by stimulating their central nervous system similar to ddt. Those with lesions on their head can develop central-nervous-system toxicity if they apply the lotion on the head. This is an obvious concern for the many children who are applying this lotion on top of their head for the elimination of head lice, which they may have to do twice. Side effects include dizziness, headache, tingling, and seizures. There have been three confirmed Lindane-related deaths. Lindane is contraindicated in children with uncontrolled seizure disorders and alcoholics." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"A 1989 study showed that 13 percent of the carcinogenic preservative butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and 50 percent of the carcinogenic pesticide ddt (a common contaminant of commercial grade lanolin derived from sheep's wool), are absorbed through skin very rapidly (2,4). And evidence cited at 1978 Congressional hearings demonstrated that the carcinogenicity of NDELA is over 100 times greater following absorption through the skin, rather than by mouth ." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.)

"It often takes decades of damage before a "miracle plant food" like ddt finally gets phased out. Beaurocracy is indolent by nature; the chemical lobby does its utmost to slow things down even more; and conventional farmers just want to fight off pests as long as they can. Azinphos-methyl (AZM) has been sprayed on apples, blueberries, cherries and pears since the 1950s. "This pesticide has put thousands of workers at risk of serious illness every year," says Erik Nicholson of the United Farmworkers of America." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"The book revealed that the powerful pesticide ddt was not just killing insects, but irrevocably harming birds and wildlife and contaminating the entire world food supply. The chemical industry viciously attacked Carson, but her book held up to scientific scrutiny and led to the eventual ban of ddt in the US. A decade later, the human consequences of the chemical problem were broadcast to the world from the town of Love Canal, New York. Lois Gibbs was living the typical American dream, except that her kids were sick." - Stacy Malkan, Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry (Get the book.)

"For example, Victoria Boutenko writes that after being raw for a significant length of time, she finally eliminated residues of the ddt her father had sprayed around their home when she was only three. Some people report that their stools smelled like the very food from which they were detoxifying. Suddenly, in the bathroom, they smelled food or drugs ingested previously, even decades before." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "So if you save a few dollars to buy the commercial melon imported from Mexico instead of the organic one grown here, you may be ingesting toxic ddt that was banned here decades ago! Even among the pesticides legal in the USA, over 20% have been linked to cancer, birth defects, developmental harm and central nervous system damage. Toxic limits are set for adults, not children, which means infants and children are getting 2-10 times of the alleged "safe" limits, sometimes more. Before the widespread use of these poisons, high rates of cancer in children were unheard of." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"In 1973, a study conducted by the Department of Occupational Health at Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School in Jerusalem found a significantly higher concentration of such toxic compounds as ddt and PCB's in cancerous breast tissue of women compared with the normal breast and adjacent adipose tissue in the same women. (although on scanning images they show up as dark masses or shadows). While doing their precious job, fungi produce compounds with biological activity." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"A1989 study showed that 13 percent of the carcinogenic preservative butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and 50 percent of the carcinogenic pesticide ddt are absorbed through human skin quite rapidly (1). What We Know and How We Know It So we know products applied to the skin can be, and are, absorbed. What kind of evidence de we have on the carcinogenicity of ingredients in cosmetics and personal care products, and just how reliable is this evidence? The data we use in this book has been compiled from numerous sources." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . .
