Xenoestrogens are Everywhere!

So I've been doing a little research on fibroids (what else am I going to do with all this couch time) and in doing so I landed on a great website that provides a lot of information on fibroids and what causes them. A woman named Shola Oslo, a kinesiologist who works with women with a variety of conditions such as fibroids, endometriosis, PCOS and infertility created it.

She provides a lot of information and informative videos on different types of fibroids. I watched two videos on what causes them. SCARY! Most doctors agree that fibroids are estrogen-fed. She and many other researchers are now investigating the increasing role that xenoestrogens play in this. Xenoestrogens are synthetic compounds that mimic estrogens in the body. They are found in everything from plastic wrap to non-organic meat. Evidence suggests that making life changes that decrease the amount of xenoestrogen intake can halt fibroid growth. So...time to make some lifestyle changes--I'm convinced!
