If you're not feeling yourself lately but nothing in your routine has changed that would explain your symptoms, you may want to consider the products you're using.
Toxins are substances that can be created naturally by plants and animals or included in man-made items and everyday products (plastic containers, cookware, makeup, toys, etc.).
Toxins have been linked to causing a handful of illnesses, as well as the partial cause for prostate and breast cancers, genital deformities, diabetes, infertility, and obesity.
According to an article in the New York Times, of the 80,000 or more chemicals in global commerce today, only a tiny share have been rigorously screened for safety.
How do you know if a product you're using is toxic to your health?
Holly Lucille, ND, RN, joins Melanie Cole, MS, to discuss the everyday products that could be causing your body harm.
