I don't watch a whole lot of television and in general I don't care too much about what's on. However, I received an email about a segment that will be on the Dr. Oz show tomorrow and thought that I would pass it along. In my view, anything that sheds public light on these subjects is helpful.
Tomorrow,Tuesday March 23, The Dr. Oz Show is doing a special called “Flushed! How What You’re Flushing is Making America Sick.” The show looks at how what we flush may be making both animals and humans sick. On the show to provide expert insight into the issue are Dr. Gary Ginsberg, a Senior Toxicologist from Connecticut and Dr. Alan Greene, a pediatrician.
According to them, the hormones in the products we flush come back to us in our water can lead to health problems like breast cancer, earlier puberty for girls, small penis size, lower sperm count, and lower testosterone levels.
Dr. Gary Ginsberg will discusses BPA, which is a chemical found in carbonless receipts and in plastic that leeches into our food and water, and according to him 93% of us have BPA in our bodies. Dr. Ginsberg and Dr. Greene will also talk about steps we can take to fix the problem such as taking our unused medications to pharmacy bring back days.
On the final part of the segment, Dr. Oz talks about chemicals in everyday products that should be avoided. You can find our list of chemicals to avoid here.
