This isn't fear-mongering. It's documented reality.
168 chemicals applied before breakfast. A credit card of plastic consumed weekly. 35x the safe limit of VOCs in a new car.
The bathroom cabinet.
Ground zero for cellular disruption.
chemicals applied daily by the average woman
cancer-linked chemicals legally included in 73,000+ cosmetic products
of Americans have detectable oxybenzone from sunscreen in blood
SLS from shampoo remains detectable in brain, heart, and liver
Lead in lipstick crosses the blood-brain barrier. Mercury in mascara at 100x average levels. Talc-based makeup frequently contains asbestos fibers.
The home.
Indoor air measures 2-5x more polluted than outdoor air.
Scented products generate particle pollution comparable to diesel engines
Flame retardants migrate from furniture into dust at 10-100x higher concentrations in Americans than Europeans
Formaldehyde from pressed wood takes two full years to off-gas
New car smell: benzene, formaldehyde, styrene at 35x health limits

Consumer Reports found phthalates in nearly all 85 foods tested.

NSAIDs
Uncouple mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. 40-90% of users show intestinal damage.
Acetaminophen
Depletes glutathione by up to 50% with chronic use. The primary antioxidant defense.
Statins
Block CoQ10 production by up to 54%. Starving the mitochondria that power the heart.
Antibiotics
Attack mitochondria - they evolved from bacteria. Tetracyclines disrupt mitochondrial protein synthesis.
Our devices.
EMFs activate voltage-gated calcium channels 7 million times more easily than natural forces
Smart meters expose occupants to more intense microwave radiation than cell phones
Blue light suppresses melatonin for twice as long as other wavelengths
Cell tower proximity correlates with elevated cancer mortality within 500 meters
The cumulative effect.
The average person carries 200+ synthetic chemicals.
Newborns enter the world pre-polluted. Umbilical cord blood contains 287 industrial compounds. 180 carcinogens. 217 neurotoxins.
5% of chemical combinations show synergistic effects - interactions 100-fold stronger than individual exposures
These exposures alter gene expression for three or more generations
Multiple chemical sensitivity develops in 5-20% of the population
Modern life has become an uncontrolled experiment.
Current safety regulations test single chemicals in isolation. Completely ignoring simultaneous exposure to hundreds of compounds that interact in complex ways.
Even those attempting to live "cleanly" face unavoidable exposures through air, water, food, and the built environment.
