Have you heard of Obesogens?

Obesogen is a word invented by Bruce Blumberg, PhD of the University of California, Irvine.  They are chemical compounds in the environment that can disrupt our body's metabolic process.
Obesogens can reprogram how your cells work.
They can encourage your body to store fat and re-program cells to become fat cells. 
They can cause your liver to become insulin resistant so that the pancreas releases more insulin, which in turn, turns energy into fat.  They can increase your hunger and cravings.
If that news wasn't bad enough, there's more.
Obesogens accumulate over time and are found everywhere - in our air, water, food, and environment.
The good news is that with nutritional cleansing, careful shopping and a watchful eye to our products and environment, we can reduce our exposure to these chemicals that are making us fat and unhealthy.
We are giving up our health for all the conveniences.  We need to get back to basics and limit or stop using so many chemicals!
