These 'Fresh Scents' Are Feminizing Your Family with Fake Estrogen

But Every Day We Willingly Bring It Into Our Homes

If I mention air pollution, you probably picture smoke-belching chimney stacks or maybe an exhaust pipe spewing toxic fumes along the highway.

You probably don’t think about the synthetic fragrances that make your home, laundry, dishes, and floors smell like lavender, lemon, pumpkin spice, and pine.

But lurking beneath those fresh smells is a staggering number of serious health risks.

The truth is the chemicals used in these synthetic fragrances can turn your home into an environment that is far more toxic than the most congested city.

Multiple research studies reveal that many chemicals used to make synthetic fragrances are known hormone disrupters, neurotoxins, and carcinogens.

They have also been linked to diabetes, heart disease, stroke, liver, and dementia.^1,2,3,4

And according to a new study from Purdue University, these scented products are worse for your health than vehicle exhaust emissions.⁵

Perhaps the biggest outrage is that these dangers are hidden from you...denying you the right to make informed choices.

The Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (FPLA), which is intended to make sure consumers are informed about their purchases, is little more than a sham.

A new study found that the fragrances we willingly bring into our homes are more toxic than the air pollution caused by automobile emissions.

You see, while the FDA requires companies to list all product ingredients, manufacturers exploit a loophole.

Thanks to this loophole, companies don’t have to disclose “trade secrets,” which means they can legally get away with listing product ingredients as “fragrance” or “flavor.”⁶

In other words, manufacturers of synthetic household fragrances are free to sell you dangerous toxins — which they do — and they don’t even have to tell you.

It’s not surprising that one in three Americans suffer from allergies, asthma, sinusitis, or bronchitis. The World Health Organization calculates that worldwide, 4.3 million people die from exposure to household air pollution.

Make no mistake about it, synthetic fragrances are poisonous. And there are more than 3,000 chemical ingredients in fragrance products that can make you sick.⁷

It’s a smelly secret manufacturers keep hidden from the public. And it’s perfectly legal.

While the FDA has the authority to regulate harmful ingredients in most products, there’s a major loophole in the law when it comes to fragrance.

You see, fragrances were once made from botanicals like flowers and herbs.

But natural ingredients are expensive. The fragrance industry realized it was much cheaper to develop synthetic chemical combinations that mimic real scents.

But manufacturers don’t want you to know what’s in their products. So they came up with ways to keep what they put in their products a secret... and get around an existing law.

In 1967, lawmakers passed the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act. This required companies to list ingredients on their labels.

But in 1973, the government agreed to make an exception for fragrance companies. It allowed these manufacturers to classify their chemical ingredients as “trade secrets.”

This kept them off the FDA’s radar.

In a groundbreaking study, the National Academy of Sciences reported that 95% of chemicals used in synthetic fragrances are made in a lab using an array of petrochemicals, such as benzene derivatives, aldehydes, and other toxic chemicals.⁸

For decades now I’ve been sounding the alarm about the estrogen-mimicking chemicals in our environment wreaking havoc on your health.

Even as recently as your grandmother’s time, there were far fewer of these culprits. But today, our world is saturated with offenders such as PCBs, bisphenol A (BPA), dioxins, phthalates, and flame retardants... just to name just a few.

And they appear in every aspect of our lives.

Some of them are pesticides, some are industrial chemicals, and others are used to soften or harden plastics.

You’ll find them in cosmetics, perfume, cash- register receipts, deodorant, hair spray, air fresheners, nail polish, insect repellent, carpet, vinyl flooring, shower curtains, anti-perspirants, plastic bottles, and the dashboard of your car. The list goes on and on.

In our modern world, we can’t escape them.

U.S. industry alone produces over 6 billion pounds of them annually. They’re omnipresent and have even been detected in Antarctic sea ice.12 CDC blood tests show they’re present in over 95% of the population.13 And the Endocrine Society states “they can be detected as part of the body burden of virtually every tested individual animal or human.”¹⁴

And while this sounds like bad news that can’t be countered, I’m here to tell you that there are ways you can combat these aliens and reverse their effects. More on this in a moment.

You’d think with all the disruption they can have on your health, that I wouldn’t be the ONLY one talking about this.

You won’t hear the media shouting about it, nor will you mainstream physicians warn you of the dangers.

But I’ve been warning about this for decades. In an article I published almost 20 years ago, I warned, “Most doctors don’t even realize excess estrogen is the ‘hidden’ cause of the health problems a lot of men and women face every day.”

That’s as true today as when I first wrote it.

But the situation’s gotten even worse as years have passed.
