Hidden
deep within all those words you can’t pronounce on the ingredients label of
your shampoo bottle is a host of chemicals known as “xenoestrogens”.
These are synthetic forms of the female hormone estrogen but, unlike natural
estrogen, these chemical-based “mutant estrogens” are very difficult for your
body to dispose of. Instead, they’re trapped away in your fat cells and
disrupt the natural balance of male hormones and female as well.
The results can be
symptoms like increased body fat (especially in the chest area, commonly known as gynocomastia or
“man
boobs”), lower sex drive, loss of muscle tissue, and even sexual problems like erectile dysfunction (E.D.).
So what can you do
about it?
Avoid These Ingredients
Pull out your shampoo
bottle and/or soap and look for these common testosterone-destroying or estrogen
enhanced ingredients
Parabens – Parabens are in 90% of all personal care products and are
used as a preservative to increase the shelf life of shampoos and
conditioners. Studies have shown a direct link between paraben exposure
and low-testosterone (and even breast cancer). Get rid of any shampoo with an
ingredient that ends in “–paraben” (such as methylparaben,butylparaben, and so on).
Sulfates – You’ll find that most shampoos contain an ingredient such
as “Sodium Lauryl Sulfate” and “Sodium Laureth Sulfate”. These are responsible for that thick lather of foam
you’re programmed to believe is responsible for cleaning your hair.
They’re also the same ingredient used in car engine degreasers and car-wash
soap foams. But on your head, these sulfates quickly enter your bloodstream
and have been linked to everything from excessive estrogen load to malformation
of the eyes in children. Chuck them in the trash!
Propylene Glycol and Polyethylene Glycol – These common “organic” alcohols are used in
everything from antifreeze to oven cleaners… and as a fragrance stabilizer for
shampoos and lotions. Unfortunately, they tend to break down the
structure of your cells to allow rapid absorption of the other xenoestrogens in
your shampoo for a shotgun blast of female hormones straight into your bloodstream.
Here are some
additional tips for buying shampoo:
- Shop at a store that carefully takes care of the selection process for you when stocking their shelves. Any Whole Foods or similar store should do. You can also search online for natural shampoos.
- Just because your shampoo says “Organic” on the front label, doesn’t mean it isn’t guilty of harboring toxic chemicals. This is a common scam used by greedy hair product companies to fool you into overlooking their estrogen-loaded shampoos and conditioners. Read the ingredients anyway!
- Don’t fall prey to believing that you need thick suds to clean your hair. You don’t! Natural shampoos don’t lather up like more commercial brands because they don’t contain the toxic foaming agents you want to stay away from. Your hair will still get clean without the bubbles and you’ll protect your manhood in the process.
