Tissues center and right come from a rat exposed to toxic chemicals known as"endocrine disruptors" Here is a recently added reference article: Pollutant Changes Sexual Preference AAAS article by Cassandra Willyard on 30 November 2010 alturl.com/44kt4 But before I get into that, lets be clear about this. Your gonads are a part of what modern medicine calls the "Endocrine System". So when you hear them talking about Toxic chemical exposures to "endocrine disruptors" they are talking about "Ball Busters", Egg Crunchers", "Breast Levelers" The "Toxic Sermon" that I am preaching about this demands participation form the congregation. So feel free to "shout it out", if you think you have any alternative names ( euphemism's ) for these toxic chemicals known as "endocrine disruptors" Toxic chemical exposures in the "endocrine disrupting" class. Several articles are linked into this blog of "Connect the Toxic Dots". It is advised that you read through this posting before checking the verifiable reference material. Peer reviewed medical journal aticles are cited and linked in below, after the "Toxic Tweets" that "connect the dots" of censored news stories. Please note that the article about mercury being a pollutant that can Change Sexual Preference DOES NOT consider the cumulative effects, nor the effects of mixing lead or any other chemical in with the exposure to mercury. Caution: Connecting these "Toxic Tweets" can reveal a rather perverse scenario that is "all about the money" Updates for this blog are stories that I had posted at my Toxic Reverend Twitter profile at twitter.com/toxicreverend Pollutant Changes Sexual Preference AAAS article by Cassandra Willyard on 30 November 2010 alturl.com/44kt4 From 12-04-10 Also note Twitter posting of 11-12-10 "Straightkink" follow money trail pornography statistics link 2 PDF download where the money goes plus priests on porn survey results bit.ly/csdaSW (More money than the football, baseball and basketball sports, combined.

Some how, these terms seem more defining than "endocrine disrupting chemicals". An article that lists peer reviewed medical journal articles about common toxic chemicals that can feminize boys and cause girls to become masculine that was published by Green Peace and titled "Fragile" is linked in with a few other articles below.

By Nicholas Kristof For the effects on reproductive health, the most crucial period may be the first trimester of pregnancy (when sex differentiation occurs) and to a lesser extent the rest of pregnancy and childhood up through adolescence. These are times in the life cycle when the body has few hormones, and so some extra estrogen may fool the body into triggering changes (such as early puberty or feminization of male genitalia). After adolescence, the body already has so many hormones that a modest increase in estrogen may make much less difference. Still, it’s troubling to see the recent studies showing that higher levels of BPA in the blood correlate to obesity, diabetes, miscarriages and cardiovascular problems — even in adults who have plenty of hormones in their bodies. For safety’s sake, I’m steering clear of BPA to the extent I can. The FDA has generally dropped the ball on regulation of chemicals over the years, particularly in the Bush years, but it is now reviewing BPA again End of excerpt from: Kristof’s blog “On the Ground,” ___________________ The Center for Disease Control (CDC) released a new study showing that nearly all Americans are contaminated with oxybenzone, a widely-used sunscreen ingredient.

They get absorbed right through the skin (a porous organ that absorbs most substances it comes into contact with) and enter the bloodstream. End of excerpt. _____________________________________ The attached article on sunlight and the best ways to protect yourself is from: Beyond Health www.beyondhealth.com REPRINTED FROM BEYOND HEALTH News Sunlight and Health by Raymond Francis In a number of BHN issues beginning in July/August of '96, we have told our readers that, contrary to popular belief, sunlight does not cause cancer. In fact cancer rates are much lower where there is more sunlight. I have recently come across an excellent book by Zane Kime, MD titled Sunlight. Dr. Kime looks at the relationship of sunlight and human health. He takes studies from the scientific literature and demonstrates sunlight's beneficial effects in lowering cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar. He cites how sunlight increases endurance, sex hormone levels, and immunity. The book also contains dietary suggestions on how to protect your skin from sun damage the way nature intended. It's easy to forget, in the midst of our cancer epidemic, that cancer was traditionally a rare disease affecting less than 1% of the population. The healthy, long-lived populations like the Hunzas and the Vilcabambas lived at high elevations where the sun was more intense. They were out farming every day. Yet they lived to very old ages without getting cancer. If the sun causes cancer, how did these people and others like the Polynesians ever survive? Skin cancer is the end-result of many factors of which inappropriate sun exposure is only one. Like a lot of things, too much of a good thing can be bad for you. The sun is essential to health, but too little or too much sun will damage health. The sun can do damage if we use it improperly. And use it improperly is what most of us do. Studies show that the incidence of all malignancy is 6 to 10 times lower closer to the equator where there is more sunlight, and people who have chronic exposure to the sun are less likely to develop melanoma than urbanized people who have intermittent exposure. One of the reasons for lower cancer rates may be that people who are out in the sun all the time form pigments that protect them from the sun, and their sun exposure makes them healthier in the first place. Urban dwellers don't get enough healthy sun exposure. They often get intermittent tans that fade. Repeating this cycle may result in damage because the skin is not protected during the tanning process. Also the urban dweller is much more likely to burn during the tanning process. Some researchers believe that burns are a key to skin cancer. Turning into a red lobster is definitely not conducive to good health, as any lobster can attest. No one is arguing that sunlight doesn't trigger free radical activity and that the amount of free radicals doesn't increase with the intensity of the sunshine. These free radicals can cause skin to age prematurely, wrinkle, and sunburn, and can damage DNA and cause skin lesions. However, research shows that diets rich in carotenes and other antioxidants protect the skin against the hazards of ultraviolet sunlight. Carotenes are a class of compounds found in plants, fruits, and vegetables that reduce the free radical activity that causes damage and premature aging of cells. Research has shown that diets rich in carotenes reduce the risk of cancer and prevent the damage to DNA that results in a number of degenerative diseases. In fact carotenes are being called nature's "sun umbrella." Carotenes are used up during exposure to sunlight, so one's dietary supply must be adequate to provide continuous protection. Here's the problem. Very few Americans are getting adequate amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables in their diet. We are blaming the sun for problems caused by poor diets and excessive inappropriate exposures. What about sunscreens? A few decades of increasing sunscreen use has done nothing to stop the increasing rate of skin cancer. In fact, the chemicals in sunscreens may even become carcinogenic when exposed to sunlight. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania say that broad-spectrum sunscreens still aren't broad enough to cover the full spectrum of potentially harmful light. Ultraviolet radiation consists of over 100 separate frequencies. Sunscreens don't protect against all, and we don't know which are harmful and which beneficial. We may even be blocking the wrong ones. In addition, using a sunscreen can create a false sense of security and cause people to spend excessive amounts of time in the sun. Researchers at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston say, "There is no substantial evidence that sunscreen protects against any of the three forms of skin cancer. Dr. Robin Marks, a dermatologist and a professor at the University of Melbourne says, "Relying on synthetic chemicals to prevent cancer is laughable." Arthur Rhodes, a University of Pittsburgh dermatologist, told a 1994 meeting of the American Cancer Society that sunscreens "appear weakly effective or ineffective" at preventing cancer. The fact is we were designed to be out in the sun. Sunlight is absolutely essential for good health in so many ways that we don't even begin to understand them. Unless you do something foolish, the sun won't damage healthy people who have adequate amounts of nutrients like carotenes, lycopene, essential fatty acids, and vitamins A, C, E, and zinc and selenium. Our need for the sun is exemplified by the fact that nature intended we get most of our vitamin D from the sun. Vitamin D is almost totally absent in vegetable foods. When sunlight strikes the skin it sets off a multi-staged process whereby cholesterol is ultimately changed into vitamin D. Vitamin D is essential to the absorption of calcium from the intestines and for the production of enzymes involved in collagen formation in the bones. Staying out of the sun is partially responsible for our epidemic of osteoporosis, especially in our elderly. One study found that 36% of elderly men and 47% of elderly women were vitamin D deficient. Even moderate sun exposure would help to alleviate this problem. However, sunlight through window glass will not activate vitamin D synthesis. Sunlight is absolutely essential to good health. Its only been in recent times that the sun has been cast as our enemy. If getting too little or too much sun is bad for us, how can the average person get what they need without harming themselves? First of all get the sun slowly. Secondly, stay out of the midday sun. Timing sun exposures to avoid the hours of 10 to 2 PM will cut ultraviolet exposure by 60% because the sun is less intense. Most everyone should try to get at least ten minutes in the sun on a daily basis and longer on weekends. If you do it this way, your skin will adapt through skin pigmentation and you won't get sunburned. Some experts claim at least one hour of unfiltered sunlight per day is essential to health. This doesn't have to be in direct sun, indirect sunlight is acceptable but it should not be filtered through glass. Sunlight into the retina is a very important nutrient. Retinas need the whole spectrum of solar radiation, and wearing glasses or contacts could screen out important frequencies that are critical to long-term health. When you are in direct sun for long periods, cover up. Wear a broad brimmed hat and suitable clothing. We need to protect against skin cancer both from the outside and the inside. Getting an optimal amount of nutrients is essential. Eat a diet that is rich in fresh, unrefined, essential fatty acids such as those contained in Udo's Choice. A diet rich in carotenes is essential. Supplementation with products like Caroplete should be considered. Caroplete contains a natural mixture of carotenes including lycopene. In addition, vitamins A, C, and E along with minerals like zinc and selenium will help to both protect and repair skin. How much sun is right for you depends on your biochemical individuality. With a bit of awareness and following the above suggestions, you should be able to develop a healthy golden tan and reap the benefits of the sun without doing harm. Health is a choice, and by developing good habits and making sensible choices, the sun will be your friend and not your enemy.

Lead exposure in children linked to violent crime

A study finds that even low levels can permanently damage the brain. The research also shows that exposure is a continuing problem despite efforts to minimize it. By Thomas H. Maugh II and Marla Cone, Los Angeles Times Staff Writers May 28, 2008 www.latimes.com/news/scien...07472.story The first study to follow lead-exposed children from before birth into adulthood has shown that even relatively low levels of lead permanently damage the brain and are linked to higher numbers of arrests, particularly for violent crime. Earlier studies linking lead to such problems used indirect measures of both lead and criminality, and critics have argued that socioeconomic and other factors may be responsible for the observed effects. But by measuring blood levels of lead before birth and during the first seven years of life, then correlating the levels with arrest records and brain size, Cincinnati researchers have produced the strongest evidence yet that lead plays a major role in crime. The researchers also found that lead exposure is a continuing problem despite the efforts of the federal government and cities to minimize exposure. The average lead levels in the study "unfortunately are still seen in many thousands of children throughout the United States," said Philip J. Landrigan, director of the Center for Children's Health and the Environment at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York. The link between criminal behavior and lead exposure was found among even the least-contaminated children in the study, who were exposed to amounts of lead similar to what the average U.S. child is exposed to today, said Landrigan, who was not involved in the study. "People will sometimes say, 'This is in the past. We are cleaning up lead. We don't have lead problems anymore,' " said criminologist Deborah W. Denno of Fordham University in New York, who also was not involved in the study. "The Ohio study says this is still a big problem." Nationwide, about 310,000 children between the ages of 1 and 5 have blood lead levels above the federal guideline of 10 micrograms per deciliter, and experts suspect that many times that number have lower levels that are still dangerous. "It is a national disgrace that so many children continue to be exposed at levels known to be neurotoxic," said neurologist David C. Bellinger of Harvard Medical School, who wrote an editorial accompanying the study published in the online journal PLoS Medicine. Although some urban soil is still contaminated with lead from gasoline, 80% of lead exposure now comes from houses built before 1978. Paint in such houses can contain as much as 50% lead, and even if it has been covered by newer, lead-free paint, it still flakes or rubs off. About 38 million U.S. homes, 40% of the nation's housing, still contain lead-based paint, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The problem is particularly acute in urban areas, which typically have older housing that has not been renovated. More recently, parents and authorities have become concerned about increasing levels of lead-based paint in toys imported from China. Researchers have long known that lead exposure reduces IQ by damaging brain cells in children during their early years. It is also known that lead increases children's distractibility, impulsiveness and restlessness and shortens their attention span, all factors considered precursors of aggressive or violent behavior. A landmark 1990 paper by Denno linked lead to increases in criminal behavior, but the children in the study were not tested for lead levels. The diagnoses were based on their physicians' evaluation, Denno said. The Cincinnati lead study enrolled 376 pregnant women in Cincinnati's inner city between 1979 and 1984, measuring their blood lead levels during pregnancy and the children's levels during their first seven years of life. In the new study, environmental health researcher Kim N. Dietrich of the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine studied 250 of the original group, correlating their lead levels with adult criminal arrest records from Hamilton County, Ohio. He and his colleagues found that 55% of the subjects (63% of males) had been arrested and that the average was five arrests between the ages of 18 and 24. The higher the blood lead level at any time in childhood, the greater the likelihood of arrests. "The strongest association was with violent criminal activity -- murder, rape, domestic violence, assault, robbery and possession of weapons," Dietrich said. Blood lead levels in the children ranged from 4 to 37 micrograms per deciliter. The researchers found, for example, that every 5-microgram-per-deciliter increase in blood lead levels at age 6 was accompanied by a 50% increase in the incidence of violent crime later in life. Confirming previous findings, the effect of lead was strongest in males, who had an arrest rate 4 1/2 times that of females. In a related study, spectroscopist Kim M. Cecil of Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and her colleagues examined a "representative sample" of 157 members of the same group using whole-brain MRI scans. They found that those with the highest blood levels of lead during childhood had the smallest brain volume. On average, the brains of those in the study were about 1.2% smaller than normal. The most affected regions of the brain were those regulating decision making, impulse control, attention, error detection, task completion and reward-based decision making. "The most important message is that lead affects brain volume, independent of demographic and social factors that are often used to explain away poor outcomes" in life, Cecil said. "This is independent biological evidence showing that the brain is affected by lead." ____________________________________________ Comment: FYI: a work in progress is posted at: Suicide - Homicide and the Biochemistry of Crime.

End quote Comment from TR: While I do not use a cell phone, if I did have to, I would use a head set - TR __________________________________________________ *Mobile Phones 'More Dangerous Than Smoking'* Brain expert warns of huge rise in tumours and calls on industry to take immediate steps to reduce radiation By Geoffrey Lean, The Independent news Sunday, 30 March 2008 www.independent.co.uk/life-st...602.html Mobile phones could kill far more people than smoking or asbestos, a study by an award-winning cancer expert has concluded. He says people should avoid using them wherever possible and that governments and the mobile phone industry must take "immediate steps" to reduce exposure to their radiation. The study, by Dr. Vini Khurana, is the most devastating indictment yet published of the health risks. It draws on growing evidence -- exclusively reported in the IoS in October -- that using handsets for 10 years or more can double the risk of brain cancer. Cancers take at least a decade to develop, invalidating official safety assurances based on earlier studies which included few, if any, people who had used the phones for that long. Earlier this year, the French government warned against the use of mobile phones, especially by children. Germany also advises its people to minimise handset use, and the European Environment Agency has called for exposures to be reduced. Professor Khurana -- a top neurosurgeon who has received 14 awards over the past 16 years, has published more than three dozen scientific papers -- reviewed more than 100 studies on the effects of mobile phones. He has put the results on a brain surgery website, and a paper based on the research is currently being peer-reviewed for publication in a scientific journal. He admits that mobiles can save lives in emergencies, but concludes that "there is a significant and increasing body of evidence for a link between mobile phone usage and certain brain tumours." He believes this will be "definitively proven" in the next decade. Noting that malignant brain tumours represent "a life-ending diagnosis," he adds: "We are currently experiencing a reactively unchecked and dangerous situation." He fears that "unless the industry and governments take immediate and decisive steps," the incidence of malignant brain tumours and associated death rate will be observed to rise globally within a decade from now, by which time it may be far too late to intervene medically. "It is anticipated that this danger has far broader public health ramifications than asbestos and smoking," says Professor Khurana, who told the IoS his assessment is partly based on the fact that three billion people now use the phones worldwide, three times as many as smoke. Smoking kills some five million worldwide each year, and exposure to asbestos is responsible for as many deaths in Britain as road accidents. Late last week, the Mobile Operators Association dismissed Khurana's study as "a selective discussion of scientific literature by one individual." It believes he "does not present a balanced analysis" of the published science, and "reaches opposite conclusions to the W.H.O. and more than 30 other independent expert scientific reviews." -- ...-- End Of Forwarded Message ----- .... edited ..... -- ...-- End Of Forwarded Message ----- Regards, Tom Krohmer Environmental Technologist toxicreverend.blogspot.com/ aka The Toxic Reverend www.myspace.com/toxicreverend aka Justice Is Homeless www.myspace.com/justiceishomeless Who's a criminal ? people.tribe.net/toxicreverend Homicide Charges For Corporations (Rough draft posted with active reference links) www.angelfire.com/nm/redcollarcrime
