#120-Limit Plastics, Phthalates, (Falates). and Microwaves

Plastics and Falates are detrimental, we’re sure you know what plastics are, but if you don’t know what Falates are they basically: Are any of a group of esters of phthalic acid that are widely used in the manufacture of plastics and also as synthetic additives in perfumes and cosmetics. These chemicals have been linked to reproductive and hormonal abnormalities in humans.

Falates can be found in most products that have contact with plastics during production, packaging, or delivery. Chronic exposure to Falates will adversely influence the endocrine system and functioning of multiple organs, which has negative long-term impacts on the success of pregnancy, child growth and development, and the reproductive systems in both young children and adolescents.

Some dairy products, fish, seafood, and oils are found to have a high level of Falates.
