More thyroid advices.
The air we breath is polluted, the water we drink is filthy and the environment we evolve in every day is toxic.
What is a girl to do?
Here are some advices that I gathered from the Fluoride Alert site
1. Avoid drinking fluoridated water.Filter water with a reverse osmosis or distillation unit. THe carbon block filters are highly recommended to remove the chlorine and bromine, also major thyroid disruptors.
2. Live a more chemically free, and immune-friendly lifestyle. Read household product labels. Find out what ones have immune disruptive substances.
3. Refrain from using medicines with fluorine atoms as part of their chemical structure such as Prozac (which includes Zoloft, Paxil, etc.)
4. Avoid chemically-smelling air whenever possible. If it smells like chemicals, it's probably not a good thing. A few examples: gaz stations [difficult to avoid] and new cars, new carpets are terrible. Avoid cigarette smoke, fabric stores, radiator shops, and newly painted rooms. And sadly, bathing in chlorinated water at home and at the pool may contribute as well to harming the thyroid.
5. One other thing: processed food. Food that is processed with flurorinated water tends to concentrate fluoride. Like processed morning cereals. Seventy-one percent of the [sodas] had fluoride levels exceeding 0.60 ppm. Tea. Green tea and black tea contain large amounts of fluoride. Most of the iced teas studied contained considerable fluoride concentrations. Wines: multiple applications of Cryolite during the growing season significantly increase fluoride in wines.' Notably they found fluoride levels between 3 - 6 ppm. Foods made with mechanically de-boned chicken have the potential to be a major contributor to total fluoride intake [for some reason].
Food categories with the highest mean fluoride levels were fish [2.118 ppm], beverages [1.148 ppm], and soups [0.606 ppm]. Individual samples with the highest fluoride levels were tea [4.97 ppm], canned fish [4.57 ppm], shellfish [3.36 ppm], cooked veal [1.23 ppm], and cooked wheat cereal [1.02 ppm].
6. Avoid teflon
In Teflon-coated ware, the concentration of fluoride ion in water that was boiled in this container, increased to nearly 3 ppm.
7. While the US & Canada do not yet have salt fluoridation programs, it is currently estimated that more people in the world are exposed to fluoridated salt than fluoridated water.
8. ANAESTHETICS (Enflurane, Isoflurane & Sevoflurana)
9. Cigarettes may be another significant source of fluoride intake by humans.
