It’s often thought that liver damage is always caused by too much alcohol or sugar, but there is something MUCH worse. Pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, plastics, and forever chemicals contain toxic compounds that mimic estrogen. These toxins fit into the estrogen receptors in your cells and activate the estrogen effect in certain parts of the body. These chemicals overstimulate estrogen receptors in the body, which can cause the following problems:•Reduced bile production•Increased risk of breast cancer•Increased incidence of hypothyroidism•Weight gain•Increased breast tissue in men•Increased acne •Decreased sperm count •Decreased testosterone levels •Estrogen dominance in postmenopausal womenThese toxins that mimic estrogen are called xenoestrogens. A healthy liver can eliminate these chemicals from the body, but if liver health is compromised or overloaded, it may be difficult. Avoid xenoestrogens as much as possible, although it may be impossible to avoid them all. You must also support the liver’s ability to detox naturally.
