BIOACCUMULATION AND THE TOTAL BODY BURDEN
Isolated and trace amounts of xylene, toluene, benzene, styrene, phthalates, parabens and other chemical toxins may not cause health problems, but the total body burden gradually increases over years of exposure. Many of them are fat soluble and are not broken down, rather they are stored in the fat cells of your body, where they can have insidious effects in steadily increasing concentrations. This bioaccumulation creates a constant workload for the body’s detoxification systems, which can weaken over time, thus slowing the detoxification process and allowing for a greater toxic burden. Consequently, over decades of daily exposure, the toxic effect of multiple chemicals is synergistically enhanced, thus contributing to chronic un-wellness and disease.EFFECTS OF A BODY BURDEN OF CHEMICALS
