“What are endocrine disruptors?

Endocrine disrupting chemicals—also known as EDCs—are harmful substances in the environment. They’re usually manmade, found in a wide variety of consumer goods. Think: carpets, cookware, household dust, fragrances, furniture, paints, skincare products, plastics, pesticides, certain pharmaceuticals, and unfiltered drinking water.

Common Endocrine Disruptors and How to Avoid Them

There’s a laundry list of endocrine disruptors out there, but these are the most common (as well as where they’re hidden):

Bisphenol A (BPA) and other bisphenols: plastics and canned goods.

Chemical flame retardants: furniture, mattresses, and kitchen items.

High-risk pesticides: personal care, conventional food, weed killers, and unfiltered water.

Methylisothiazolinone: preservative found in cleaning and personal care products.

Oxybenzone: sunscreen and fragrances.
Parabens: personal care.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS): stain-resistant carpeting, nonstick cookware, cosmetics, some food packaging materials, and some menstrual health products.

Phthalates: plastics, canned goods, fragrance
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs): paints, plastics, and rubber.

Triclosan and triclocarban: cleaning products, labeled as “antimicrobial.”

I wonder if this is true about all x-rays….


“What does a spot on my lung mean?

A spot on the lung, which is also referred to as a lung or pulmonary nodule, could be an early indication of cancer. However, this is not usually the case. The appearance of a lung spot on an X-ray is quite common and usually indicates a benign condition.

Lung nodules may be caused by a variety of issues other than cancer, but it’s important to have them checked out to be sure and to address any causes that require treatment.

These types of nodules may be caused by marks or scars left from a previous infection, such as:

A fungal infection

A bacterial infection

A mycobacterial infection

Another possible cause of a lung nodule is a granuloma, a benign rounded scar resulting from many different benign inflammatory diseases, other than cancer.“

HIBACHI Zucchini Mussrooms & Onion

Mix together Hibachi Sauce ingredients and chill:

-1/4 cup cococonut Aminos
-1/2 cup water
-2 tablespoons brown sugar
-1 teaspoon rice vinegar
-3/4 teaspoon salt
-1.5 teaspoons hot dry Chinese mustard
-finely minced green onion

To prepare the vegetables:

1. Wash zucchini and mushrooms. Snip of half of the stems from the mushrooms. Cut sweet onion in half and cut each half in half again to get a lot of surface area. I picked some stray shishito peppers that I am growing to add to my mix.

2. Heat a cast iron griddle pan very hot. Add a tablespoon of ghee to the griddle and quickly add the zucchini, flat side down, then the onion and then the mushrooms and shishito peppers. Give them all a sprinkle of salt and let them cook without disturbing for several minutes to get a good char.

3. Turn the veggies over and cook some more until browned. Cover with a metal cake pan.

4. Lift the corner of the pan with tongs and pour in a quarter cup of water and quickly close it so the vegetables steam. Once the steam subsides, cook for an extra minute more, Remove the metal pan using a potholder and turn off the heat.

5. Remove the mushrooms and Shishitos to a bowl.

6.Chopped the zucchini and mushrooms into bite size pieces and toss all the veggies together. Serve with Hibachi Sauce.

The trick to this dish is to cook the veggies in larger pieces with as much surface area touching the pan, and cut them smaller in the end. Doing it this way gives a nice sweet caramelization to the veggies, and keeps them from getting mushy.

“Methionine is an essential amino acid — one of the building blocks of protein that cannot be produced by the human body so must come from our food. It is one of two sulfur-containing amino acids (the other is cysteine). Methionine is an intermediary in the synthesis of cysteine, carnitine, taurine, and other compounds. It protects liver cells, and helps to prevent lipid peroxidation, and possibly atherosclerosis and elevated cholesterol. Although methionine is essential to human life, some people benefit by limiting, but not eliminating methionine in their diets. For such individuals a methionine-restricted diet may be advised.

Should I be on a methionine-restricted diet?
Some individuals need to restrict methionine due to inherited disorders that affect methionine metabolism. There is growing interest in methionine restricted diets for those who are unaffected by these genetic metabolic disorders. Evidence suggests that such diets could enhance longevity and help to prevent or treat certain chronic health conditions. The most common indications for a methionine-restricted diet are:

i) MTHFR variants. MTHFR gene mutations can lead to elevated homocysteine. Methionine restriction is commonly recommended to help reduce homocysteine accumulation.

ii) Cancer. While human studies are sparse, there is some evidence that cancer cells grow less robustly, and sometimes undergo apoptosis (cell death) when deprived of methionine.

iii) Depression. High methionine intakes can elevate homocysteine levels and risk of depression.

iv) Lifespan extension. Low methionine diets increase metabolic flexibility and overall insulin sensitivity and improve lipid metabolism while decreasing systemic inflammation.

v) Insulin resistance. Methionine restriction has been shown to reduce adiposity and improve insulin sensitivity.

vi) Homocystinuria. This inherited disorder of metabolism often requires a low methionine diet.“

BROCCOLI and/or ASPARAGUS SOUP

Gather up the ingredient. Chop and sauté quite a bit of sweet onion nva couple tablespoons of butter, and sauté for 5 minutes or so. Be careful not to brown the onion. Add in a big bag of frozen broccoli, or a smaller bag of broccoli and fresh asparagus (like I did this time), and the zest of 1 to 2 lemons. Add in chicken broth to cover the vegetables about an inch. Cook in medium heat for 40 minutes, with the lid off. Turn off heat and cool the mixture, then transfer into a blender and blend for a few seconds, salt to taste and serve.

What is great about this soup is it is SO LOW IN FAT! The white onions is the key to thickening this soup and giving it its creaminess.The asparagus and broccoli combo is strangely reminiscent of split pea soup.

“…a recent study has revealed that broccoli has super cancer-fighting powers…

A compound called sulforaphane, naturally contained in broccoli, was found to have chemoprotective effects against prostate cancer.

Beyond prostate cancer, it has also been found to have anticancer effects on colon cancer, lung tumors and breast cancer.”



“When it comes to sulforaphane, you also need to pick your broccoli wisely, as certain types of broccoli are better than others.

Curiously, young sprouts of broccoli (also known as broccolini) contain 20 to 50 times more sulforaphane than mature broccoli plants.

Another thing worth mentioning is that broccoli stalks contain very little sulforaphane, but the florets are chock full of it.“

“These studies demonstrate that changing the microenvironment by addition of this molecule changes the life history of metastatic Cloudman M3 melanoma. The possibility that metastatic melanoma cells can be “re-programmed” suggests a powerful tool that permits us to drill down more precisely into mechanisms that lead to the emergence of cancer pathology.

In conclusion, methyl sulfone may be important, first, as an effective and non-toxic chemotherapeutic compound to treat metastatic melanoma cells and perhaps other metastatic cancers. Additionally, methyl sulfone appears to reprogram metastatic Cloudman M3 melanoma cells into normal healthy melanocytes. From these studies, we speculate that methyl sulfone-induced differentiation may circumvent the development of resistance in healthy melanocytes. Of equal importance, these studies suggest that methyl sulfone may be a tool for basic scientists to decipher fundamental processes whose mechanisms are not well understood: what induces or reverses contact inhibition; what regulates induction of senescence; what signaling pathways play a role in the transformation of healthy cells to cancer cells and back to healthy cells.“

RAY PEAT:
“Tryptophan is essential for cell growth, but in maturity the need for it decreases sharply as it’s used only for call maintenance, and cells that are being replaced. Every time I write about it I explain that. An excess of tryptophan, cysteine, and methionine accelerates aging and degenerative disease. In animal experiments, restricting only methionine intake has extended their longevity by 40%.”

“‘First things first: “Avoid traditional or ballpark-labeled hot dogs,” Nicole Avena, a New York-based nutrition consultant, told HuffPost. “These are usually the highest in sodium and contain the most additives and preservatives.’

All processed meats are a health risk ― they’ve been linked to certain types of cancer, like colorectal cancer, because of the way they’re preserved. But there are a few types of meat that offer less risk than the standard beef hot dog, Avena said. Look for a label that indicates whole beef, turkey or chicken, as opposed to mechanically processed and separated meats.“

“Manuka honey has been recognized for its anti-bacterial and wound-healing activity but its potential antitumor effect is poorly studied despite the fact that it contains many antioxidant compounds. In this study, we investigated the antiproliferative activity of manuka honey on three different cancer cell lines, murine melanoma (B16.F1) and colorectal carcinoma (CT26) as well as human breast cancer (MCF-7) cells in vitro. The data demonstrate that manuka honey has potent anti-proliferative effect on all three cancer cell lines in a time- and dose-dependent manner, being effective at concentrations as low as 0.6% (w/v). This effect is mediated via the activation of a caspase 9-dependent apoptotic pathway, leading to the induction of caspase 3, reduced Bcl-2 expression, DNA fragmentation and cell death. Combination treatment of cancer cells with manuka and paclitaxel in vitro, however, revealed no evidence of a synergistic action on cancer cell proliferation. Furthermore, we utilized an in vivo syngeneic mouse melanoma model to assess the potential effect of intravenously-administered manuka honey, alone or in combination with paclitaxel, on the growth of established tumors. Our findings indicate that systemic administration of manuka honey was not associated with any alterations in haematological or clinical chemistry values in serum of treated mice, demonstrating its safety profile. Treatment with manuka honey alone resulted in about 33% inhibition of tumor growth, which correlated with histologically observable increase in tumor apoptosis. Although better control of tumor growth was observed in animals treated with paclitaxel alone or in combination with manuka honey (61% inhibition), a dramatic improvement in host survival was seen in the co-treatment group. This highlights a potentially novel role for manuka honey in alleviating chemotherapy-induced toxicity.“

“Hair-care and beauty products marketed to Black women often contain a class of hormone-disrupting chemicals called parabens. According to a new study, those chemicals are not only linked to increased breast cancer risk, they can uniquely fuel the spread of cancer cells in Black women compared to white women.

Parabens are a group of chemicals that keep mold and bacteria from growing in beauty products in order to prolong their shelf lives. But in humans, parabens can mimic the hormone estrogen, possibly fueling dangerous cell growth, according to research.

The study, which will be presented today at the Endocrine Society's annual meeting in Atlanta, analyzed the effect parabens had on breast cancer cells from both Black women and white women. Researchers found parabens increased the growth of Black breast-cancer cell lines, but did not effect white breast-cancer cell lines at the same dose.

Parabens also increased the expression of genes linked to breast cancer in both Black and white women.”
