It is used to give containers their structure, but its use has been dropping steadily over recent years as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/21605673\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shows that it is a potent endocrine disruptor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of this, you may see tags on water bottles advertising their \u2018BPA-free\u2019 status, but you may not be aware that it is also a component of epoxy resins and can be found in other types of plastic food containers as well as water pipes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may not be able to completely cut off all sources of BPA in your environment, but a great way to minimize ingesting it through contact with your food and drink is to look for and only buy BPA-free plastic, or even glass containers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heavy Metals<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heavy metals like aluminum, cadmium, lead and mercury disrupt thyroid hormone production by preventing the uptake of iodine. It is critical for producing the thyroid\u2019s main hormonal products: thyroxine (T4), a biologically inactive hormone that is converted into triiodothyronine (T3), the active form.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By interfering with the use of iodine in our bodies, heavy metals can lower our serum thyroxine levels, which can be detrimental to our body\u2019s metabolism. This consequence is especially detrimental for individuals with hypothyroidism, as their bodies already underproduce this necessary hormone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, heavy metals are ubiquitous in our daily lives; you can find them in commonly encountered objects like in cooking foils, deodorants, cheap jewelry and batteries, to name a few. Some things you could do to eliminate these sources include:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using natural deodorants that do not contain aluminum<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throwing away your batteries at designated disposal sites<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoiding lead-containing jewelry, opting instead for silver, gold or stainless steel<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoiding cookware like tinfoil (which is actually made of aluminum)<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Herbicides\/Pesticides<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because a majority of produce sold in grocery stores has to be transported across great distances and stay fresh from farm to table, our vegetables and fruits are often treated with herbicides and pesticides, as well as other chemical preservatives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only are these chemicals associated with adverse effects on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/33625310\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cardiovascular<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/31197504\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">neurological <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">health, but they can also <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/33512083\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">interfere with thyroid hormone production<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in ways that may have intergenerational effects.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To mitigate these risks, consider buying organic, non-pesticide treated fruits\/vegetables and wash your produce thoroughly to remove any preservatives that may be sprayed on to them.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flame Retardants<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flame retardants used on fabrics such as clothes, furniture and rugs contain halogens like bromine, which is an endocrine disruptor that mimics thyroid hormone and binds competitively with its receptors on body cells.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These halogens can also be found in household cleaning chemicals, pools (as chlorine) and in some foods as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fluoride<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A halogen that deserves a special mention is fluoride. You may be familiar with its presence in your toothpaste as it is an anti-cavity compound, but some municipalities also add it to their water for this specific reason.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0160412019301370?via%3Dihub\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> show that moderate fluoride exposure can affect thyroid hormone output.
