Pregnant women chock full o' chemicals
We're basting babies in a chemical wash -- marinating them in a womb full of toxins and waste.
A new study finds pregnant women are filled with the worst alphabet soup imaginable: PCBs, PFCs, PBDEs and BPA.
And that's not all -- in fact, that's just the beginning.
Researchers examined blood and urine samples from 268 pregnant women, and found 43 risky chemicals in nearly all of them -- including phthalates, pesticides, perchlorate, sunscreen chemicals, and more.
So naturally, the researchers from the University of California-San Francisco who conducted the study concluded that pregnant women should eat less fat.
Say WHAT???
Listen, I don't know what chemicals got into the water at the University of California-San Francisco, but the last thing a pregnant woman or her baby needs is less fat.
Fats are essential to the development of the fetus and play a crucial role in the baby's growth.
There's a reason breast milk doesn't come in skim!
If you really want what's best for baby, don't avoid fats -- avoid plastics, cans, processed foods, soy, sunscreens, fancy soaps, and shampoos instead.
