I recently came across an article on thyroid disease that made me
contemplate how important it is to know what our bodies are exposed to
each day. In it was the suggestion that house dust plays a role in the
development of the disease. Dust born compounds called PBDEs, commonly
used as fire retardants on furniture, are chemical particles carried
around on house dust. they are linked to thyroid problems in animals
that have been exposed to them, the levels of PBDEs are also 7 to 35
times higher in Americans as they are in Europeans.
One of the top
searched drug in America is Synthroid, it's prescribed by doctors to
limit the effects of hypothyroidism, which reduces thyroxine production by your thyroid gland, slowing your body down; Synthroid provides the body with the thyroxine it cannot produce on its own.
