Five Surprising Sources of Toxins

Surprising source #1 Caned foods
85% of all food cans sold in the U.S. ~ even those containing organic food- are lined with a plastic coating containing the chemical bisphenol A (BPA). BPA leaches out of the lining of the can and into your food. In fact, scientists analyzed 20 different brands of canned food and found BPA contamination in half of all the cans they examined! According to researchers at the Yale School of Medicine even low doses of BPA can lead to memory problems and brain aging.

Surprising Source #2 Airline Seats
The interiors of airplanes are drenched in a flame retarding chemical called PBDE. PBDEs are added to just about anything that burns-mattresses, carpets, plastic television casings, and more. Over time, PBDEs escape from these treated plastics and fabrics into the dust and air we breathe. National Geographic Magazine recently paid to have one of its reporters tested for PBDEs as part of an investigation into chemical contamination. The reporter flies thousands of miles each year as part of his job. The reporter's tests showed that his blood level of one particular PBDE was off the charts- higher than if he worked at a factory that manufactured the chemical. PBDEs are associated with permanent and serious neurological damage in laboratory animals. Research shows that most Americans already have toxic levels of this chemical in their bodies.

Surprising Source #3 Your car
The dashboard of your car is loaded with toxic chemicals called phthalates. Phthalates make plastic more pliable and soft. Over time phthalates "sweat" out of the dashboard and into the air you breathe. That's why in older cars, the dashboard becomes more brittle. Phthalates interfere with testosterone production, causing testosterone levels to plummet. This leads to low sex drive, fatigue, and reduced muscle mass and more.

Surprising Source #4 Prescription and Over the counter Drugs
Over 55 commonly used medications- including antibiotics and antihistamines can cause disorientation and weaken memory and impair brain function in older Americans. Not only that, but if you take 3 or more medications, you have an increased likelihood of suffering an overdose from these drugs. That's because the "cocktail effect" makes these drugs more potent when used in combination and because your liver function declines with age, making it harder for your body to process this toxic combination.

Surprising Source #5 Personal-Care Products
The FDA estimates that over 65% of cosmetics contain toxic ingredients. But that's not all, shampoos, aftershaves, deodorants, and antibacterial soaps contain over two hundred different synthetic chemicals. These chemicals include endocrine disrupters that cant affect hormone levels.

The good news is you can safely and easily eliminate these dangerous toxins from your body before they can destroy your health!  Try the Ultimate Body Applicator and/or some of the other ItWorks supplements on my site www.getabikinibody.itworks.net and detox yourself quickly and easily while improving your looks while you do it.  :-) 

Note:  You must drink water the 45 minutes you have the wrap on and during the 72 hours that it is working after you take it off for it to properly work and flush the toxins out of your body.  My daughter happens to have A LOT of toxins in her body and she knows she is detoxing because she spends quite a bit of time in the bathroom during her detox period.
