You've heard of BPA right?, well PCB's are much the same (although PCB production stooped years ago it still remains in our environment and food supply). These are man made chemicals that cause cancers, we created them, and humans are now polluted from these chemicals.
I'd start here, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polychlorinated_biphenyl (the information is solid.
The major human exposure route to BPA is diet, including ingestion of contaminated food and water.[158] Bisphenol A is leached from the lining of food and beverage cans where it is used as an ingredient in the plastic used to protect the food from direct contact with the can.[159] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisphenol_A
Thanks for explaining it to me hun, I've heard of bpa before though besides avoiding foods packaged in plastic and cans as much as I can. I feel we are kind of powerless in actually really prevemting it all...am I right? Or is there more we can do? Taking antioxidants?
