What To Do About BPA
. . . Quercetin may be one answer
Despite efforts to replace it, more than 6 billion tons of BPA is being produced annually worldwide, and virtually every man, woman and child in the US is contaminated with it.
One way to avoid BPA is by removing packaged foods from your diet. BPA is found in
packaged food liners and in the linings of cans containing food and beverages. Last July, it was reported that scientists who asked families to eliminate all packaged foods for just three days measured a 60% average drop in the families' urinary levels of BPA -- 75% for those with the highest initial levels.
Minimize your handling of receipts. You might also consider keeping them in a small plastic bag rather than in your wallet. And DON'T throw them into your recycle bin. Traces of BPA and BPS have been showing up in all kinds of recycled products, from mailing envelopes to toilet paper.
Quercetin (the main ingredient in our Cell Repair Formula) may also help mitigate the effects of BPA. In a study with mice, quercetin prevented damage to DNA and RNA by BPA exposure. We already know that quercetin prevents hormonally-driven cancers by antagonizing harmful forms of estrogen, so it's very possible that quercetin has a similar
protective effect in humans. And since BPS is similar in structure and biological effects to BPA, quercetin may be protective against BPS as well.
Quercetin is such an important nutrient, I've included it in our Ultimate Wellness Kit, as something I wish everyone would take daily. Although known primarily for its anti inflammatory and pain relieving properties, quercetin also increases the antioxidant effects of vitamin C, and increases and sustains a high level of energy and endurance as well as maximizing physical and mental performance. It also kills germs, lowers blood
pressure, strengthens capillaries, thins the blood and fights cancer.
There are two potential problems with quercetin, however. One is safety and the other is absorption. There are forms of quercetin which actually cause cancer rather than preventing it. Fortunately our quercetin is safe and prevents cancer.
Most forms of quercetin are extremely poorly absorbed -- 1% absorption is typical. Our water-soluble quercetin dihydrate is up to 100% absorbed.
Cell Repair Formula combines quercetin with oligo-proanthocyanidins (OPCs), pomegranate juice powder and a touch of turmeric -- all in themselves potent antioxidants and anti-inflammatories -- for a maximally synergistic formula.
