>STORY AT-A-GLANCE
>Removing toxic exposures from your life can help reduce your risk of disease and increase your quality of life and well-being
>The No. 1 item to remove is linoleic acid, the primary fatty acid found in vegetable/seed oils in most processed and restaurant foods
>Other items to eliminate for better health include artificial sweeteners, plastic food containers and bottles and nonstick cookware
>Antibacterial soaps, commercial cleaning and personal care products, and EMFs from your cellphone should also be eliminated as much as possible
>Avoiding eating after dinner and replacing your desk chair with a standup desk round out the list of items you can do for optimal health
I'll paste the top paragraph of everything, I know many anons dont download pdf's. Mercola's articles disappear after 2 days so there's no point in linking it.
"Eliminate these 10 Things fora healthier life:
>1.Linoleic acid — Linoleic acid is the primary fat found in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), including vegetable/seed oils, and accounts for about 80% of the fat composition of vegetable oils. Omega-6 fats must be balanced with omega-3 fats in order to not be harmful, but this isn't the case for most Americans. Most of the omega-6 people eat, including seed oils, has been damaged and oxidized through processing.
>2.Eating after dinner — The timing of your meals is nearly as important as the foods that make them up. Time restricted eating (TRE) is a simple powerful intervention that mimics the eating habits of our ancestors and restores your body to a more natural state that allows a whole host of metabolic benefits to occur.6
>TRE involves limiting your eating window to six to eight hours per day instead of the more than 12-hour window most people use…
> 3. EMFs and cellphones — Most cellphones include a little-known warning that states to keep the phone a certain distance away from your body — usually 5 to 15 millimeters (mm) — to limit exposure to radiofrequency (RF) exposure to under the federal safety limit.9 If you carry your phone in your pocket or your bra, or hold it against your ear when you talk, you're violating this warning with unknown health consequences.
>Devra Davis, Ph.D., founder and president of the Environmental Health Trust, has warned for years about the risks of cellphones in general but, in particular, about the risks to pregnant women and their unborn children, noting that prenatal animal studies have shown exposure to radiation from cellphones:10
Altered DNA
Altered brain metabolism
Compromised spinal cords
Affected learning abilities
>4. Artificial sweeteners — Consuming artificially sweetened foods and beverages leads to disruptions to metabolism13,14 and has been linked to increased appetite and cravings, as well as an increased risk of diabetes and other metabolic diseases.15,16
>The artificial sweeteners acesulfame potassium and sucralose — brand name Splenda —may even interfere with your liver's detoxification process, as research found they inhibited the activity of P-glycoprotein (PGP), a "defense protein" that's important for protecting organisms against environmental toxins.
>5. Plastic food containers and bottles — If you're still storing your food in plastic containers or drinking from plastic bottles, switching to safe alternatives like glass, ceramic and stainless steel is a smart choice.
>Microplastics, which are simply tiny pieces of plastic, are common in bottled water, for starters. When researchers with the department of chemistry at the State University of New York at Fredonia tested 259 bottles of water, they found microplastic contamination in 93% of them.20
>It's unknown what health risks are posed by consuming these tiny plastic particles, but it is known that microplastics may act like sponges for contaminants including heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) or pathogens, or could cause harm on a cellular or subcellular level.
>6. Nonstick cookware — The convenience of a nonstick surface comes at a steep price, as chemicals used in their production persist in the environment, are contaminating water supplies and have been linked to developmental problems, cancer, liver damage, immune effects, thyroid problems and more.
>Polyfluoroalkyl or perfluoroalkyl chemicals (PFASs), which include PFOA and PFOS, are estimated to be in the blood of more than 98% of Americans.23 While production of PFOA ended in 2015, DuPont and other companies have substituted similar chemicals in the production of nonstick cookware.
