    I heard a researcher say that increasing infertility is the result of the plethora of chemicals in our environment. I think she is onto something there and has a lot of good science backing her theory on infertility.

    5/7 Americans are peeing out high levels of chlormequat. Chlormequat is banned by the USDA because it is a known fertility and hormone disruptor. But Mark is right about the issue with PCOS. That's highly related to hyperinsulinemia and obesity.

    It's so frustrating. I love sardines and want to eat the smash fish but they only come in cans which mean that food is being cooked in the can's plastic lining. Even if it's bpa free it's likely going to expose you to bps or another bpa relative as an alternative and microplastics.

    I think that you are onto something there Debbie, the low income people tend to dine more often on junk foods so I try to cover all my bases and eat chips, burgers, Coca-Cola, deep fried foods, Coca-Cola, french fries, burgers, potato chips, Coca-Cola etc.

    Good point. They are also usually pretty young so they haven’t built up enough of a toxic load to affect them yet. The body is also very forgiving when you are very young, just a thought.

    This is all very good information, but i dont understand why, in all of discussions of hormones and necessary vitamins and minerals, you are neglecting Iodine. Your body can't make many of the hormones it needs without iodine, and yet some doctors (who test their patients with a 24 hour pee test) have found more than 95% were iodine deficient. They were in the goiter belt, but I would think that anyone who is having issues should at least look into it. At the very least, it should be on the "list".

    Iodine has a very narrow therapeutic window. There is a chance of dangerous side effects with overdosing. Get levels checked first

    @@sillyjontag53 There is new research out that says otherwise. The big problem is detox effects from the iodine pushing out bromine, fluoride, and chlorine. You have to go slow, but Iodine is absolutely essential to many functions, as well as hormones, in the body.

    @EvgeniiaDolenenko he's using a bridging technique. These topics are hard, and for the people listening who may be suffering from them, their first response will be to become defensive. Some may miss the message for the messenger, and to *try* to mitigate that reflexive distance, Dr. Hyman is seeking to put them at ease. I can't see how you arrived at lack of empathy, when clearly the man is concerned for his implied audience.

    Could it be that your diet made you become too sensitive? I'm just guessing because I am also prone to this. Taking things too personally is related to anxiety. Nowadays apart from fixing my diet, I'm trying to manage anxiety and overthinking because it can lead to hormonal imbalances and infertility too.
