deposited in the fat cells of the body.

Testosterone is a hormone that helps to build muscle, breakdown fat and improve sex drive in both males and females.
Phthalates are known to block testosterone from working properly in the human body. Lastly, phthlates have been shown to
damage the developing fetus in pregnant women.
To cut down on your exposure, avoid plastic bottles and toys labeled with the numbers 3 or 7, which often contain BPA or
phthalates, and canned foods, especially those with acidic contents like tomatoes. You should also avoid heating plastic in
microwaves. Optimally, you should drink filtered tap water in a non-plastic container.

As plastic ages or is exposed to heat or stress, it can release small amounts of some of its ingredients.
Two ingredients that are of particular concern are bisphenol-a (BPA), used to strengthen some plastics,
and phthalates, used to soften others.
BPA and phthalates are endocrine disrupters that can mimic certain hormones and block others. Too
much estrogen will cause fat to be stored around the lower abdomen, hips, thighs and buttocks. Small
amount of BPA can act like large amounts of estrogen.

21 brands of multivitamins that are sold in the US and Canada were selected by
ConsumerLab.com and tested by independent laboratories, just 10 met the stated claims
on their labels or satisfied other quality standards.
Most worrisome, according to ConsumerLab.com president Dr. Tod Cooperman, is that one
product, The Vitamin Shoppe Multivitamins Especially for Women, was contaminated with
lead.

Other products studied were shown to have problems with absorbability, meaning they could potentially pass through the
body without being absorbed. This could probably create the healthiest toilet water in the world but doesn't do much for your
body.
"Half the products were fine, half were not," said Cooperman.
