In the last video, I talked about
how the xenohormones can affect our hormone balance. Today I am going to talk
about the synthetic hormones. And how are they created?
Mother Nature has a great wisdom
that humans have not been able to duplicate a natural substance in a synthetic
form. This is how they make synthetic progesterone, change a few molecules and
bonds of the chemical structure of nature progesterone and create a synthetic one,
give it a new name such as Progestin and patent it. So they can make money out
of it. Did you see the difference of the chemical structure between the
progestin and natural progesterone? They are certainly not the same. But most
of us are not aware that natural progesterone is presented abundantly in
nature, such as in soybeans and wild yam.
They are easy to obtain and also very
cheap, only 50 cents for each gram. But the pharmaceutical companies have no
interest to sponsor the research on natural progesterone and produce it because they cannot patent it and make money
out of it. Instead of using the gift from
nature, we are given the synthetic ones because this is the way money
will follow.
But making a few changes in the
chemical structures will change the whole story, as we already see this in the
chemical structure of estrogen and testosterone. The chemical structures of
them are very similar but their functions are totally different. When we take
synthetic hormone drugs, they may deliver a different message in our body.
Worse than this, because they are foreign chemicals to our body, so they cannot
be metabolized properly and removed properly. As a result, they stay longer in
our body. The longer they stay, the more damage they can do to our health.
Here
is the most interesting part. Do our foods cause us many side
effects? If this is the case, then it is not called as food. Nature provides us
many amazing healing ingredients without side effects. But this is a different
story when it comes to a drug. Almost all the drugs have a long list of side
effects along with it.
