  chemicals.
• Experts estimate that 40 million pounds of
  hormonally active chemicals are produced in this
  country per annum, with 2000 new varieties
  introduced to market each year.

  to produce more milk (cheese, cottage cheese,
  yogurt etc.). Choose dairy products from cows

• It is estimated that over 80 of the US
  population is deficient in omega 3 essential
  fatty acids
• Omega 3s help to balance hormones that can cause
  PMS.
• Omega 3s help to ward off symptoms associated
  with menopause such as osteoporosis, heart
  disease, vaginal dryness, thinning skin and hair,
  joint pain and dry eyes

  reasons why Japanese women have fewer menopausal
  problems than American women do
• Why plant based omega 3 and not fish oil?

  the food chain. Large deep water fatty fish
  like tuna may contain high levels of synthetic
  chemicals and heavy metals.

  risk of developing breast cancer and that the
  risk of developing other malignant cancers
  increases ten-fold.
