Soap and shampoo help to increase weight

A proper healthy diet, regular physical training - what else is necessary in order to support the weight of your body in normal and your body in shape? However, scientists have found that some chemical components included in the composition of cosmetic products that we use almost daily, can significantly affect normal body weight, breaking his system of regulation.


Numerous studies in recent years reveal an increasing number of factors that affect the weight of our body is not less than the food and physical activity. We are talking about the so-called chemical energy contained in various cosmetic products, designed to give us the purity and beauty. In particular, we are talking about quite safe, at first glance, shampoos, body lotions and soap.

The specialists of the Medical Center mount Sinai (Mount Sinai Medical Center in new York say that esters of phthalic acid, which comprise approximately 70 percent of cosmetics and household chemicals that adversely affect our weight, up to the provocations of obesity. According to scientists, the everyday regular use of such tools can be attributed to the high rates of obesity, both among adults and among children.


Long-term studies of American scientists, which they conducted among girls living in the new York area called East Harlem (East Harlem), have allowed scientists to prove the presence of esters of phthalic acid in the body - they were found in the urine of children. "Girls who weigh more level esters of phthalic acid in urine above - said Professor Philip Landrigan (Philip Landrigan) from Medical Center of mount Sinai, pediatrician and author of the study. This level increases as the child gains weight, but in children suffering from severe forms of obesity, it is above all".




Esters of phthalic acid are used in cosmetics and household products as a gelling agent (thickener). Also, these esters for the last fifty years are used in the production of plastic bottles. But recently scientists have begun to suspect that the esters of phthalic acids can greatly affect our health, increasing the risk of various diseases.




Another chemical substance contained in plastic containers and bottles - diphenylolpropane (bisphenol a) - fell into the category of so-called chemical calories. These substances influence negatively on the endocrine system of the body, dissolve in the body, affecting the thyroid gland and the hormones responsible for a huge number of processes in the body.





But not the study of obesity girls from East Harlem who opened the scientist and the world's eyes, exposing the alarming facts about the chemical calories. The first negative impact of these chemicals on the human body found American researchers from the Rochester University medical school (University of Rochester School of Medicine). Back in 2007 they said that the so-called chemical calories affect the development of obesity and resistance to insulin (more in males), which is a precursor of diabetic eye diseases. Scientists of the Rochester medical school analyzed urine, took a blood test and some other tests at 1451 men. Then they came to the conclusion that the high content in the body of the esters of phthalic acid affects the body's resistance to insulin and leads to the formation of fat folds around the belly of the studied men. The mechanism of influence of the esters on the processes occurring in the body, while not fully understood, but there is an assumption that these esters impact negatively on the level of testosterone, which leads to weight gain.
