Toxic Build up from Food and Water

All industrial toxins end up in the ocean and drinking water.  Dioxins is a toxin that is heavily used by our society for pest control, toys, and all types of plastic products.  This type of toxin is very damaging to liver cells, it is not surprising that a lot of Americans are sick these days with liver problems.  These type of toxins are working its way to us through the foods we eat and water we drink.  High use of dioxins leads to tainted sea food, soil, and water supply.  Dioxins can be linked to GI distress because it targets those type of cells, which can lead to diseases like IBS, Crohns, and Cancer.  This is just one chemical at the tip of a huge iceberg.  There are reports of a lot more industrial chemicals polluting our waters...
"Scientists have detected antibacterial agents from liquid soaps in breast milk, infants’ cord blood and the urine of young girls. Estrogen excreted by women taking birth control pills has proven to alter the sex of fish. In 2005, the Environmental Working group found an average of 200 chemicals in the cord blood of 10 newborns, including carcinogens and neurotoxins." http://www.bluevoice.org/news_sharedfate.php
The amount of dioxins in food or water are not enough to kill anyone right away, but over time that is what will eventually killing you.  This process is played out by slowly hindering liver function to a point of total liver dysfunction.  The liver is crucial for anti-bacterial and anti-viral actions, hormone balance, energy production, mental stability, weight control, and blood purity.  Dioxins have the ability to mutate most cells so that they are unable to preform their duties.  With this in mind imagine the build up over time of liver cells mutating, and not functioning as they should, the liver will eventually be overwhelmed with mutated cells and cease its normal function.  That is when dioxin toxicity will start to show up as GI distress.
