If you pose this question to a traditional endocrinologist or a GP, they’d tell you “we don’t know.”
Thyroid Problems – However, holistic practitioners have a different point of view as to why we have a thyroid and autoimmune pandemic in developed countries.

Benefits of Sports Drinks – Sports Drinks – Useful Or Sugar Hits?
Most sports drinks are artificially flavored water containing added electrolytes. Electrolytes are minerals, including sodium, calcium, chloride, magnesium, phosphorous and potassium, which you naturally lose as you sweat. – Livestrong
Benefits of Sports Drinks – These days I am astounded at how many kids are drinking sports drinks, even if they’re not playing sport and just kicking back with friends. Why have sports drinks become the new soft drink?
Commercial sports drinks were initially designed for athletes, who trained and sweated vigorously for prolonged periods, so required electrolytes, rehydration and calorie replenishment. This market is relatively small yet the sports drink market has become a $US 6.81 billion business. Suddenly there are a lot of elite athletes out there….?
Powerade and Gatorade wouldn’t be in big business if the only people who consumed their products were those who actually needed them. These companies cleverly market to sports conscious people and parents of children who play sport, to convince them they are making a healthier choice by consuming these drinks rather than soft drinks. When really, a humble water and possibly a piece of fruit would be of greatest benefit.
Hormone or endocrine disruption affects us all… though it’s something so few of us are aware of even exists.

What are the effects of industrial and agricultural chemicals (Pesticide Use In Australia) on the health of our soils, environment and bodies? How can we reduce our exposure?
Professor Marc Cohen says understanding the truths about toxic chemicals is our first line of defence.
It is widely recognised that the greatest underlying cause of death among humans today is a lifestyle-related chronic disease. The world is in the grip of an epidemic of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, dementia and more, fuelled by a high intake of sugar, fat, salt, alcohol, tobacco, and a lack of physical activity.
In addition to this voluntary consumption, the entire human population is exposed to a toxic cocktail of industrial chemicals.
The impact of industrial chemicals on human health was recently highlighted by WHO, which forecasts a “tidal wave of cancer” (International Agency for Research on Cancer 2014). Meanwhile public health researchers suggest we are experiencing a “silent pandemic of neuro-developmental disorders” and a “chemical brain drain” brought about by the exposure of an entire generation to industrial chemicals (Grandjean 2014).
There are many actions we can take to avoid voluntary and involuntary health risks and, rather than becoming despondent, we need to become more aware and vigilant.
