WHAT'S HAPPENING TO OUR BABY GIRLS? (GENERAL INFORMATION)

Babies in the womb cannot transform chemicals very well at all. This is very important factor contributing to the fetus extreme sensitivity to environmental insults. The fetus may build up toxins from the mother's circulation even if the mother is successfully clearing herself. The fetus' in utero is exceptionally sensitive to contaminants that cross the placenta and even more so during the time that organs are being formed. The placenta, as it turns out, is no safe haven after all. Of all the stages in a human being's life, it is the innocent fetus that is most vulnerable and, thus, at most risks from hormone-disrupting chemicals.

Consider pesticides. Those with low molecular weight cross the barrier without restrictions. For them, it is like a free toll road. Pesticides made of bigger, heavier molecules are partly metabolized by the placenta's enzyme before they pass through, but sometimes this transformation creates a more toxic chemical.
