Over 300 Chemicals Found in Babies’ Cord Blood [Podcast Episode #204].

The birth of a baby is a miraculous moment, yet recent research has shed light on a startling concern—more than 300 chemicals have been detected in babies’ cord blood and placenta at birth. This discovery highlights the fact that exposure to harmful chemicals begins much earlier than we previously thought.

From conception through pregnancy, toxins can pass from the mother to the fetus, raising concerns about their potential long-term effects on child development and health.

This episode will delve into the sources of these chemicals, their potential effects on babies, and how you can reduce exposure during pregnancy.

The Shocking Truth: What’s in Cord Blood?

Cord blood is a rich source of stem cells which help to regulate the immune system. Their responses shown in blood screening can be indicators of underlying coinfections of autism such as Lyme, mold, and strep.

These infections are often undetected in many traditional blood tests, but it can also contain toxic chemicals and environmental pollutants.

Studies, including the Environmental Working Group (EWG) investigation, have found traces of heavy metals, flame retardants, pesticides, and industrial compounds in the umbilical cord blood of newborns.

Out of the hundreds of chemicals detected, some include:

– Lead: A potent neurotoxin linked to developmental delays and cognitive issues.

– Mercury: Found in fish and industrial pollutants, it can affect brain development.

– Bisphenol A (BPA): Used in plastics, BPA has been associated with hormone disruption.

– Phthalates: Common in plastics and personal care products, they can disrupt the endocrine system.

– Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs): Used in flame retardants, these chemicals can harm brain and thyroid development.

The fact that these chemicals are present in cord blood is alarming because it indicates that a fetus is exposed to these substances during critical periods of development...
