Liver and Gallbladder process the fat-soluble toxins. These toxins are lipophilic (they bind easily with fat), they bio-accumulate and move up the food chain.
Examples of fat-soluble toxins:
- Organochlorine pesticides (food)
- Parabens (personal care products, cleaners)
- Phthalates such as Bisphenol A (BPA)(plastics)
- Perchloroethylene (dry cleaning)
- Fluoride (toothpaste, water)
- Flame Retardants (furniture)
- Heavy metals: tin, lead (paint), mercury (dental amalgams, fish)
- Exhaust, air pollution
- Diesel Fuel
