Note: This is an incredibly important study as we are living in a toxic chemical soup, eat and drink toxins in our daily food, and as a society are highly over-medicated. Another reason to eat organic food, drink purified (not bottled in plastic!) water, and learn how to release and deal with stress in a non-harmful manner.
Stress is a well known culprit in disease, but now researchers have shown that stress can intensify the effects of relatively safe chemicals, making them very harmful to the brain and liver in animals and likely in humans, as well.
Even short-term exposure to specific chemicals -- just 28 days -- when combined with stress was enough to cause widespread cellular damage in the brain and liver of rats, said Mohamed Abou Donia, Ph.D., a Duke pharmacologist and senior author of the study.
