Study: Why Being Too Clean is Bad for Your Health...
Dear Reader,
Can being too clean actually make you sick? Maybe.
A new University of Michigan School of Public Health study finds that children and teens who are overexposed to antibacterial soaps with the chemical triclosan may be at increased risk for hay fever and other allergies. The work also found that adults' immunity might be weakened by high levels of exposure to bisphenol A (BPA). The findings are published in the November 30, 2010 online edition of the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
Earlier animal studies have found that triclosan and BPA might affect immunity, but this is the first work to look at the exposure as it relates to human immune function.
Triclosan is an antimicrobial agent that's often used in antibacterial soaps and body washes... but also in toothpaste, mouthwashes, some cosmetics, products like clothing, kitchenware, furniture and toys, as well as pens, medical devices and diaper bags. You can check labels to see if the products you use have this ingredient.
BPA is a chemical that's been around since the 1960s and is used to make lots of types of plastics, things like reusable cups and baby bottles, and the protective lining in food and beverage cans. Trace amounts of the chemical can be found in some foods packaged this way.
You can limit your exposure, or your child's, by getting rid of bottles, feeding cups and such when they show signs of wear or are cracked. Don't put boiling or very hot water into any container you suspect has BPA.
Both these chemicals are part of a class of environmental toxins known as endocrine disrupting compounds that are thought to negatively impact health by either mimicking or affecting body hormones.
There's growing concern among the scientific community and consumer groups that toxins of this type are dangerous at far lower levels than anyone thought. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration continues to investigate.
In this latest study, the team examined data from the 2003-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. They compared levels of both triclosan and BPA in the urine with cytomegalovirus (CMV) antibody levels and diagnosis of allergies (or hay fever) in anyone over 6 years old.
Those over 18 with higher levels of BPA had higher CMV antibody levels. This suggests that their cell mediated immune system may not be working properly.

Study: Why Being Too Clean is Bad for Your Health... Continued...
The team also found that children and teens with higher levels of triclosan were
more likely to have hay fever and other allergies. This supports the "hygiene
hypothesis" that suggests living in very clean and hygienic environments may
impact our natural exposure to micro-organisms that are helpful, perhaps necessary,
for developing our immune system.
One surprise finding of the work is that age seems to matter when it comes to
BPA exposure. In those 18 or older, higher amounts of BPA were linked to their
CMV levels, but in those under 18, the reverse was the case. This suggests that
the timing of the exposure to BPA might be impacting how our immune system responds.
A limitation of the research is that it measured disease and exposure to chemical
agents at the same time, and this might show only part of the picture. It might
be that people who have allergies are naturally more hygienic because of their
condition. More work is needed.
To your good health,
