Background:
In early 1980s, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) through its EIS, discovered that several US states were gaining weight
abnormally. In 1984, the CDC created the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance
Survey (BRFSS) to investigate. In 1985, the CDC published the first obesity map
based on BRFSS data. Obesity has become epidemic not only in North America,
but in the whole world. Concurrent to the obesity epidemic, we now have
the estrogen, allergy, and anxiety/depression epidemics. In 1992, The USGS
published the pesticides maps and in 2001, the CDC started biomonitoring. The
chemicals found in the blood and urine in individuals from different US states
are reported in the CDC fourth report. This report is updated every two years
and continues to show a growing chemical list overtime.
Objective:
We sought to establish the relationship between environmental
toxins, the endocrine system, and the immune system that may explain the
plethora of 21st century chronic diseases.
Methods:
We used an evidence-based approach called integrative immunity
and the Healthcare Utilization Project (HCUP) database, the CDC obesity maps,
the USGS pesticides maps, chemicals found in the CDC fourth report, and
medical geography techniques, to make sense of current estrogen-obesity-
allergy-anxiety/depression epidemics. Four key diagrams were conceived to
relate pesticides to obesity and comorbidities, and pesticides to environmental
and food allergies.
Results:
We demonstrate that the areas of the heaviest pesticide spray
correspond to the areas of the heaviest obesity, morbidity, mortality, allergy
and anxiety/depression and even divorce rates. Environmental toxins cause
hormonal imbalance that leads to obesity and its comorbidities. Some of
these toxins such as xenoestrogens have receptors on the mast cells and
basophils, and cause histamine and leukotriene release that are responsible
for nasal, respiratory, cutaneous, and food reactions. Acetylcholine esterase
inhibitor chemicals cause depletion of neurotransmitters such as dopamine,
norepinephrine and epinephrine to create mood swings. Other chemicals
stimulate the immune cells to produce antibodies linked to autoimmune
diseases.
Conclusion:
There is a vicious cycle that goes from environmental toxins
to chronic diseases. Understanding the mechanisms through which toxic
chemicals affect the human body offers opportunities for adequate treatments.
