Thanks to The Cellulite Investigation I've been made aware of a possible connection between xenoestrogens and my unfortunate tendency to get severe cramps with that time of the month. 


I am pretty sure I had these symptoms before the big change in my lifestyle that I associate with my cellulite, which was getting a job and being able to choose what I ate outside my parents' home - so if that's the case, most of my exposure to endocrine disruptors was likely from non-organic meat and dairy, and canned food. Maybe shampoo. But the number of chemical cleaners, plastic storage containers and personal care products in my house growing up was very limited. These days, however, not so limited.


And what of the connection wherein drinking a lot of alcohol on or before the first few days of my period will make for far worse cramping symptoms? Must keep in mind....


Let's see what happens when I get rid of a lot of these possible causes!
