Does Cooking With Cast Iron Cause Endometriosis?

I hardly speak Spanish anymore and it's not so good, but let's try. Today let's talk about this video. Very clear because someone put me in this video and I'm looking at the idea that the frying pans, pots, cooking are the cause of endometriosis. And I understand where this comes from. Logic goes something like this. Modern pans have chemicals that alter the the darkness, guys. Pans of are good for health, because we are using it for 100 years or before, like this or something like that.

Then the kitchen is causing the disease. And it sounds logical, but we have to be very, very careful here, because it is not the same. Saying this can influence the body to say this is the cause of the disease. Let's start with something very simple, endometriosis has been around for a very long time, before modern frying pans, before industrial chemicals, before all the pots we are using now. And yet, women suffered, had endometriosis, adenomyosis, severe pelvic pain, had infertility and what they cooked with with snow, with mud, with basic tools.

So from there we already know something key. This cannot be the root cause now. That means the environment does not matter. No, of course not. It does matter, but it matters as a modulating factor, not as origin. We go in parts. First the chemicals that all the people are talking about, than endocrine disruptors, plastics. Yes, there are evidence that they can interact with estrogen receptors, imitating hormonal signals alters alter certain processes. And because endometriosis is sensitive to estrogen, it is worth saying that this can play a role.

It can make the environment worse. Perhaps. But the problem is when we reduce everything to changing your frying pan and you're ready, because that is ignored. The con is completely ignored genetics, epigenetics, hormone receptors, weaving behavior and more. We need to talk about. The eh eh, is a problem in endometriosis inside the pelvic cavity. When the blood gets trapped and degrades, Free, and that rejection generates free radicals, stress, inflammation. That's real. So, to say that the iron pan is good is.

There is more going on here. Okay, the problem in endometriosis is Local accumulation of Iron by retained Blood. This causes problems and again. Historically, women wearing skirts they still had endometriosis. So we cannot simplify, to simplify it thus. And here comes the most important thing. When we reduce this disease to something like frying pans, we are doing something very dangerous. We are minimizing the disease, because then sounds like you're fixing your kitchen, fix your endometriosis. And that is not reality. Endometriosis is not painful, is not simple.

It does not depend on a single WHAT. It is a condition that involves regulations of those on the stairs, changes in estrogen receptors, chronic inflammation, genetic and epigenetic factors. And for many women, this has meant, years of pain, surgeries, fertility problems, impact emotional. That can't be explained by a frying pan. Then we have to be responsible with the message. The environment can play a role. Yes, chemicals can affect, of course. Reduced exposure helps, of course, But that's very different to say That's the cause, because the disease existed long before of all that.

And not that. And that tells us something very important, the underlying problem is not external, is internal. And my posture is clear. Endometriosis is In Great Part a condition of genetic and epigenetic deregulation. The environment can interact with that, but It can influence, But it doesn't explain it completely. And if we pretend that we D.O., We're giving women simple answers for a complex problem. That's right, they don't need simplification, simplifications. They need truth. So yes, take care of your environment, reduce what you need.

Support your body, but he also understands this. You did not develop endometriosis through your frying pans. And say that takes weight away from what he is really experiencing. This is a system disease and makes us not see him. Thus, let's keep small details in one place to understand the whole picture. And that's The difference Between Hearing information and really understanding what's going on On. I hope this video helps you. As I told you, no. My Spanish is not that good, but ah, I tried what I remember.
