Toxicity Quiz

Even though your body is equipped with a liver, colon and kidneys to help you remove waste, the truth is that you may be surrounded by more environmental toxins than you realize and are able to eliminate. In order to help your body achieve optimal health, you need to understand how your body may be telling you that things are getting a bit toxic on the inside.  It is also important to open your eyes to the different sources of chemicals to which you may be exposed on a daily basis.

This quiz contains 26 questions.  The first 12 questions are about the specific messages that your body might be sending you.  Questions 13 through 17 are about the foods and habits that burden your liver.  Finally questions 18 through 26 are about your exposure to chemicals.
