no, these toxins do leave the body, but their halflife is very long, about 7 years. That's
why the amount accumulates: more is added than is broken down.
during pregnancy a lot of the toxins are passed to the baby. Every next baby receives less
toxins.
some people thinks this could be a factor int he lower breastcancer rates in women who have
given birth a couple of times.
Another way to loose toxins is burning the body fat (so dieting and exercising).
