i don't understand hormones.ld the hormones you probably wouldn't like me being the one saying use natural. there's never been an incident of cancer from the hormones. the cancer society did a study of 422,000 women and they found the women who took my kind ofç hormones, the biogeneral cal hormones from age 40 on had a 41% decrease risk of breast cancer and the study of 80,000 women showed women on the synthetic hormones had a 69% increase risk of breast cancer. to me the dangerous, the controversy is over synthetic and what i'm taking is putting back what your body once made. they are by prescription because you don't want to fool around by hormones. it's done by a blood test. there's a website by foreverhealth.com. it's a specialty that not all doctors understand. >> you were a pioneer in acting. also a pioneer in this entrepreneurship. what did you like better. i guess when you started your own business you're running your own show. >> that's the big thing. i like working for myself. i don't have a boss. i am

, the hormones are doing some things there, pregnancy and lactation, and our body's own hormones work at these amazingly small amounts to make these big dramatic changes happen at these important periods of time, so it's not surprising perhaps that external chemicals na look to our body like hormones would have a somewhat notable effects at these same periods of development so that's an important concept that we're starting to see and chemicals that are endocrine disrupting compounds or hormone disrupters as you might hear them called are a big focus of the work we've been doing and of the data that's been emerging in the scientific literature in the last ten years so this is exciting stuff and we'll talk about specifics about that in a minute, another important theme that emerges that we were talking about our meeting earlier is that mixtures matter, it all adds upfinger so some of the chemicals i'm going to talk about you might be exposed to -- kids might be exposed in toys and in food products and in personal care products and all of these different things, so that you get an accum

that is compared to men not on the hormone testosterone therapy.study like this, the doctors need to point out this study in particular men probably had some flaws. most of these men were probably at high risk for a heart problem anyway. researchers said even the men in the study whose angiograms were normal, they did still suffer from heart problems if they were on the testosterone replacement. doctors don't know exactly why testosterone would affect the heart, but they sake the take-home message here is to be cautious. keep in mind, look, this isn't for everybody. it doesn't always work for everybody. so you want to talk about the risks with your doctor, even if you're taking this in a supplement form. we know, we talk about this all the time on this program, that the fountain of youth doesn't come in a bottle, a gel or a cream, even though many of us, fred, wish that it did. >> thanks so much, sanjay. be sure to tune in sanjay gupta m d. at 4:30 eastern, he'll have more details on the fda's move to ban trans fats from food. >>> despite the warni

is imitate your body's natural hormones sometimes to disastrous effect the hormone job is to interact with cells in your body sending signals that tell them to perform certain tasks he sees can mimic those natural hormones like estrogen for example and trick your body into increasing or decreasing hormone levels they can also just buying to receptor is in cells and blocks natural hormones from doing their jobs and they can build up in your organs and interfere with metabolic processes now you've probably already heard of b.p.a. bisphenol a found in lots of hard plastic products like water bottles and in the bodies of over ninety percent of americans b.p.a. mimics estrogen and humans and there seems to be a positive correlation to use obesity diabetes and heart disease but there are plenty of other hormone disruptors often in products you use every day let's look at three though it's banned in the e.u. completely actually seen is the most widely used herbicide in the u.s. and one of the most common drinking water pollutants and get this it can turn male frauds into female frogs of cour

it produces hormones.when you come overweight, especially for women, one thing fat cells do, they take what your ovaries produce and adrenals produce, the technical hormone turns into estrone. so women who are overweight are estrogen dominant. it's a vicious cycle that kind of keeps going. >> this is incredible. so you're telling me that this organ is helping the body to store hormones because it's creating more fat? so -- >> right, the liver turns it to fat. and when we gain weight, we actually make more fat cells. >> that makes more hormones. >> fat cells are now an organ, so we're making more estrogen. men, too. fat cells convert testosterone to estrodiol. you have men who are estrogen dominant. breast cancers are going up in america. we're living longer today but living longer in ill health. people don't understand -- >> say that one more time. >> we're living longer today, but living longer in ill health. >> but that's a choice. >> but there's ways to get around that and that's what this show is about

. >> reporter: today is egg retrieval day, the culmination of weeks of hormone injections to stimulateries into producing more eggs than normal. dr. joel batzofin is her doctor. >> is a donation essentially risk free? >> nothing is risk free. there is anesthesia, there is risk of the procedure. i think the right answer is yes, it's essentially risk free. >> reporter: dr. batzofin mentions there is a rare condition found in less than one percent of patients, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. 27-year-old emma smith, not his patient, was so sick with it she spent six days in the hospital and shot this video diary. >> i feel that they should have gone out of their way to make me more aware of any possible side effects in the all process. >> reporter: dr. jennifer schneider worries there is no registry to track what happens to this exploding group of women donating their eggs. her daughter jessica was a three time egg donor who died at 31 of collin cancer. >> the egg donors are not considered patients. they're considered more like venders. >> reporter: she wonders if the repeated hormone i

so some proteins, if they are ready with her or hormones, they get degraded very fast and you remake them as they are needed. so the half-life of all the different proteins in your cells varies across the spectrum of all 20,000 somewhat proteins. >> great, thank you. your story of a single base pair change triggered a question on what you might think the limits of computational biology could be, which is when, if ever, do you think we would be able to computationally predict the statistical impact of a single base pay or change on the phenotype of? >> so, i think it's a great question. i devote not an insignificant part of the book talked about all the attempts to digitally model life, and most of the studies in fact a base on our sequencing of the micro-plasm genomes, and the group at stanford has gotten closer than anybody else but it involves about 125 different algorithms and a lot of complex computation. we've been trying to see if their data can model what we are trying to make with this minimal cell. and it turns out you can't model it in the computer if you don't know the fun
