Unregulated Testing and Health Risks in Everyday Products
The chapter delves into the lack of testing and regulation for everyday products like skin care, perfumes, hair care, and feminine hygiene items, focusing on the concerning levels of heavy metals found in tampons through third-party testing. It also explores potential future health risks from chronic exposure to radiation from cell phones and the importance of testing cannabis for chemicals and pesticides to ensure consumer safety. The hosts discuss the implications on markets and society if certain health risks are definitively proven, along with historical practices of using labor as a form of reform.
